Dermal Augmenters Melbourne

At Dr Jaclyn Wong’s clinic, dermal augmenters are used to restore volume loss and support facial structures that change with age. These treatments involve prescription-only products administered by a qualified medical professional following a thorough consultation to assess your concerns and medical suitability.

What are dermal augmenters?

Dermal augmenters are composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that attracts moisture and supports tissue hydration. Hyaluronic acid helps maintain skin volume and structure by retaining water within the tissues.

The dermal augmenters used by Dr Wong are formulated with advanced technology to provide a soft, flexible, and natural-feeling result with minimal irritation to the surrounding tissues. Some formulations may also contain antioxidants to support skin health.

To reduce the appearance of lines or restore volume, dermal augmenters are injected into specific areas either within the deeper tissues or more superficial layers of the skin, depending on the treatment goals. They are commonly used to restore volume in areas such as the lips or under the eyes where hollowing or volume loss may occur.

Dermal augmenters can also be combined with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatments, which utilise your own blood-derived growth factors to stimulate collagen production and support natural volume enhancement in the treated area.

Procedure for dermal filler treatment

The process for dermal augmenter treatment is similar to that for wrinkle treatments. A thorough understanding of facial anatomy is essential to minimise risks such as tissue damage or, in rare cases, visual impairment.

Before treatment, the area to be treated is cleaned and disinfected to maintain strict clinical hygiene standards. A fine needle or cannula is then used to carefully inject the dermal augmenter into the targeted area. An ice pack may be applied after treatment to help reduce swelling if required.

The number of injections needed will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. Following the procedure, most patients can return to their usual daily activities, including work and light exercise. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous activities and excessive facial pressure on the treated area for the first 24 hours, as advised during your consultation.

A.P.A.G Plasma Gel for Naturally Sourced Volume Restoration

What Is Plasma Gel?

Plasma Gel is an autologous treatment option that utilises a gel derived from your own blood plasma. It is used to restore volume and improve the appearance of areas affected by age-related volume loss or skin changes.

• 100% Endogenous: Plasma Gel is derived entirely from your own body, reducing the risk of adverse reactions and ensuring high biocompatibility.
• Simple Preparation Process: The APAG Plasma Gel Thermostat facilitates straightforward preparation of the gel for treatment.
• Adjustable Consistency: The gel’s viscosity can be customised to suit different treatment areas and goals, based on individual assessment.

Treatment Applications

Plasma Gel may be used for:

• Volume replenishment in areas such as cheeks, under eyes, and other facial regions
• Improving skin texture and hydration
• Supporting cell regeneration
• Treatment of certain types of acne scarring
