Dermal fillers are a soft injectable gel based on hyaluronic acid, which closely resembles the very same substance our body naturally creates. It is therefore tissue friendly and very safe. By boosting the skins natural supply of hyaluronic acid, the filler can add volume to smooth out lines and wrinkles and create definition where you need it most.
Dermal fillers should only ever be administered by a doctors and trained medical professionals. Whilst very safe in the right hands, they can be dangerous if administered incorrectly.
There are many benefits to using dermal fillers as part of your treatment plan, including:
- Long lasting results, usually only needing top up treatments every 6-9 months.
- Results are immediate and require no downtime. You can be back at work the same day.
- Dermal fillers are known to stimulate your bodies natural production of hyaluronic acid and collagen, which creates a youthful glow.
- Procedures such as a non-surgical rhinoplasty or Brazilian bum lift carry far less risks and downtime than invasive surgical options.
Before the procedure your practitioner will evaluate and cleanse the areas for treatment. They may make small marks on your face to highlight the most appropriate places for the injections.
During the procedure itself it will only take a few moments to treat each area. Generally, patients report no pain during the treatment, however should you require it there are various anaesthetics available to be applied ahead of the procedure. It’s best to bring this up at the consultation if you think you may need it!
In all, the treatment should take between 15 and 90 minutes depending on the areas.
In preparation for dermal filler injections, you must:
- Inform the doctor of any medication you are on during the consultation phase, as you may need to stop some or all of it a week before your procedure.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least 48 hours before the treatment.
- Cleanse your skin before heading to your appointment using a gentle cleanser and water, and avoid wearing makeup for as long as possible before the procedure.
If in doubt, call us ahead of your procedure or check the FAQ’s on this page. Try to be fully transparent at your consultation so that your doctor can create the best possible treatment plan for you.
You should avoid exercise, saunas, hot tubs, sunbeds, hot showers or lying down for at least 3 to 4 hours and avoid facial or head massages for a full 24 hours.
Aside from the above, you should be good to go about your daily activities straight after the procedure with no down time.
You should also avoid rubbing or other pressure on the treatment areas.
Our doctors will provide full aftercare instructions as part of your treatment, but if you have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Lip Fillers
Lip fillers can add volume for a fuller lip or replace any that has been lost over time for a more youthful look. Results can be seen immediately once any swelling has reduced, and usually last for up to 6 months before you need a top up.
Other types of lip augmentation are available, including fat transfer or even implants, but they are becoming less common due to the advances in dermal fillers and the greater risks and side effects associated with surgical options.
CHEEK fillers
Having cheek fillers can add volume that has been lost over time, create greater definition in your face and leave your complexion appearing smoother and more youthful.
You are able to achieve a more symmetrical look in order to emphasise and increase your natural beauty.
non-surgical rhinoplasty
The non-surgical “nose job” can reshape precise points of your nose to achieve your desired look. In addition to being far more cost-effective, the risks associated with non-surgical rhinoplasty are far lower than the invasive, surgical option as well as requiring little-to-no downtime instead of weeks in bandages.
MARIONETTE & NASOLABIAL LINES
Marionette lines are those fine (or not so fine) lines that run from the corner of your mouth to your chin, whilst nasolabial lines are the similar ones that run from the corner of your nose to your mouth. Both of these problem areas worsen over time, creating a deep wrinkle. Dermal fillers in these areas can add volume to smooth out those wrinkles and give you a more youthful, fresh look.
jaw & chin fillerS
Over time, the jaw and chin can begin to appear soft, with baggy skin and loss of volume that increases the signs of ageing. However, dermal fillers can help replace this lost volume to lessen those signs and add definition, contour and symmetry to your jaw and chin.
tear trough fillers
The tear trough is another problem area. Dark circles? No problem. Dermal fillers can be used to combat the signs of ageing produced by dark circles by replacing volume that has been lost over time. The result is a more youthful look that emphasises your natural beauty.

What are the side effects of dermal fillers?
Some patients report redness, swelling or bruising at the injection site, which is usually totally normal, nothing to be concerned with and should clear up in a week or two. However, when administered by a trained medical professional, dermal fillers are generally regarded as a very safe procedure with minimal side effects.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF DERMAL FILLERS?
One of the biggest risk factors when undergoing dermal filler injections is the practioner. You must only ever see a trained doctor to administer this procedure.
