Get The Perfect Jawline: Boss Injectables Guide To Jawline Filler

/in , /by

Thinking of getting Jawline Filler? Here at Boss Injectables, we’ve got all the information you’ll need before making the decision.

Jawline Fillers can be used for non-surgical augmentation and contouring of the jawline. Optimising the jawline with dermal fillers helps to create definition and structure in the lower third of the face.

At Boss Injectables, we use a hyaluronic acid filler for contouring the jawline. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and wears off over time. We can use it in a variety of ways across the face to achieve the desired look.

Who can get Jawline Fillers?

Jawline Fillers are recommended to both male and female, younger and more mature positive agers. For the younger client it may be the case of increasing jaw definition to enhance natural features. For positive agers it may be to lift the lower face and minimise jowling. For weight loss clients it may be to restore lost volume and reduce sagging skin. It is also possible to correct asymmetries. Male clients may wish to create a wider-set or more masculine and chiselled jawline while our female clients may wish to accentuate their jawlines for glamorisation.

What happens to our jawline as we age?

As we age, we lose bone density within the mandible (jawbone), therefore losing structural support in the lower face, the fat pads descend to the chin area causing jowling, this causes us to lose our jawline definition. We also lose collagen and elastin in the skin causing the lower face to age further. This can all improved with the use of dermal fillers to give back structure, support and hydration to the jawline and therefore lower face.

What does the Jawline Filler treatment involve?

Before we begin, we take your full medical history, discuss your concerns and complete a thorough assessment of your face. We will then discuss your treatment options, costing and answer any questions you may have. We will take photographs for our records and also for you to look back on and compare results after the treatment. We will then discuss possible side effects and risks and complete a consent form with you.

After thoroughly cleansing the face we will mark up the injections points and prepare your filler. Our registered cosmetic nurse will then inject the area using a needle and/or cannula depending on the desired outcome. The placement of the injections will vary depending on your facial shape and the look you are trying to achieve. The treatment only takes around 20 to 30 minutes depending on how many mls you require. We will then discuss aftercare and answer any further questions.

Is getting Jawline Fillers painful?

Overall, most clients find jawline fillers to be quite bearable with some occasional discomfort. We use a mixture of needle and cannula techniques in the jawline and therefore it does not require as many injections as the lips or even cheeks.  If you are feeling apprehensive, we can use a topical numbing cream on the skin surface before injecting. There is also a local numbing agent in the dermal filler, this works under the skin to numb the entire area as treatment proceeds.

How long do Jawline Fillers last?

Under manufacturers guidelines and past experience, we generally see Jawline fillers last between 12 and 18 months and sometimes up to 24 months. This varies between individuals depending on their metabolism and lifestyle factors. Due to the type of dermal filler used in the jawline we are able to achieve better longevity than that seen in the lips. We recommend attending a consult after 12-18 months to discuss re-treatment to maintain desired results. In some cases, if you re-treat sooner, such as after 12 months, you may require less volume to achieve the same result as the first time.

Is there downtime for Jawline Fillers?

There are a few possible side effects post treatment including redness, swelling, discomfort and bruising at the treatment site and these usually resolve within a week or so. It is also possible to get some small lumps, these should resolve after a few weeks. Is it therefore recommended to complete any dermal filler treatments 2 to 4 weeks before any events. There is also a rare possibility that a small blood vessel may get blocked causing pain, coldness, numbing and discoloration to the site, if this occurs you must contact the clinic immediately and return for dissolving of the filler. If you have any concerns, please contact us for advice.

What is the aftercare for Jawline Fillers?

Post Jawline Fillers, you should ensure you remain upright for the next 4 hours and do not apply any pressure to the treatment area. You should also avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for 4 hours. It is best to avoid excessive heat or cold, strenuous exercise or alcohol as these activities can increase your risk of bruising. It is also important to avoid microdermabrasion, laser or chemical peels for 2 weeks.

