Volumising Lip Treatments

When considering any aesthetic treatment, it is important to be informed about potential risks and to consider two key factors: the safety of the treatment process and the qualifications, training, and experience of the person performing it. Taking time to research your options is strongly recommended.

All medical procedures carry possible side‑effects, which will be discussed with you during your consultation. Treatments designed to restore or enhance facial features use a smooth gel‑based material placed beneath the skin. As with any procedure of this nature, temporary effects such as swelling, bruising, lumpiness or mild discomfort can occur and generally resolve within a few days with simple aftercare. In rare cases, more significant side‑effects such as infection, allergic reaction, granuloma, or tissue injury have been reported, and in extremely rare circumstances, visual changes or vision loss have been documented.

At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, our team is trained in emergency response and the management of all adverse events in line with recognised clinical safety guidelines. We follow strict protocols for safe treatment delivery and medical management should a complication arise. At your initial consultation, and at least every 12 months thereafter, you will have a consultation with one of our supervising medical practitioners, who will review your medical history, current medications, and any allergies or health conditions that may affect your suitability for treatment.

Our clinical team undergoes ongoing professional development and participates in regular in‑clinic safety and skills training. We also stay current with industry safety standards and emergency protocols through professional memberships and conference attendance. For your safety, we only use products and devices supplied via approved Australian therapeutic channels and with established safety profiles.

Depending on the area being treated and the product selected, most Volumising Treatments can be completed within a 30 to 60 minute appointment. In some cases, you may be asked to arrive earlier so a topical anaesthetic cream can be applied to enhance comfort.

Over time, the gel-based substance used in Volumising Treatments is gradually broken down by the body. To maintain your results, we recommend scheduling follow-up appointments before the effects have fully worn off. This approach helps preserve the structure and supports longer-lasting outcomes.

If you decide not to continue with further treatments, your skin will gradually return to its original state without adverse effects such as overstretching. In fact, studies and clinical experience suggest that even a single treatment may stimulate natural collagen production, which can enhance skin tone and texture. As a result, the treated area may appear softer and more refined than before.

You will notice some side effects that will only last for about a few days. We will discuss these potential side effects in detail with you and advise how you can prevent them from occurring. The most likely side effects (if any) post a Volumising Lip Treatment session includes the following:

Swelling:
When swelling is experienced with this treatment, it usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours. Our experts will advise you on how to prevent swelling once your treatment is complete.

Bruising:
Bruising is a potential risk when the skin is exposed to any procedure that involves penetration. Most of the time the bruises are very small and can be easily covered with mineral makeup. There are certain medicines that increase the bruising occurrence and you will be notified about these prior to your treatment.

Tenderness:
It is quite normal to feel a mild tenderness at the treatment site after having the Volumising Lip Treatment. It is also easily manageable by simply taking a mild pain relief medication such as paracetamol. Other measures include applying ice to the treated area to reduce bruising or swelling, avoiding sauna, spas, strenuous exercise, and certain medicines. The post treatment care information will be explained in detail after your treatment is completed.

After your consultation, you’ll be offered a customised treatment plan. You might like to consider the options and then re-book an appointment for another visit, or you can begin the treatment on the same day (if time permits).

Once your Volumising Lip Treatment is complete, we will give you instructions regarding your aftercare. If you have any questions or concerns we encourage you to call the clinic and speak with one of our clinicians. You can also book a review or follow up appointment two weeks after your treatment at no further cost.

As the ingredients are prescribed medicines, we cannot name the product by its known brand name or list unit or syringe pricing, as per TGA advertising codes and our regulating body, AHPRA.

We offer consultations and assessments with our registered Nurses to determine how to achieve an optimal result for you.

• Clients are asked to avoid alcohol and blood thinning medications 7 days prior to treatment to prevent bruising
• It is strongly advised that you don’t wear makeup or foundation prior to your treatment as makeup can harbour bacteria.
• After thoroughly cleaning your skin a strong topical Anaesthetic cream is applied half an hour prior to the treatment to ensure client comfort
• Hospital grade antiseptic solution is used to clean the skin prior to treatments
• During the treatment the product is injected into the skin in small amounts using varying techniques to achieve best results
• Ice is applied during and immediately after to help reduce potential swelling and bruising
• Your skin is thoroughly cleansed again and arnica cream may be applied to finish
• Most treatments take approximately half an hour to one hour, however time will vary depending on the area being treated. We also usually recommend for you to come in approximately half an hour before your appointment to have numbing cream applied to the areas.

Lip enhancement treatments, typically made from gel-based formulations, gradually break down over time as the body naturally metabolises the product.

This process is influenced by individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. The results usually last several months, after which the added volume slowly diminishes and the lips return to their original appearance.

A Volumising Lip Treatment will take approximately 1 hour. This includes 30 minutes of consulting time to formulate the right look for you as well as applying a topical anaesthetic to the area.

To ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible, we first apply our powerful numbing cream to your lips. All our Volumising Lip Treatments also come loaded with local anaesthetic, which makes this a very comfortable treatment.

Volumising Lip Treatments can last from 8-12 months* However, longevity is client dependant.
