Volume Restoration and Contouring
Restore volume and structure to your skin
When a loss of elasticity and collagen is combined with the effects of gravity, the skin begins to sag in conjunction with the appearance of lines and wrinkles, which can alter your appearance and affect your confidence. Dermal volumiser and contouring treatments are a non-invasive treatment that helps restore volume to the areas of your face that need it the most, while also stimulating the production of collagen.
Dermal volumiser and contouring treatments are a versatile treatment that can be used to treat several different areas of the face, including the lips, cheeks, eye area and jawline. Precise treatments can be used to achieve instant and long-lasting results in less than an hour, all without the need for downtime.
Very often, dermal volumiser and contouring treatments are used in conjunction with wrinkle reduction treatments to completely rejuvenate the face. At MUSE Clinic Sydney, we will help you create a tailored treatment plan that will address your unique skin concerns, leaving you with supple and vibrant skin that stands the test of time.
What to Expect
Dermal volumiser and contouring treatments are an ideal treatment for men and women who want to restore volume and structure to the skin, while minimising some of the most common signs of ageing.
Dermal volumiser and contouring treatments contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally produced by the skin. Along with the treatment adding volume and structure to the skin, dermal volumiser and contouring will also stimulate collagen production to encourage long-term, anti-aging results.
Dermal volumiser and contouring will be precisely delivered to the treatment area after applying a topical numbing cream to ensure a comfortable treatment. After treatment, patients can return home or to their normal daily routine, experiencing minimal downtime.

Dermal Volumiser and Contouring Treatment Results