How much do Jawline Fillers cost?

At Boss Injectables, Jawline Fillers are $479 per ml. Most clients get good jawline sculpting results with the use of 1ml to 2mls of dermal filler per side of the jawline. However, especially with positive agers, it may be necessary to use more, that is why it is important to have a complimentary consultation and discuss a treatment plan that you are happy with.

The Power of Good Chin Fillers

/in /by

Are you considering chin filler as an option to enhance your appearance? If so, you’re not alone. Chin filler is one of the most popular procedures performed today. But what are the benefits of chin filler and what can you expect from the procedure? In this blog post, we’ll explore those questions and more. So, if you’re thinking about getting chin filler, keep reading!

What is chin filler and what are the benefits of using it

Chin fillers can be used for non-surgical augmentation and contouring of the chin. Optimising the chin with dermal fillers helps to create definition in the lower third of the face especially from a profile view. The chin is a central pillar of the face and needs to be in proportion with the lips, nose and jawline to give an aesthetically pleasing profile.

At Boss Injectables, we use a hyaluronic acid filler for contouring the chin. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and wears off over time. We can use it in a variety of ways across the face to achieve the desired look.

As we age, bone reabsorption occurs, causing the chin to retract backwards, the fat pads descend causing jowling, and we lose all structural support in the lower face. We also lose collagen and elastin in the skin and the downward pull of muscles strengthen giving the appearance of a sad and grumpy face. This can all be improved with the use of dermal fillers in the chin area.

How to determine if you are a good candidate for chin filler

Chin fillers are recommended to both male and female, younger and more mature positive agers. For the younger client it may be the case of improving the side profile or the lip/chin ratio. We may need to reshape a weak or receding chin, improve chin dimpling, or correct a cleft chin (aka bum chin). Male clients may wish to create a wider-set or more masculine or chiselled chin while our female clients may wish to elongate the chin for femininity. For the more mature client they may require chin filler for anti-ageing.

The procedure for getting chin filler injections

Before we begin, we take your full medical history, discuss your concerns and complete a thorough assessment of your face. We will then discuss your treatment options, costing and answer any questions you may have.

We will then discuss aftercare and answer any further questions.

Recovery time and expected results from chin filler injections

After chin fillers, you should ensure you remain upright for the next 4 hours and do not apply any pressure to the treatment area. Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for 4 hours. It is also important to avoid microdermabrasion, laser or chemical peels for 2 weeks. It is best to avoid excessive heat or cold, strenuous exercise or alcohol as these activities can increase your risk of bruising.

Under manufacturers guidelines and past experience, we generally see chin fillers last between 15 and 24 months. This varies between individuals depending on their metabolism and lifestyle factors. Due to the type of dermal filler used in the chin we are able to achieve better longevity than that seen in the lips. We recommend attending a consult after 12-18 months to discuss re-treatment to maintain desired results.

Risks and side effects associated with chin filler injections

There are a few possible side effects post treatment including redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness and these usually resolve within a week or so.

nasolabial folds

Nasolabial Folds AKA Smile Lines … What Are They And How Do I Treat Them?

/in /by

Nasolabial folds, more commonly known as smile lines, are those pesky wrinkles that show up around your mouth and nose. And while they may add character to your face, most of us would prefer to see a little less of them. So what causes these wrinkles and how can we get rid of them? Read on to find out!

What are Nasolabial Folds?

The nasolabial folds are the creases that extend from the side of the nose through to the corners of the mouth, also known as smile lines. They are a natural part of our facial features that tend to deepen with age. While it is attractive to have a little fold here, a deeper crease can cause you to look older than you really are. They are caused by volume loss, facial ageing and repetitive contraction of the surrounding muscles used when smiling and moving the mouth.

Some people may develop wrinkles alongside their nasolabial folds which are more apparent when smiling. It is also possible for younger people who have lost a significant amount of weight, especially in their face, to have more significant and deeper nasolabial folds.

