Dermal filler
Replenish volume & enhance contours,
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for a more youthful appearance. They offer flexibility, as the effects can be easily adjusted or reversed, unlike surgical implants, providing a non-permanent solution tailored to each individual’s needs.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, these clinically approved treatments provide immediate, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
As we age, our skin loses elasticity and volume due to decreased collagen and hyaluronic acid production. Dermal fillers replenish this lost volume, creating a more youthful, refreshed appearance while maintaining your unique facial characteristics.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Immediate Results See noticeable improvements right after treatment, with full results visible within 1-2 weeks as any swelling subsides.
Natural Appearance Enhance your features while maintaining your natural look. Modern fillers provide subtle, balanced results that don't look overdone.Minimal Downtime Most patients return to normal activities immediately, with only minor temporary swelling or redness at injection sites.
Long-Lasting Depending on the product used and treatment area, results typically last 6-18 months, making it a cost-effective solution.
Reversible Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if needed, providing peace of mind and flexibility with your treatment.
Customisable Treatments are tailored to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals for personalized, beautiful results

What to Expect
1. Consultation We'll discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your facial structure, and create a customised treatment plan tailored to your needs. This is your opportunity to ask questions and ensure you feel comfortable and informed.
2. Preparation The treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for your comfort. We'll mark strategic injection points to ensure precise placement.
3. Treatment Using fine needles or cannulas, the filler is carefully injected into predetermined areas. The procedure typically takes 15-45 minutes depending on the treatment areas. Most fillers contain lidocaine for added comfort.
4. Aftercare You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions. Minor swelling or bruising is normal and typically resolves within a few days. We'll schedule a follow-up to assess your results and determine if any touch-ups are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are dermal fillers safe? Yes, when administered by trained professionals. We use only CE-marked, clinically approved products that have been extensively tested for safety and efficacy. Hyaluronic acid fillers are biocompatible and naturally break down in the body over time.
Does the treatment hurt? Most patients experience minimal discomfort. We use topical numbing cream, and most modern fillers contain lidocaine anaesthetic. You may feel slight pressure or pinching during injection, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
How long do results last? Results vary based on the product used, treatment area, and individual metabolism. Typically, fillers last 6-18 months. Areas with more movement (like lips) may metabolise filler faster than static areas (like cheeks).
When will I see results? You'll see immediate improvement, though some swelling is normal. Final results are typically visible within 1-2 weeks once any initial swelling has completely subsided and the filler has settled into place.
What's the difference between fillers and Botox? Botox relaxes muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (like crow's feet and forehead lines), while fillers add volume and fill static wrinkles or enhance facial contours. They're often used together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Is there any downtime? Most patients resume normal activities immediately. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites for a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours and following all aftercare instructions.
Am I a good candidate? Most healthy adults seeking to address volume loss, wrinkles, or facial contouring are good candidates. During your consultation, we'll review your medical history and discuss whether dermal fillers are right for you.
