Cosmetic injectable treatments
Cosmetic injectables are non-surgical treatments that relax facial muscles or restore volume beneath the skin. At Happy Dentistry, our registered nurse uses a detailed understanding of facial anatomy to plan treatment carefully and explain what each option can and cannot do. We talk through the process, the likely recovery and the alternatives before anything is booked.
Cost and health funds
The cost depends on the treatment that suits you and the areas treated. You receive a quote at your consultation, before anything is booked.
Whether your extras cover pays anything towards it depends on your fund and your level of cover.
We offer HICAPS on-the-spot claiming, so if you have private health extras cover you can claim at the practice on the day.

How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
Anti-wrinkle injections relax specific facial muscles, which softens lines caused by expression, such as forehead lines, frown lines and lines around the eyes.
How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal fillers add volume beneath the skin, smoothing lines and adding volume to features such as the lips, cheeks and jawline.
Are cosmetic injectables safe, and what are the risks?
When carried out by a properly trained practitioner in a clean clinical setting, injectables are generally safe. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling or bruising. More serious risks are uncommon but can include infection or vascular problems. Our team has training in facial anatomy and will go through the risks with you before any treatment.

You may feel a small pinch during the injection. We use fine needles and can apply a numbing cream to keep you comfortable during treatment.
