Collagen Filler Australia FAQ - Patients

We understand you will have questions. Many common queries are below, if you have more questions feel free to use our clinic finder to locate a specialist near you.

How long does a treatment take?

A treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, depending on the areas treated.

When will I see the effects of the treatment?

Volumising effects and a reduction in wrinkles and folds can be seen immediately after treatment. Our Collagen Stimulating Filler will then gradually stimulate the production of your body’s own collagen to treat the underlying causes of facial ageing for long- lasting, stable and natural-looking results.

How long will the results last?

Natural-looking and immediate results from our Collagen Stimulating Filler will last from 18 months up to 3 years*, depending on which longevity option your physician recommends for you.

The results are maintained for the expected duration of effect according to the option chosen, enabling you to avoid multiple sessions.

*Expected longevity in-vivo based on extrapolation of clinical data from the two Collagen Stimulating Filler options and accepted microsphere degradation behaviour.

Is the procedure painful?

Tiny amounts of our Collagen Stimulating Filler are injected under the skin using an ultrafine needle, so any discomfort is minimal. It’s quick, simple, virtually painless, and gives instant results.

What is in our Collagen Stimulating Filler?

As Australian TGA guidelines consider the active ingredient in our Collagen Stimulating Filler a “prescription only medication” we cannot name the actual material – but your medical professional may. We can however confirm that our Collagen Stimulating Filler is composed of tiny microspheres suspended in a Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) carrier gel, all naturally broken down by the body into carbon dioxide and water and then eliminated without leaving any traces in your body.

How many sessions are generally needed?

With our Collagen Stimulating Filler only one session is needed for immediate results and long-lasting correction, making it a cost-effective treatment that gives excellent value for money.

Is it OK to combine our Collagen Stimulating Filler with other aesthetic treatments?

Our Collagen Stimulating Filler should not be used in (or close to) sites where previous skin augmentation procedures have been applied. Please speak to your physician for more information.

What should I do following treatment?

The patient should be informed that he or she should minimize exposure of the treated area to excessive sun and UV lamp exposure and extreme cold weather until any initial swelling and redness has resolved.

Are there any side effects?

Like all procedures of this type there is a possibility of adverse events, although not everybody experiences them. These adverse events include but are not limited to infection, minimal acute inflammatory tissue reaction (redness, swelling, rash, oedema, erythema, lumps/nodules etc.), pain (which may be temporary or persistent in nature), transient haematoma or bruising. For a full list consult Instructions for Use and/or your physician.

*Important message. Due to Australian Law, our Collagen Stimulating Filler is classified in Australia as a “Prescription only Medication”. We are therefore unable to advertise the actual brand name of the product or its “active ingredient”.
