Frequently Asked Questions

 Botox®, Dysport® and Xeomin® are all injectable neuromodulators. While each product is based on a slightly different formulation of Botulinum Toxin A, they work in essentially the same way: 

they block the nerve impulses of the injected muscles to temporarily paralyze muscle contractions that cause wrinkles. 

The most common target areas for these injections include:

• Horizontal forehead lines
• Frown lines between the brows
• Crow’s feet
• Nasal squint lines
• Hyperhidrosis(excessive sweating)
• Brow lift
• lip flip (enhanced shape of lips and can help with gummy smile)
• DOAs (uplifts corners of the mouth  giving you a rejuvenated and youthful smile)

 Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours. At Enhanced, the most common type of filler used include hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that is already found in your skin. It helps keep skin plump and hydrated. The results are temporary, lasting up to 12 months or longer before the body gradually and naturally absorbs the particles. Most HA fillers are infused with lidocaine to help minimize discomfort during and after treatment.  

 Your safety is our main concern and for this reason, we do not treat clients who are pregnant. We advise against all cosmetic injectable treatments whilst pregnant simply out of precaution and due to the lack of information available on cosmetic injectable treatment effects on the fetus.  

 You can, but it's charged at the cost of 1ml. This is common in the industry as the product comes in 1ml syringes and for safety reasons, any remaining product must be discarded. 

We do not offer to dissolve Dermal Filler if you were treated outside of our clinic. If you wish to dissolve Dermal Filler you received at Enhanced, you must book a review with your Cosmetic Injector. 

Avoid international travel for 2 weeks post-treatment. The prolonged cabin air pressure can cause unpredictable swelling and bruising. 

Lip filler results are visible straight away. You may experience some swelling and bruise for 1-5 days, however, this is completely normal after a cosmetic injectable treatment. During this time, an ice pack should be applied to the area to reduce any swelling/bruising.

Lumps and bumps are also common after having your lips treated which is why it’s important to ensure you attend your complimentary review. A complimentary post-treatment review is available to all injectable clients. It not only gives the Injector an opportunity to check in with the results of the treatment, but it also gives you, the client, an opportunity to ask any lingering queries you may have.

Dermal Fillers can last from six months to 1 year and in some cases longer depending on how fast the body metabolizes the product. Lips are a high activity area as we use them all the time, this can impact how long the results will last. 

The most common side effects occur within 24 hours post-treatment. These include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness.

Immediate side effects usually disappear within days. However, depending on the type of dermal filler used, it can take a few weeks. At Enhanced, we strongly encourage a review appointment which is complimentary 2 weeks post-treatment to discuss your treatment results.

Lip fillers are an aesthetic treatment and as such should only be performed by qualified medical professionals. At Enhanced, it's about experience. Our team of experienced Doctors and Registered Nurses use the latest technology and facial analysis techniques, our team create a personalized treatment program for each and every client.

During your treatment, the product will be taken from the sealed box. Everything is transparent. You will be able to see exactly what is going on and what is being used. We only use the very best cosmetic injectable products that are on the market.
