Sinker and Sagger 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.

These treatments use advanced bio-stimulation technology that encourages your body’s own collagen and elastin production.

This helps improve hydration, firmness and skin texture at the surface, and also helps support underlying soft tissue where volume loss and sagging occur.

Improvements build gradually over time as tissue becomes more resilient and balanced.

Most people notice subtle improvements in hydration, elasticity and skin texture in the weeks after treatment.

‘Deeper support and contour changes develop gradually over several weeks as collagen stimulation increases.

Temporary redness, swelling or tenderness at treated sites can happen but usually resolves within a few days.

This approach is suitable if you are seeing signs of reduced hydration, loss of elasticity, softening of facial support or subtle changes to your contours.

It is suited to people who want a natural, gradual improvement in how their skin feels and looks without a dramatic, instant change.

Your nurse practitioner will discuss your goals and assess your face before recommending a suitable treatment plan.

Results vary by individual, but because this approach encourages your body’s own collagen production, many people enjoy longer-lasting improvements in skin quality and support over months rather than just weeks.

However, the average duration can span 10 to 16 months. This is highly individual, as longevity is influenced by age, skin health and quality, and other factors such as genetics and lifestyle factors like smoking, sunbaking, stress, etc.

Please note: Some individuals may need a single treatment session, while others may require 2-3 sessions to achieve optimal correction. This may depend on the degree of severity. This will be ascertained during your comprehensive consultation.

Most clients return to their normal routine quickly, with only mild and temporary side effects like redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites.

These effects settle over a few days. Your practitioner will provide aftercare guidance to support healing.
