Dermal Filler
Augment and volumise the soft tissues.
Service Description
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are collagen or synthetically made materials used for injection into the dermis to augment and volumize the soft tissues. They are classified on the duration of action or by their composition. For aesthetics, we use products that contain Hyaluronic acid (HA). Due to their predictable results, excellent biocompatibility, and easy reversibility, HA fillers are considered the safest and most reliable dermal fillers in the British cosmetic industry.
What areas can be treated?
Generally, any area of the face that has lost volume over time or requires enhancement can be treated. Most common areas include:
Face
Lips
Under eyes
How long until the results show?
The results are instantaneous, and there could be up to a 25% reduction in size in certain areas, such as the lips, once the swelling settles.
How long do the results last?
This depends on which areas are treated and what products are used. Lip augmentations last on average six months, whereas cheek enhancements can last up to 24 months.
Side effects
The common side effects include bruising and swelling, which generally resolves within a couple of days with good post-operative care.

FAQs
Dermal Fillers are injectable substances used to add volume, plumpness, and smoothness to the skin. They are commonly used to fill in wrinkles, fine lines, and hollow areas of the face, as well as to enhance facial contours and restore lost volume.
Dermal Fillers can be made from various substances, including hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most popular and commonly used, as they are naturally occurring substances found in the body and are well-tolerated by most individuals.
Dermal Fillers work by restoring volume and structure to the skin. When injected into the targeted area, the filler adds volume and stimulates collagen production, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin. The effects of dermal fillers are immediate and can last anywhere from several months to a year or more, depending on the type of filler used and the individual's metabolism.
Dermal Fillers can be used to treat various areas of the face, including the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and under-eye hollows. They can also be used to enhance facial features, such as adding definition to the lips or cheekbones, and to rejuvenate the hands and other parts of the body.
