Dermal filler treatments are non-surgical cosmetic procedures designed to address specific areas of the face. With their growing popularity, it’s important to understand the costs, risks, and what to expect.

How Much Do Dermal Filler Treatments Cost?

The cost of dermal filler treatments depends on several factors, including:

  • The area being treated.
  • The amount of filler required, typically measured in millilitres.
  • The qualifications and experience of the practitioner administering the treatment.
  • The type of filler used, such as hyaluronic acid-based fillers.

At Cosmos Clinic, the starting cost for hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers is approximately $350 per millilitre. An initial consultation, charged between $120–150, will determine how many millilitres are needed and the total cost based on your specific needs.

Why Cost Shouldn’t Be the Only Factor

The increasing popularity of dermal fillers has led to a rise in providers offering these treatments at varying price points. While affordability can be appealing, choosing a provider based solely on cost can compromise safety and outcomes.

Concerns to Be Aware Of:

  • Some beauty salons and spas may offer dermal fillers without the oversight of qualified medical professionals.
  • Injectors with minimal training or limited experience may lack the expertise required for safe and effective results.

Potential Risks of Dermal Fillers

While minor side effects such as temporary redness or bruising are common, poorly administered dermal fillers or substandard products can lead to more serious complications, including:

  • Lumps or uneven texture in the treated area.
  • Skin discolouration or prolonged swelling.
  • Infection or allergic reactions.
  • Severe complications, such as tissue damage or blindness, in rare cases.

For these reasons, it is essential to choose a clinic with experienced professionals who prioritise patient safety.

Making an Informed Decision

Before proceeding with dermal filler treatments, consider the following:

  1. Qualifications Matter: Ensure the injector is a registered nurse or doctor with appropriate training.
  2. Consultation: A thorough consultation should discuss your goals, medical history, and any potential risks.
  3. Be Wary of Deals That Seem Too Good to Be True: Discounts like “buy one, get one free” or heavily discounted offers may indicate a lack of quality or safety.
