Dermal enhancement treatment involves personalised treatment planning for people
seeking assessment of facial volume, contour and structural changes that may occur over time. Changes in facial volume, skin support and facial proportions can affect areas such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, chin, lips, lower face and hands.
At Dermé Aesthetic Clinic in Camberwell, dermal enhancement treatment is approached through comprehensive consultation, facial assessment and individualised treatment planning. Dermé Aesthetic Clinic is led by Dr Amir Masoudi (AHPRA Registration No. MED0001655534), Registered Medical Practitioner, General Registration. Treatments are performed following an individual assessment, with medical review available where appropriate.
Treatment planning is tailored to the individual’s anatomy, facial proportions, treatment goals and suitability. Recommendations are based on clinical assessment, informed consent and discussion of available treatment options.
Dermal enhancement refers to personalised cosmetic injectable treatments that may be
used to support facial volume, contour and structural balance in selected areas. Treatment
is individualised and may involve small injections placed in carefully selected areas of the
face or hands.
Dermal enhancement may be considered for people seeking assessment of:
• Facial volume changes
• Cheek contour and mid-face support
• Lower-face contour
• Jawline contour
• Chin projection and balance
• Temple volume changes
• Lip shape and proportion
• Nasolabial fold and marionette region assessment
• Under-eye appearance in selected cases
• Volume changes affecting the hands
Not every concern is suitable for injectable treatment, and not every area should be treated
in the same way. A consultation is important to assess anatomy, suitability, potential risks,
limitations and expected outcomes.
Facial appearance is influenced by the skin, fat pads, ligaments, bone structure and muscle activity. Over time, changes in these structures can alter facial volume, contour and support.
Common changes may include:
• Reduced cheek volume
• Volume changes around the temples or under-eye area
• Changes in facial contours
• More visible folds around the mouth
• Changes in chin and jawline contour
• Changes in lip shape and volume
• Thinning skin and reduced elasticity
• More visible veins or tendons on the hands
Dermal enhancement treatment may be considered as one of several treatment options depending on the individual's concerns, treatment goals and suitability.
Your treatment session begins with a consultation. During this appointment, your
practitioner will assess your facial structure, skin quality, symmetry, treatment history and treatment goals.
Your consultation may include:
• Discussion of your concerns and treatment goals
• Assessment of facial proportions and individual features
• Review of medical history, allergies and previous cosmetic treatments
• Assessment of treatment suitability and risk factors
• Discussion of expected outcomes and limitations
• Explanation of aftercare and potential downtime
• A tailored treatment plan
• Medical review where appropriate
Dermé takes an individualised and conservative approach to treatment planning. Where treatment is not suitable, or where an alternative approach may be more appropriate, this will be discussed during consultation.
Cheek enhancement
Cheek enhancement may be considered for people seeking assessment of mid-face volume and contour. Treatment planning is individualised and based on facial proportions, anatomy and treatment goals.
Jawline enhancement
Jawline enhancement may be considered for people seeking assessment of lower-face contour. Treatment planning considers the relationship between the chin, jawline, lower face and neck.
Chin enhancement
Chin enhancement may be considered when assessing facial proportions and lower-face contour. Suitability depends on individual anatomy and treatment goals.
Temple enhancement
Changes in temple volume may occur over time. In selected cases, dermal enhancement may be considered following assessment of anatomy, suitability and treatment goals.
Lip enhancement
Lip enhancement may be used to address lip shape, volume, border definition, symmetry and proportion. Treatment planning is tailored to the individual's anatomy, preferences and suitability.
Nasolabial folds and marionette area
Folds around the mouth may be influenced by facial movement, skin characteristics and changes in facial volume. Treatment planning may involve assessment of the area itself and surrounding facial structures.
Back-of-hand enhancement
Changes in hand volume may make tendons and veins more noticeable. Dermal
enhancement may be considered for suitable individuals following assessment and
consultation.
Dermal enhancement treatment may involve a series of small injections placed into selected areas according to an individualised treatment plan. The exact approach depends on the area being treated, the individual anatomy and treatment goals.
Before treatment, your practitioner will discuss the treatment plan, expected outcomes, potential risks, possible side effects and aftercare requirements. Treatment is performed in a clinical setting using appropriate hygiene and safety protocols.
Public information on this page is intentionally general. Specific products, doses and
treatment details are discussed during consultation following assessment of suitability.
Dermé Aesthetic Clinic is a doctor-led clinic. This supports a medically informed approach to cosmetic treatment planning, particularly for individuals with complex concerns, previous treatment history or relevant medical considerations.
If a medical assessment is required, or if your practitioner believes a doctor review is
appropriate before proceeding, this can be arranged within the clinic.
Dermal enhancement may form part of a broader treatment plan depending on the
individuals concerns and suitability. Skin quality, pigmentation, texture, redness and
hydration may also contribute to overall skin appearance.
At Dermé, your practitioner may discuss skincare recommendations or other treatment options where appropriate. These may include skin boosters, skin needling, LED light therapy, chemical peels, laser-based treatments or tailored homecare depending on individual concerns and suitability.
A personalised skincare plan may support skin barrier function, hydration and overall skin health. Dermal enhancement treatment focuses on facial volume and contour, while skincare addresses other aspects of skin appearance.
Results vary depending on the area treated, individual anatomy, treatment plan and
biological response.
Changes may be visible following treatment; however, swelling and settling time should be expected. The final appearance may take time to stabilise depending on the area treated and individual response.
Downtime varies depending on the treatment area and individual response. Common
temporary effects may include redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, firmness or mild asymmetry while the area settles.
After treatment, you may be advised to avoid:
• Touching or pressing the treated area unnecessarily
• Strenuous exercise for a period advised by your practitioner
• Alcohol for a period advised by your practitioner
• Saunas, steam rooms and excessive heat
• Facial massage unless advised by your practitioner
• Makeup for a period if instructed
• Dental or facial procedures immediately after treatment unless approved by your
practitioner
Your practitioner will provide aftercare instructions specific to your treatment plan.
All cosmetic procedures carry risks. These may include bruising, swelling, tenderness,
redness, infection, lumps, asymmetry, dissatisfaction with the outcome, delayed reactions or rare vascular complications. The risk profile varies depending on the treatment area and the individual.
A detailed consultation and informed consent process are important before treatment.
Dermé will discuss relevant risks, limitations and aftercare requirements before proceeding.
Duration varies depending on the treatment area, individual metabolism, treatment plan, lifestyle factors and the product selected following consultation and assessment.
Review appointments and future treatment planning can be discussed with your
practitioner where appropriate.
