Dermal Fillers

Non-surgical injectable treatments that restore volume, enhance facial contours, and soften lines to create a refreshed, natural-looking appearance.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable products used to restore or create volume and to soften lines and contours of the face. They are placed beneath the skin using a variety of techniques, depending on the treatment area and desired result, with the aim of achieving a refreshed, youthful, or enhanced appearance.

Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar molecule found in the body. Hyaluronic acid attracts and binds water within the skin, helping to improve hydration, structure, and volume.

Why choose dermal fillers?

Achieve natural, subtle, confidence-boosting results

What happens during treatment?

Dermal filler treatments typically take 20–45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. During your consultation, we will discuss your concerns and goals, and I will assess your facial structure to create a personalised treatment plan.

The injection sites will be carefully selected to achieve natural and balanced results. A topical anaesthetic is applied prior to treatment to minimise discomfort. The filler is then administered using a series of small injections. You may feel some initial pressure or sensation, but the treatment is generally well tolerated, as most fillers contain lidocaine for added comfort.

Following treatment, the areas may be gently massaged. Unless specifically advised, you should not massage the treated areas yourself. You can return to normal daily activities immediately after your appointment.

Areas which can be treated include:

Dermal filler in the lips can be used to:

  • Create or enhance definition in the Cupid’s bow or lip boarders
  • Add hydration
  • Create volume
  • Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the lips
  • Correct any asymmetry
  • Balance the side profile
  • Balance the upper and lower lip ratio

Both dermal filler, and anti wrinkle treatment can be of value to improve the appearance of “smokers lines”.

Often both approaches together can have the biggest impact.
These lines are created by repetitive movement of the lips, therefore reducing this movement, and adding strength and structure to the area will make a big improvement, and prevent the lines from becoming deeper.

Carefully and strategically placing filler in the mid face can have many benefits:

  1. It can improve the appearance of the undereye,
  2. Provide a “lifting” effect to the lower face,
  3. Reduce the appearance of the nasolabial folds,
  4. Add some flattering contour and structure to the cheeks and cheek bones.

This can be very subtle, but make a wonderful difference.

Hollowing or creasing beneath the eyes, where the under-eye meets the upper cheek, can be softened with specialist dermal filler. This treatment is suitable for those who feel their eyes appear tired or dark due to volume loss.

For general eye rejuvenation, BeautifEYE treatment or polynucleotides may be suitable alternatives and can be discussed during consultation.

These are lines that appear around the corner of the mouth, and radiate towards the chin. A very common and natural sign of ageing, and often people dislike them, as they feel that it makes them look sad. 

Dermal filler can be used to support and revolumise the area.

The lines that run each side from the corners of the nose to the sides of the mouth.

There can be many reasons why these lines become more obvious, and they can be associated with an aged appearance.
Dermal filler can be placed directly in the area to soften them, or most commonly treatment of the cheeks is also required to address the cause of the fold, (volume loss in this area)

Treating the chin with dermal filler can have many benefits:

  • Tighten the appearance of the jawline
  • Improve the side profile if a weak chin is a concern
  • Subtly remodel the shape
  • Harmonise the ratio of the face
  • Smooth dimpling or mask a cleft chin

Jawline filler can add structure and definition to the lower face.

It may be used to mask the appearance of jowls, sharpen the side profile, and create a more contoured or slimmer facial appearance.

Dermal filler can be carefully placed to straighten the appearance of the nose or create the illusion of a smaller, more balanced shape. 

It can also be used to build subtle structure in a small or under-defined nose.

With ageing, the temples can lose volume, leading to a hollowed appearance. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be used to restore volume in this area, helping to rejuvenate the temples and support the brow region for a more youthful look.
