Face Volume & Shaping

Face volume and shaping treatments are designed to restore lost volume, sculpt facial contours, and enhance your natural features using non-surgical methods. These treatments target areas like the cheeks, jawline, chin, temples, and under-eye region, as part of a personalised treatment plan.

Common areas for face volume and shaping treatments include the cheeks, jawline, chin, temples, and under-eye regions. These areas are treated to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and create more definition. 

These treatments are designed to restore volume to areas of the face where it has been lost due to ageing or other factors, helping to improve skin texture and contour. Dr Ryan will explain the approach best suited to your goals during your consultation.

The procedure is minimally invasive and generally well-tolerated. A topical numbing cream or local anaesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort during the treatment. Patients may feel a slight pinch or pressure, but the discomfort is typically brief. 

Recovery time is minimal. Some swelling, redness, or bruising may occur immediately after the treatment, but these effects usually subside within a few days. Most patients can return to their daily activities shortly after the procedure. 

Results can last between 1-2 years, depending on the type of treatment used, the area being treated, and individual factors such as metabolism. Periodic touch-ups can help maintain the desired volume and contour. Yes, the amount of volume added can be tailored to your preferences. During your consultation, Dr Ryan will discuss your aesthetic goals and recommend a treatment plan that best suits your desired outcome. 

At Image Domain, our approach focuses on achieving natural-looking results that enhance your unique features. Dr Ryan uses precise techniques to ensure that the lips remain proportionate to your facial structure. 

Double chin reduction can be achieved through a range of non-surgical approaches designed to target excess fat and tighten the skin under the chin. Dr Ryan will discuss the options suited to your goals during your consultation.

Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the treated area. Serious complications are rare but can include allergic reactions or infection. Dr Ryan will discuss all potential risks and how to minimise them during your consultation.

Good candidates are individuals looking to restore lost volume, define facial contours, or address signs of ageing. A consultation with Dr Ryan will help determine if this treatment is suitable based on your individual goals, skin condition, and medical history. 

Mild swelling, tenderness, redness or bruising at the treated areas is normal and usually settles within a few days; for some treatment approaches, more pronounced swelling, firmness or tenderness under the chin can last one to two weeks. Avoid touching, rubbing or massaging the treated areas for the rest of the day so the treatment can settle, and leave make-up off until the next day. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas, steam rooms and very hot showers for 24-48 hours, and stay out of direct sun while using SPF 30+ daily. A cool compress helps with swelling, and paracetamol is preferable to anti-inflammatories for discomfort. Sleeping on your back with your head slightly elevated for a night or two can reduce swelling, and it is best to avoid dental work for about two weeks. Results typically develop gradually over the following one to several weeks, depending on the treatment approach used. Contact the team at Image Domain promptly if you notice severe or increasing pain, skin that blanches or turns dusky, or signs of infection.
