Frequently Asked Questions
Want to know more about our Volume Concern treatments?
Can I have wrinkle concern or volume concern when breast feeding or pregnant?
There is no clinical evidence suggesting that having wrinkle concern or volume concern is unsafe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, but it is sensible and professional practice to not have this treatment as a precaution.
Is there downtime for volume concern treatments?
Recovery time varies for each patient and for different types of filler. You can resume most activities right away, but it is recommended that you avoid physical activity for the first 24 – 48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising. It is also recommended to avoid alcohol and blood thinning medication for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Bruising, redness, swelling and tenderness can be normal side effects of volume concern, so if you have a special occasion coming up we recommend having treatments 2 weeks prior to the event to let your areas of treatment completely heal.
How long will my volume concern last?
The longevity of each filler is different, however, all product used at Coastal Cosmetic Clinic will last anywhere between 9 – 12 months. If you have a fast metabolism or exercise heavily the longevity of volume concern may differ.

Wrinkle Concern treatments?
How long does wrinkle concern take to start working?
Wrinkle concern injections can start to have effect between 1 and 7 days. At 14 days your results will have reached their full potential and is when your post-treatment photos would effectively be taken.
Is there downtime for wrinkle concern treatments?
No physical appearance down-time but we ask that you avoid laying down for 4 hours, avoid touching the area and avoid heat for 24 hours post-treatment. At each injection point there is a chance of little lumps (mosquito bite size) which will dissapear within in a couple of hours.
How long will my wrinkle concern treatment last?
It’s definitely recommended you keep on top of your treatments, if you see movement starting to reappear book in for a touch-up. Anti-wrinkle treatments are proven to last longer if you maintain and keep on top of treatments. We explain it like this – if you stop using your muscles, they won’t grow and once you start using them again, they will grow. The same principle applies to wrinkle concern injections, we are stopping the muscle from working so if it doesn’t have the chance to start working again then it won’t grow. No muscle movement = no static lines.
