Dermal fillers

About this treatment

Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical treatment designed to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance natural facial contours. Made from hyaluronic acid or similar substances that occur naturally in the body, fillers are carefully injected beneath the skin to plump and rejuvenate areas such as the cheeks, lips, jawline, and under-eye hollows. The results are immediate, subtle, and tailored to each individual, creating a fresher, more youthful appearance without the need for surgery or significant downtime. Treatment is quick, typically taking less than an hour, and the effects can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months depending on the product used and the area treated. Dermal fillers not only restore balance and harmony to the face but also boost confidence, offering a natural enhancement that still looks like you—just refreshed.

Frequently asked questions

How is contouring treatment performed?

The doctor performs a series of small injections of filler, to fill out lines and any facial furrows. Pre-testing is not required.
The results can last from 3- 12 months for some fillers and upto 18 – 24 months of other fillers.

You may find that the injections are slightly uncomfortable, particularly around the nose or lips. For this reason topical anaesthetic gel is used, and sometimes an anaesthetic injection.

Immediately after the treatment, there may be a slight redness, swelling, tenderness and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection. The inconvenience is temporary and generally disappears in a day or two.
Most patients feel comfortable in resuming their normal activities following treatment. Temporary puffiness of the treated areas, however, should be expected.

All facial injections should be used with caution in people on immuno-suppressive therapy and in people with a history of allergic reactions. Be sure to tell your practitioner of any allergies you may have, and any medicines or treatment you are currently taking.

You must understand and appreciate the risk of bruising, which occasionally can be unpredictable. Although this bruising is only temporary, it needs to be considered and make up concealment many be needed. If you are using aspirin, or any similar medication, be aware that these may increase the bruising and bleeding at the injection site. If needed you should use Paracetamol for pain relief.

No. Injectable filler treatments are not meant for people who have excess facial skin, or for those who want a major resurfacing of the skin.

No. Top up injections will be needed to maintain maximum correction. Because the fillers are so similar to your own skin they will be altered by the same ongoing mechanical forces that caused the original skin depressions.

The time between injections varies from person to person. The injected material will eventually be absorbed and broken down, and that is why you need ongoing treatment to maintain the look you want. If you choose not to continue treatment, any remaining material is simply absorbed by your body over time, and your skin gradually returns to its natural contours.

Most patients who choose to receive top ups for lines or furrows do so within 3 to 24 months of the original treatment. For scars, and deeper depressions the time between top ups may be longer. Top up injections will help you maintain your correction and can provide a long-term solution to skin contour problems.
