Dermal Fillers
Facial filler and lip filler treatments are quick, minimally invasive and have very little downtime. The results are visible immediately after treatment and will generally last for around six months.
When the first lines start to appear on the face it can be a stressful time for many women and increasingly more commonly now, men.
Dermal Fillers can be used to increase the volume and definition of the lips and cheeks and other areas of the face. They contain hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring substance within the body which is found in the deep layers of the skin, and one of its functions is to keep skin smooth and healthy by helping it retain water.

How do Dermal Fillers work?As time goes on, our bodies produce lower amounts of the proteins which give us a youthful look – namely elastin and collagen. Dermal fillers work to smooth the deep lines in the face which appear as wrinkles. This injectable treatment is able to add volume which has been lost in these areas since elastin and collagen production has dropped. In this way, dermal fillers are able to enhance the appearance of the face, adding ‘lift’.
-
Who is suitable for Dermal Fillers?There is a level of debate on the age at which collagen and elastin production begins to decrease, but it is accepted that this is around 25. From then on, we can expect a steady decline of elastin and collagen. The production of these proteins stops altogether by the time we reach our late twenties. For this reason, dermal fillers may be considered as a cosmetic treatment by anyone in their late twenties or older. Other possible good candidates for dermal fillers include non-smokers, those who are in good physical condition, and individuals who habitually take good care of their skin.
-
Is the procedure painful?Carried out by a skilled practitioner , the injections required for dermal fillers should not hurt the patient. The injection itself contains a local anaesthetic, which numbs the injection site and can negate pain during and after the procedure.
-
Are Dermal Fillers safe?Dermal fillers are recognised as a minimally invasive, safe procedure. Because the hyaluronic acid which is used in the treatment is naturally occurring in the body, there is no recognised risk of an allergic reaction.
-
How long will it take to see results?After the treatment, you can expect to see results immediately. Over a two to a four-week period following the procedure, results will gradually become even more apparent.
-
How long do Dermal Fillers last?The amount of time which the results last will vary from person to person, but this is usually between six and 18 months.
-
Are there any special steps for aftercare?People can resume normal activities immediately after the dermal fillers treatment. Makeup can be applied in order to mask any kind of redness which has been experienced as a result of the injection. It is usually recommended that patients avoid very cold weather or extreme heat for a period of a fortnight after the treatment.
