Facial Volume Consultations
Support natural facial harmony with tailored cosmetic treatment planning.
As part of the natural ageing process, the face may experience changes such as reduced volume, altered contours, and the appearance of lines. These changes can affect areas such as the cheeks, chin, jawline, and around the mouth and eyes. At Laser Skin and Vein Clinic, our experienced team works with you to explore treatment options designed to support a refreshed, balanced appearance.
We offer personalised consultations with qualified registered nurses who will assess your facial structure, concerns, and aesthetic goals. If a prescription-only treatment is considered appropriate, your consultation will include a referral to one of our doctors in accordance with current medical and regulatory guidelines.
Our clinic is focused on delivering safe, natural-looking results through professional cosmetic medical care. We take a conservative, evidence-based approach to treatment planning to help achieve subtle enhancements aligned with your features and preferences.

More Information on Volume Treatments
What areas may benefit from volume treatment?
Some individuals may consider treatment to address age-related volume loss or enhance specific facial features. Common areas where volume loss may become more apparent over time include the under-eye area (tear troughs), cheeks, chin, lips, and folds around the mouth and nose. In some cases, treatments may be used to support facial symmetry or provide subtle enhancement to areas such as the lips or cheeks.
These treatments are intended to support a refreshed appearance by addressing volume depletion and skin texture concerns.
A thorough consultation is necessary to determine whether this type of treatment is appropriate for you, taking into account your goals, health history, and the clinical judgment of a qualified practitioner.
What are the potential side effects?
Like all medical procedures, volume treatments carry risks and potential side effects. Potential side effects range from common temporary ones like swelling and bruising, through to rare but serious complications such as vascular occlusion which can lead to blindness. Your practitioner will discuss the side effects and potential complications prior to treatment.