How does ageing affect the Nasolabial Folds?

As we age there is bone reabsorption and loss of volume from the mid face. This results in loss of the underlying supporting structures of the face, leading to a sagging appearance and a deepening of the crease of the nasolabial fold. There is also a loss of collagen and elastin in the skin contributing to additional sagging, lines and wrinkles. This, along with repetitive muscle movements, used when smiling, causes nasolabial folds to deepen and additional lines to form around the mouth.

How do you treat Nasolabial Folds?

Nasolabial folds are best treated using dermal fillers. Dermal fillers restore lost volume and give structure and support to the surrounding areas, softening the appearances of these creases. They also help to reduce additional lines and wrinkles and improve hydration and skin texture. The goal of nasolabial fold injections is not to make them disappear completely but to soften the folds and make them appear less pronounced and the surrounding area smoother and more youthful.

It is rare that this area is treated in isolation, but instead in unison with the cheeks as they are an important mid face area in correcting volume loss and sagging. By treating the cheeks first, this will soften the nasolabial crease therefore requiring a lesser amount of filler to the folds and a more natural result, especially with facial expressions.

The treatment can be completed with a combination of needle and cannula work depending on the desired outcome and treatment plan.

When will I notice results from my Nasolabial Folds treatment?

Results from nasolabial folds treatment are immediate however you should expect to see the best results after two to four weeks once any swelling has gone down and the dermal filler integrates into the tissue leaving a smooth result and improved hydration to the surrounding skin.

How much does filler treatment for nasolabial folds cost and how long does it last?

Dermal fillers to the nasolabial fold area are $459/ml and generally 1ml-2mls is required per session. Some clients only require one session while some may require a repeat treatment one to three months later to get their desired result. Dermal fillers usually last between 12 and 18 months in the nasolabial fold area.

Why choose Boss Injectables for your nasolabial folds treatment?

Nasolabial folds are one of the tell-tale signs of ageing, and can leave you looking tired or older than you feel. Thankfully, there are treatments available to help reduce their appearance and give you a more youthful look. At Boss Injectables, we offer dermal fillers for the treatment of nasolabial folds with a range of holistic techniques.

What are cheek fillers and what are the benefits of getting them done?

Cheek fillers are a non-surgical treatment used for contouring the cheeks. Optimising the cheeks with dermal fillers helps to create definition and lift in the mid-face giving an overall rejuvenated appearance.

We use a hyaluronic acid filler for cheek contouring. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and wears off over time. We can use it in a variety of ways across the face to achieve the desired look.

We recommend attending another consult after 12-18 months to discuss re-treatment to maintain desired results.

Who is a good candidate for cheek filler and why is it needed?

Cheek Fillers are recommended to both male and female, younger and more mature positive agers. For the younger client it may be for facial contouring and beautification.  For the mature client it may be a case of restoring lost volume for anti-ageing.

As we age, bone reabsorption occurs, fat pads descend and we lose all structural support in the mid face. We also lose collagen and elastin in the skin. This results in the atrophy of the cheeks and an inversion of the triangle of youth. This can all be improved with the use of dermal fillers in the cheek area.

Understanding the Differences in Men’s Cosmetic Injectable Treatments

/in /by

Why do men get Cosmetic Injectable treatments?

Often men are looking for ways to look and feel younger. Some want an improved masculine appearance, while others just wish they could reverse the signs of ageing without being too obvious about it. To do this they often turn to cosmetic injectables such as anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. Individualised treatment plans should always be designed  as it is important to recognise that men have different needs than women do!

What are the differences between men’s and women’s Cosmetic Injectables?

There are many treatments for both men and women that share the same basic goals: to enhance their overall appearance. However, that is where the similarities end. Men and women have many differences in facial anatomy as well as their aesthetic trends and preferences which need to be considered when they are being treated with cosmetic injectables.

