What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume and soften deeper lines.

We use hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your body that helps maintain hydration and structure.

They can be used to:

  • Restore volume.
  • Refine facial contours.
  • Soften deeper lines.
  • Enhance areas such as lips or cheeks.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical way to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and achieve a fresher, more balanced appearance without invasive procedures.

Volume restoration

Dermal fillers help replace lost volume, restoring softer, fuller contours while maintaining a natural look.

Improved facial balance

Fillers can subtly refine areas such as the lips, cheeks, jawline, or chin to create better proportion and harmony across the face. 

Non-surgical treatment

No incisions, stitches, or general anaesthesia are required. The procedure is performed in a clinic using fine needles or cannulas, making it a convenient alternative to surgical options.

Minimal downtime

Most patients return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment. Mild swelling or bruising can occur, but this typically settles within a few days.

Reversible treatment

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be safely dissolved if adjustment is required, offering reassurance and flexibility.

Long-lasting effects

Results typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the treatment area and product used, before gradually breaking down naturally.

Am I suitable for dermal filler treatment?

You may be suitable for dermal filler treatment if you’re in good overall health, over the age of 18, and looking to address concerns such as volume loss, wrinkles, or facial asymmetry. However, it may not be suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have certain medical conditions, or have allergies to filler ingredients.

We’ll assess your suitability during your exam with our practitioners.

What type of dermal filler do you use?

We use hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers, a safe and versatile option widely recognised for its effectiveness. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture, add volume, and improve skin elasticity. These fillers provide natural-looking results, are reversible if needed, and are suitable for a variety of areas, including lips, cheeks, and fine lines. Their hydrating properties also enhance skin texture and appearance over time.

What areas can be treated with dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers can restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours in several areas, including:

Lips: Add volume, define the border, and soften fine lines.

Cheeks: Restore lost volume and create a natural lift.

Under-eyes (tear troughs): Reduce hollowness and dark circles.

Jawline: Improve definition and facial balance.

Chin: Enhance projection and profile harmony.

Temples: Replace age-related volume loss.

Nasolabial folds and marionette lines: Soften deeper lines around the nose and mouth.

Treatment areas are always assessed individually to ensure safe placement and natural-looking results.

How soon will I see results?

Results are visible immediately, with final results once swelling settles.

How long do dermal fillers last?

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area, the specific product used, and individual factors such as metabolism. Areas with more movement, like the lips, may see shorter-lasting results, while less mobile areas can retain effects longer. Regular touch-ups can help maintain the desired look.

Are dermal fillers painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during injection. Many modern fillers contain lidocaine to enhance comfort, and topical anaesthetics can further reduce pain.

How much do dermal fillers cost?

Dermal fillers start from £351, depending on:

  • The area being treated.
  • The amount of filler needed for successful treatment.

The exact cost will always be confirmed during your exam.

What should I avoid after dermal filler treatment?

Avoid intense exercise, excessive heat exposure, alcohol consumption, and blood-thinning medications for 24-48 hours post-treatment to minimise swelling and bruising.

Do dermal fillers have side effects?

Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as swelling or bruising. We’ll explain risks clearly during your exam.

Can I return to work the same day?

Most people return to work the same day.

If possible, you may prefer to work from home on the day of treatment and the following day, in case of mild swelling or redness.

If your job involves strenuous physical activity, it’s best to avoid heavy exertion for 24 – 48 hours. We’ll provide clear aftercare advice during your exam.

Can I combine dermal fillers with other treatments?

Yes, fillers often complement other aesthetic treatments, such as anti-wrinkle injections. Our practitioners can design a comprehensive treatment plan.

What’s the difference between dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections?

Dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections serve different purposes. Dermal fillers add volume, enhance facial contours, and smooth deep lines by injecting substances like hyaluronic acid.

On the other hand, anti-wrinkle injections (often referred to as Botox) relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles caused by expressions, such as crow’s feet or frown lines.

Both treatments can complement each other to achieve a more youthful appearance, and during your exam, our practitioners will assess which treatment or combination of treatments is right for you.
