Important Notice
There have been recent updates in the advice from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) about advertising of medical or nursing treatments that necessarily result in the use of a prescription only medication (such as dermal filler injections – which use substances listed on Schedule 4 of the Therapeutic Goods List).
Therefore the information on this web page has been changed. Previously, we had information describing what to expect when having lip filler injections, and we used to show before and after images of our patients who have had lip filler treatments with us. We felt that doing this was helpful to anyone curious about these treatments or who may have wanted to see examples of our work to help them to choose which practitioner they wanted to see.
The TGA has announced that providing any type of information about these treatments (outside of a private consultation room) is likely to be considered a form of advertising of the substances used in these types of treatments. Therefore it is now prohibited to share this type of information publicly such as on a webpage or a social media page.
If you’d like more information about Lip Filler injections please book in for a consultation (with no obligation to proceed with any treatment).
Please remember, that filler injections are one option out of many that might be appropriate for certain patients looking to alter the appearance of their lips. As a clinic with many different treatment options available, we are able to use our experience to assess each patient and devise a tailored treatment plan in consultation with our patients.
Risks of Filler injections
Dermal fillers, including lip fillers, are prescription only substances because they have the potential to cause serious problems. It is only possible to have lip filler injections after a thorough personalised consultation, during which your suitability for the treatment will be assessed and at the end of the consultation you may or may not be offered a prescription for the substances necessary to do these injections. During the consultation we will describe the intended benefits as well as the possible complications and the mitigating steps that are taken to minimise these risks and the contingency plans that we have in place. You should not proceed with any filler treatment unless you understand all of this information which is better discussed in person during your consultation.
Alternatives to lip filler injections
It is important to keep in mind that there are other ways to increase lip volume that do not require injections. The treatment that we have at MIRA Clinic that can do this is a combination Radio Frequency and High Intensity Ultrasound treatment using our BTL Exion device. Which is why when you come in for your consultation we won’t simply give patients whatever treatment they ask for, we will do a detailed consultation and learn more about each patient’s motivations and assess their unique skin characteristics and assess their facial proportions
At Mira Clinic in Perth, we assess every patient thoroughly, using our experience to help patients select the treatments that we believe will be the most likely to deliver favourable outcomes.
Lip Fillers Before and After
If you want to see any of our before and after images from our lip filler injection treatments, you can do so during a bespoke consultation with one of our practitioners.
On our website, in order to be compliant with the TGA advertising rules, we will only be showing before and after pictures of treatments that do not depend upon a prescription-only substance in order to achieve the demonstrated results. For example, the Exion Face applicator, is a no-needle treatment that studies have shown is able to stimulate the body to make its own hyaluronic acid and therefore create subtle, natural-looking lip enhancement. Since the Exion treatment does not use any prescription-only medication we can show you the before and after results from this treatment.
