Dermal filler has become an increasingly popular treatment option to restore and enhance key facial features.
A common type of facial dermal filler is made from hyaluronic acid; a synthetic form of a polymer that is naturally distributed widely throughout our connective, epithelial and neural tissues.
It provides structural and biochemical support and is a major component in tissue regeneration and inflammation response, both phases of skin wound repair and regeneration. So not only can Dermal filler improve our external aesthetic, it’s also working hard beneath the surface to aid our bodies natural cellular turnover of collagen, fibrous connective tissue and epithelium - which production slows during the ageing process.
DERMAL FILLER CAN:
Longevity of Dermal Filler varies deepening on the type used and area treated. Typically, most dermal fillers last between 9-24 months and most patients will have regular maintenance treatments 9-12 monthly.
The type and amount of dermal filler required depends on the patient’s individual goals and aesthetic needs and can only be determined during consultation in clinic. Due to new legislation effective from the 1st of July 2023, we are unable to publish variations of dermal filler pricing online. All costs involved are explained during consultation including options for filler packages.
All patients require a comprehensive consultation prior to any cosmetic procedure to determine suitability and understand the risks involved. Please refer to our FAQ if you require further information on suitability of treatment.
**Cosmetic treatments carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone. A consultation is performed prior to every treatment. Cosmetic injectables are invasive medical procedures carrying risks that need to be discussed with a qualified health practitioner. Individual results vary.
At Box Aesthetic, our philosophy focuses on educating and better developing our patients' understanding of their own anatomy and aging process. This is why we have created our booking option “Help Me Decide” as we understand it can be difficult to know what treatment is suitable for you. This booking option allows for a consultation with treatment on the day with one of our experienced cosmetic nurses, working together to customise a plan tailored to your needs.
So if you’re not sure what cosmetic treatment you require, book our “Help Me Decide” option under our cosmetic services tab.
YES. All patients new to Box Aesthetics MUST book as a new patient. New patient appointments are longer that existing patient appointments as they allow time for a comprehensive consultation, treatment and medical history, and scripting you for the treatment.

Depending on the treatment area, different forms of anaesthesia are used to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible. Prescription strength topical anaesthetic is used for all lip filler treatments.
For other areas, lignocaine can be administered if appropriate to temporarily block nerve sensation (just like a dental block).
Dermal filler also contains anaesthetic within the gel, so treatments are well tolerated.
No. As cosmetic procedures are not medically necessary, they are to be avoided during pregnancy to minimise the risk of harm to the mother and/or unborn child. At Box Aesthetic, maintaining patient safety is paramount, so no cosmetic procedures will be performed if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you want to maintain your anti-aging skincare routine, we advise to book in a skin consultation with our dermal therapist to discuss pregnancy safe skin treatments and skincare products.
We understand that sometimes knowing what treatments to book can be a little confusing. That’s why at Box Aesthetic we offer a ‘Help Me Decide’ booking option for both skin and cosmetic treatments. So, if you’re ever not sure what option to choose when making a booking, book a ‘Help Me Decide’ appointment and we’ll take the hard work out of it for you.
