Volume enhancing treatment are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures offered at DrCosmetist. Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring substance found in our tissues and is super hydrating, holding a thousand times its weight in water. It is injected into different depths and layers of the face to smooth out lines and wrinkles, creating plump, hydrated results, and adding volume and contouring to your cheeks, jawline and lips.

The most common side effects occur within 24 hours or immediately post treatment, which may include swelling, bruising, redness, infection and tenderness.
Our clinic provides you with emergency contact details, and we strongly recommend you attend our complementary follow-up review appointment which is arranged 2 weeks post-treatment to discuss your treatment results.
Can I eat or drink after lip filler?

Do Volume enhancing treatment hurt?
