Dermal fillers are one of the most popular non-surgical facial aesthetic treatments available today. Designed to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance natural facial contours, dermal fillers offer subtle yet effective results with minimal downtime. If you’re looking for a refreshed, youthful appearance without surgery, dermal fillers may be the ideal solution.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid plays a key role in maintaining skin hydration, elasticity, and volume. As we age, our natural levels of hyaluronic acid decrease, leading to volume loss, fine lines, wrinkles, and changes in facial shape.
Dermal fillers work by replenishing this lost volume, helping to smooth wrinkles, enhance facial features, and restore a more youthful appearance while still looking natural.
What Areas Can Dermal Fillers Treat?
Dermal fillers are highly versatile and can be used to treat a variety of areas, including:
- Cheeks – to restore volume and lift
- Lips – to enhance shape, definition, and fullness
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
- Jawline and chin – for improved definition and balance
- Under-eye hollows (in suitable candidates)
Your practitioner will assess your facial structure and discuss your goals to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to you.
How Does Dermal Filler Treatment Work?
The dermal filler treatment process typically involves the following steps:
Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed facial aesthetics consultation. During this appointment, your practitioner will discuss your concerns, aesthetic goals, medical history, and expectations to ensure the treatment is safe and suitable for you.
Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. Many dermal fillers also contain a local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort.
Injection
Using fine needles or cannulas, the dermal filler is carefully injected into targeted areas. The treatment typically takes between 20 and 45 minutes.
Results and Aftercare
Results are visible immediately, with further improvement as swelling settles over the following days. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur but usually resolves quickly. Aftercare guidance will be provided to ensure optimal results.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
Dermal fillers typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the area treated, the product used, and individual metabolism. Maintenance treatments can help prolong results.
