10 minute nose job?


Injectable rhinoplasty is the latest technique to non-surgically reshape a nose. Stars such as Ashlee Simpson have been purported to have undergone this procedure (see photo). The actual shape and size of the nose is perceived by its contours, rather than its absolute size. By injecting dermal filers such as Radiesse into areas such as above a bump, or into a hollow in the nose, the nose can be made to appear smaller and straighter. Also, the entire height of the nose can also be lifted in some cases.

The price for injectable rhinoplasty with Radiesse is $660 and can last for around 18 months.

Chin enhancement = rhinoplasty replacement?



The balance between the facial features often determines the perception of the actual size of certain parts of the face. For example, enhancing the chin can make a perceivable decrease in the apparent size of the nose. Chin enhancement can be performed with dermal fillers that last from 6 to 18 months. There is also improvement in the 'double chin' when the chin is enhanced to project further forward.

Solutions and Treatment Tools in Focus.

Injectable Lip Enhancement

In Focus - Injectable Lip Enhancement
Injectable lip enhancement is the procedure of strategically injecting dermal fillers into parts of the lip and surrounding lip areas to enhance, shape, or add volume to the lips and reduce surrounding wrinkles. Our doctors are highly experienced in lip enhancement, and also, some of our doctors train other doctors Australia wide on how to inject lips.


Dermal Fillers

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are used to fill or replace the lost volume in static wrinkles, lines and folds. Unlike anti-wrinkle injections, they do not affect facial muscle contraction. Generally, dermal fillers are used in the treatment of wrinkles, lines, and folds that appear at rest, rather than those that appear during facial expression. Dermal fillers can also be used to enhance, define, or enlarge lips, and to shape the face by injection into cheeks, chins, and noses.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a process that deeply exfoliates, polishes, and increases the lymphatic drainage of skin. It uses a gentle vacuum to bring your skin in contact with a diamond coated head that gently abrades the top layer of dead skin. It can be used in the treatment of sunspots, pigmentation, acne (it is particularly good for comedonal acne/blackheads), acne scarring, fine lines, pores, and dull skin. It is most commonly used on the face, but can be used on the neck, back, and hands.
