Can You Drink Coffee After Getting Lip Filler?

Lip fillers, also known as dermal fillers, have become increasingly popular as a minimally invasive option for those seeking to add volume or shape to their lips. At Dermaq Aesthetics, we often receive enquiries about the appropriate age for this cosmetic procedure. It is important to us that our clients and their guardians understand the regulatory landscape and age restrictions that exist in Australia.

Legally, in Australia, lip fillers can be administered to individuals under 18 years old with the consent of a parent or guardian. However, at Dermaq Aesthetics, and as is the practice with most medical professionals in the field, we have a policy of not providing these procedures to individuals under 18, regardless of parental consent.

This age limit has been set based on the best interests of our clients. The safety, health, and well-being of our clients are our foremost priorities. Research and clinical experience have shown that the facial structures continue to develop and change during the teenage years. Administering lip fillers during this critical development period can interfere with these natural changes, potentially leading to unintended consequences.

Moreover, ethical considerations also play a significant role in our decision-making process. The decision to alter one’s appearance with cosmetic procedures should ideally be made as an adult, when one can fully appreciate and understand the implications, risks, and benefits of such a decision.

Though the legal threshold in Australia allows for lip filler procedures for those under 18 with guardian consent, it is important to note that there is increasing regulatory pressure in this area. This growing scrutiny is making it harder for clinics to offer lip fillers to minors, even with parental consent, due to the perceived ethical and safety concerns. This shift in the regulatory climate is a reflection of the profession’s commitment to ensuring client safety and promoting ethical practices in the field of aesthetic medicine.

At Dermaq Aesthetics, we are dedicated to providing the best possible care for our clients. This includes not only ensuring that our procedures are safe and effective but also ensuring that our clients are making informed decisions. We believe in providing comprehensive information about our treatments, including the appropriate age for these procedures, to empower our clients to make choices that are in their best interest.

While we understand the appeal of lip fillers for those wanting to enhance their natural features, we also believe it’s crucial to wait until the appropriate age to ensure the best possible outcome. We are here to guide you through this process when the time is right.

If you are 18 or over and considering lip fillers, we invite you to schedule a consultation with us at Dermaq Aesthetics. Our skilled practitioners will take the time to understand your aesthetic goals, answer all your questions, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs and desires.
