A Bio-stimulation filler manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis was approved recently by the PBS in Australia and the FDA in the United States for treatment of severe fat loss or Lipoatrophy in HIV positive patients.

This very same filler has been used cosmetically for 10 years in Australia already with excellent results. The stimulating granules are injected deep into tissue where thickening and volume is required at 3 monthly intervals once or twice. Over a period of 6 to 8 months it stimulates Neo-collagenesis growth of your own tissue creating volume lift, curves and tightening at all levels in the facial tissue.

The advantage of this natural new growth is that it is your tissue therefore it is natural, creates filling and tightening of the tissues which no other filler can do. The tightening is created by the growth of the protein fibres in the skin which naturally loosen and are not replaced adequately as we age.

In HIV patients severe loss of fatty tissue occurs due to the medication many patients are on and the bio-stimulation filler can help to restore this tissue over time leaving the patient more confident and healthy looking. The treatment is used in faces and hands.
This sort of Bio-stimulation treatment is very popular at Cosmetic Images as patients like the fact that it is natural; results occur slowly over time so are not as obvious and will last 2 to 3 years before retreatment is required.

Face Feeling flat? Want curves in all the right places?

Volumisation could be just what you need!

Allergan has a ‘big sister’ product to their previous success filler range developed for volumisation specifically. It helps volumise those areas that become flat over time and also helps rejuvenate facial lines and contours. Restoration of volume effectively ‘lifts’ the soft tissue, restoring its original high, youthful appearance.
Made from complex sugars that are already found in the body- it is thicker than the other fillers, therefore meaning it can last a lot longer! Clinical studies from Allergan show it can last up 12 to 18 months. Some practitioners in Europe who have been using this filler for a number of years find that they can get longer than that with clients with subsequent treatments.

Sheri-lee and Gemma have been using this Allergan volumiser for over 2 years now and have been getting fantastic results! There is also a new techniques used to inject this product, which can help reduce the chance of bruising. This filler can be used in many areas including: mid-face for cheek contouring, naso-labial fold (those lines than run from nose to corner of mouth), marionettes (lines from mouth to chin) and for jaw definition. It can also be used in conjunction with thinner filler products for full thickness correction in the skin.

This Allergan volumiser offers numerous benefits; its performed quickly, requires little down time and clients can return to work almost immediately after treatment. At Cosmetic Images we offer a number of different topical/ local anaesthetics to help make your treatment more pleasant. If you wish to use one of these, our helpful staff can arrange this as part of your treatment also.

If you have any queries please ask Sheri-lee or Gemma at your next appointment, or call the clinic to speak to one of the girls for more information.
