Wrinkle Treatment Sydney Australia - Dr George Calfas: GMC Cosmedical Sydney

What about the newer products?
These have been introduced largely from Europe and are derived from synthetic injectable products that have been tested and approved by our TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) Board as safe products for Dermal Filling and replacement therapy. There are a number of these available and they differ from each other in various ways, including: what layer in the skin they are placed, how long they last, what type of wrinkle problem or defect they are best suited to, their mode of action, and so on.

Which Product is for me?
There are a number of variables to be considered, including; individual variations, skin types, the area and types of lines to be treated (not all products are suited to all areas), the volume required, the presence of any medical or skin conditions making some products inappropriate, and so on.

Certainly, however, we now have a greater choice and flexibility of products than ever before to choose the most appropriate product for each patient and to be able to make it more cost effective.

Does it Hurt?
Patients are offered the choice of topical / local anaesthetic to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. Some mild soreness may be experienced over the next day or so, especially for "first timers", but this settles readily with paracetamol (eg. Panadol). Often, there is no discomfort at all afterwards.

How will I look afterwards?
Immediately after the treatment, the area treated may look reddened, slightly raised, perhaps some needle puncture marks, and occasionally a bruise. These will settle with 1 to 2 days, and any tiny bruises will settle within 3 to 4 days. A little oil-free make-up may be used.
