Volume Enhancement Treatments
About this Treatment
As we age, our skin naturally loses volume, leading to a less vibrant appearance. This process can affect areas like the lips, cheeks, and eyes, resulting in sagging, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. Volume Enhancement Treatments offer a solution by restoring lost volume, rejuvenating your features for a more youthful look.

FAQs
What is the difference between volume enhancement and anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections freeze the muscle of the treated area to prevent it from moving or working as hard, thus eliminating the cause of lines. Volume enhancement is a gel-based agent injected under the skin to add fullness to the treated area.
Who is not eligible for anti-wrinkle treatment?
Anti-wrinkle injections are not available to those who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects of anti-wrinkle injections include minor bruising, swelling or slight pain at the injection site. Serious complications are rare, however these can include temporary weakness or drooping at the site if not injected correctly.
What areas can be treated with anti-wrinkle injections?
Common treatment areas for anti-wrinkle injections include the forehead, glabella (frown lines) and crow’s feet (around the eyes). Anti-wrinkle injections can also be used for other upper and lower facial areas and medical conditions, such as migraines, teeth grinding, muscle slimming and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
How long do the results last?
The longevity of anti-wrinkle injections vary individually, however results typically last between 3-5 months.
What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a non-surgical treatment method used to lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in the appearance of smoother skin. They operate by disrupting the signals that prompt muscle contraction, thereby lessening line formation.
