What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are advanced injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance natural facial contours. Made from hyaluronic acid (HA) or collagen-stimulating substances, dermal fillers deliver subtle, natural-looking results with minimal downtime. They are one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for facial rejuvenation.

Dermal Filler FAQs

Results typically last 6 to 18 months, depending on the area treated and the type of filler used. This will vary also from person to person, depending on lifestyle and other outside factors.
​
3. Are dermal fillers safe?
Yes—when administered by a qualified practitioner. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as swelling or bruising.

Results are visible immediately, with full settling typically within 1–2 weeks, but for some takes up to 4 weeks for full result.
​

Anyone looking to restore volume, smooth lines, or enhance facial contours may benefit. A consultation to assess suitability will take place at a pre consultation appointment or before treatment takes place on the day of your appointment.
​
9. Are the results natural-looking?
Yes. When performed by a skilled injector, dermal fillers enhance your natural features without appearing overdone.
Aftercare Guidance
Your dermal filler will soften, refine, and settle over the following 1–4 weeks. To enhance your results:
​
Immediately After Treatment
• Avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated areas.
• A slight cooling compress may be used for comfort and to ease swelling.
• Keep your water intake generous to support the filler’s hydration.
​
Within the First 48 Hours
• Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths.
• Refrain from alcohol.
• Avoid makeup for the first 12 hours to protect the skin.
• Sleep with your head slightly elevated for added comfort.
​
Over the Next 2 Weeks
• Allow the filler to settle naturally into the tissues.
• Avoid massage, facials, or dental treatments during this period.
• Minor asymmetry or subtle swelling is normal as the product integrates.