There are certain features that make people appear more masculine or feminine. For example an angular and squarer face for a man would be considered “masculine,” while women usually have softer faces with oval shapes to them giving a more “feminine” look.

If these gender specific proportions are not taken into consideration during cosmetic treatment it can lead to the feminisation of a males face leaving them looking bizarre and overdone in their appearance. Ensuring you deliver natural looking results is the key to male enhancement procedures. This is not to say that some male clients may not prefer to have the full treatment that allows them to look frozen or iron out as many lines as possible.

What are the differences in Anti-Wrinkle Injections for men?

Anti-wrinkle injections help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles formed from facial expressions especially in the frown, forehead and crow’s feet areas. For most men the aim is to leave a softer, less aggressive appearance without getting rid of the lines completely. This allows for a more natural and often more masculine looking result.

Male anatomy is often quite muscular leaving more facial lines than that of a female. This results in a much higher dose being required, even when trying to achieve a natural looking result.

When treating the forehead there are additional considerations that need to be noted. Men often have larger foreheads requiring more injection sites. It is also important to note that men’s eyebrows should remain flatter in contour and excessive lifting of the eyebrows or over correction of the forehead lines is undesirable.

What are the differences in Dermal Filler Injections for men?

Dermal fillers are another popular cosmetic treatment for men especially for masculinisation and loss of facial volume in ageing or weight loss. The main areas for treatment in males include; jawline definition, chin enhancement, chin creases, sunken cheekbones, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines.

Jawline and chin filler are the most popular areas for male patients. By adding strength and definition, it allows for what is considered classically handsome features. In the chin and jawline, dermal filler can be used to restore bone structure to give a more chiselled and masculine look. In order to achieve this, it may be necessary for men to be treated with a thicker, more viscous filler to account for their larger bone structure and denser skin.

Where men often opt for stronger, more defined and masculine features, female patients may wish to soften or feminise them. It is important that injectors are aware of the differing facial anatomy and aesthetic goals for men to prevent feminising or overfilling their facial features.

Why do Men choose Boss Injectables?

At Boss Injectables, we understand the need for men to feel comfortable at the hands of their injector. This is done by ensuring we have an in-depth understanding of the differences between men’s and women’s anatomy and cosmetic needs. If you have any questions about how these procedures work or what they might do for your appearance, don’t hesitate to ask our friendly staff at Boss Injectables!

Dermal Lip Fillers: How Long They Last and When to Come Back

Dermal Lip Fillers: How Long They Last and When to Come Back

/in , /by

Dermal lip fillers are a great option for those who want to enhance the volume in their lips. But dermal lip fillers don’t last forever! In this blog post, we will discuss dermal lip filler longevity and when you should come back for a consultation or re-treatment. 

How long do Dermal Lip Fillers last?

Dermal lip fillers can last anywhere from six months to a year or more. This varies greatly due to individual metabolism and lifestyle factors such as exercise, smoking and environmental factors such as direct sun exposure. Also, if it is your first time getting lips fillers it is likely that your body will break down the filler faster. This means you will need to re-treat your lips sooner to maintain desired results. 

Does the type of Dermal Lip Filler affect longevity?

Different dermal fillers have varying longevity depending on thickness and structure of the filler. It is undesirable to use a thicker filler, generally reserved for the cheeks, chin or jawline, in the lips due to it being a highly mobile area and the risk of visibility while talking and moving the mouth. 

When should I come for a Dermal Lip Filler Review?

It is recommended that you attend a review of your lip fillers every six months, where your injector can assess your lips and discuss if there is a need for re-treatment. Regardless of the dermal filler used, lip fillers dissolve over time, and it’s normal to require a re-treatment every six months or so to create longer-lasting results. 

Everyone is different so make sure to ask about dermal lip filler longevity and when you should come back for a consultation or re-treatment during your dermal filler consultation. Click here to schedule your free Dermal Lip Filler Consultation today!
