Due to Australian regulations, we are unable to advertise or name specific prescription-only medications online. During your consultation, our practitioners will assess your needs and discuss which wrinkle-reducing options may be suitable for you. All product information, including brand names, can only be provided in a private consultation once suitability has been established.

​Absolutely! Accurate pricing and further information can be obtained following thorough consultation. For more information on filler dissolving please click here..

​Welcome! It is not necessary to book a separate consultation in addition to treatment time. Each appointment is flexible and includes ample consultation time. Of course, if you are unsure and would like some time to think your options over before proceeding, you are more than welcome to book in for a no obligation consultation.

​Each dermal filler appointment takes approximately 30-45 minutes including consultation time. The actual injecting component generally only takes a few minutes depending on the area being treated. Please allow approximately 60 minutes due to the unpredictable nature of medical appointments.

​Dermal-filler results can be seen instantly; however, these may be somewhat masked by bruising and swelling. Swelling can be particularly noticeable in the soft tissue of the lips or under-eyes and may cause the cheeks or chin to appear harsh and overly contoured. The majority of severe swelling generally settles within 3-4 days, however healing of trauma and minute swelling beneath the tissue surface can persist for 3-4 weeks. Therefore, the final result will often not be seen for at least 1 month, and by that time should appear natural and subtle. It is completely normal to feel slightly lumpy, bumpy or asymmetrical within the first 3-4 days post treatment as the filler begins to settle into your own tissue at differing rates.

Depending on the individual and product used, filler can last anywhere from 3 months to well over 2 years.

​

​Almost all patients feel comfortable to resume regular activities immediately post treatment. In some instances, there may be a few small, potentially raised, pink, pin-prick marks for a few hours post treatment. It is relatively rare to bruise or swell from anti-wrinkle treatments, although always possible. If you bruise easily, you may be at higher risk of bruising. If bruising does occur around the eyes, it may take a week or more to completely heal. Therefore, it is recommended treatment is conducted at least a few weeks before any important events. The risk of bruising may be lessened by avoiding blood-thinning vitamins, medications and foods for 1-2 weeks prior to treatment. Intense exercise, caffeine and alcohol should also be avoided for 24 hours prior to and post treatment.

​Dermal fillers have been safely used for many years. As with any medical procedure, dermal-filler treatments may present rare, but possible side-effects. These are discussed in detail during consultation and include the possibility of ongoing swelling, bruising, lumps, granulomas, infection, and very rarely, vascular occlusion, stroke or blindness. Cosmetic Nurse Jana stocks dissolving agent at all times and is highly trained in safe-injecting practice and providing emergency response should intravascular injection occur. All potential risks and side-effects are discussed in detail during each appointment.

It is preferable you attend your appointment make-up free. If this is not possible, make up in the targeted areas will be removed by our practitioners prior to treatment. If you wish to minimise your chances of bruising, it is also recommended that, where medically suitable, you avoid blood thinning medications and vitamins for 1-2 weeks prior. You should also avoid alcohol and caffeine in the preceding 24 hours and not partake in any heat inducing activities, such as heavy work outs, the day of treatment.

• Remain upright for 4-6 hours post treatment.

• Avoid any heat-inducing activities for 24 hours post treatment. These include intense exercise, steam rooms, saunas, spas.

• Avoid makeup for 24 hours post treatment.

• Avoid blood thinning medications, vitamins and food for 24 hours post treatment.

• Avoid placing any pressure on treated areas for 3-5 days post treatment. This includes vigorously rubbing or massaging the area, unless instructed otherwise. If desired, ice may be gently applied to the treated area to help with any bruising or swelling.

• Avoid tattooing, lasers or invasive facials for 2-weeks post treatment.

​Almost all patients find dermal-filler treatments very comfortable. A very strong numbing cream is applied topically, and anaesthetic agent is injected in with the filler. Depending on your own pain tolerance, some gentle pinches or small pricks may be felt but the treatment is very quick, and for the most part, very tolerable.

​Of course! Cosmetic Nurse Jana specialises in treating nervous patients and has many techniques to ensure your complete comfort. Please make sure you have a big meal prior to treatment.

​Cosmetic Nurse Jana has many clients fly interstate to see her. Generally, she prefers patients to avoid flying for 48 hours post treatment and to be available for a 2-week review if needed.

​Anyone under 18, pregnant or breast-feeding women, anyone who has been unwell or is undergoing vaccinations, dental work or facial surgery 2 weeks either side of their appointment. This list is not exhaustive, and it is the patient’s obligation to inform the practitioner of all medical issues and medications. All patients are consulted with a doctor prior to treatment where any individual medical issues or potential contraindications can be discussed.

Due to Australian TGA regulations, we are unable to publish specific prices for cosmetic medicine treatments online. Treatment costs can only be discussed following a personalised consultation, where your individual needs and suitability are assessed. This legislation, introduced in 2024, has changed the way cosmetic practitioners may advertise and communicate treatment information. We understand this may feel inconvenient, and we appreciate your understanding as we uphold these compliance requirements while continuing to prioritise transparency, safety, and patient care.
