Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial features. Over time, our skin naturally loses collagen, elastin, and fat, which can result in wrinkles, folds, and a loss of youthful contours. Fillers work by replenishing this lost volume, helping to refresh and rejuvenate your appearance in a natural-looking way.

The goal of dermal fillers is not to change your appearance, but to enhance your natural features and restore a refreshed, confident look.

FAQs

What Are Dermal Fillers Made Of?

Most modern fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that naturally occurs in the skin and helps to keep it hydrated and plump. Because HA is biocompatible, it is safely absorbed by the body over time.

What Are The Common Treatment Areas?

Dermal fillers can be used in several areas of the face, including:

  • Lips – to add volume or definition

  • Cheeks – to restore youthful contour and lift

  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines) – to soften deep creases

  • Marionette lines – to reduce shadows around the mouth

  • Under-eye hollows – to improve tired-looking eyes

  • Jawline and chin – to enhance definition

What Can You Expect During Treatment?

A consultation will always be carried out first to discuss your goals, medical history, and whether fillers are suitable for you.

  • The treatment itself usually takes 30–60 minutes.

  • A fine needle or cannula is used, and many fillers contain local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort.

  • Results are visible immediately, with little to no downtime—although mild swelling or bruising may occur and usually settles within a few days.

How long do results last?

Depending on the area treated and the product used, results typically last 6 to 18 months. Repeat treatments can help maintain your results.

What Is The Safety And Aftercare?

When administered by trained professionals, dermal fillers are considered a safe treatment. As with any medical procedure, there are potential side effects, which will be explained to you during your consultation. After treatment, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat (such as saunas), and alcohol for 24 hours to minimise swelling or bruising.
