DERMAL FILLER TREATMENTS

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made primarily from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. They are commonly used to restore volume, enhance facial features and soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Treatment recommendations are tailored to the individual following a thorough consultation and assessment with our Nurse Prescriber.

Dermal fillers work by restoring volume beneath the skin, helping to enhance facial contours and soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Most dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally within the body and helps maintain hydration and volume within the skin.

When carefully injected into selected areas, dermal fillers can help restore lost volume, improve facial balance and enhance facial features. Results are usually visible immediately following treatment, although the final outcome is typically seen once any swelling has settled.

Following a thorough consultation and assessment, treatment recommendations are tailored to your individual anatomy, concerns and aesthetic goals.

Every dermal filler treatment begins with a thorough consultation and assessment to discuss your concerns, treatment goals and suitability for treatment. Following your consultation, a personalised treatment plan will be developed based on your individual needs and desired outcomes.

Before treatment, the area will be cleansed and prepared. Depending on the treatment area, a topical anaesthetic may be applied to help maximise comfort. Dermal fillers are then carefully administered using either a fine needle or cannula, depending on the treatment plan and area being treated.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. The procedure typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and complexity of the treatment.

Dermal filler treatments may be suitable for adults who wish to restore volume, enhance facial features or address concerns relating to facial contours and balance. Suitability for treatment varies between individuals and depends on factors such as facial anatomy, treatment goals, medical history and overall health.

Dermal filler treatments may not be suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions, allergies, medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding may affect whether treatment can be safely carried out.

A face-to-face consultation and assessment with our Nurse Prescriber is required before treatment. During your consultation, your medical history, suitability and aesthetic goals will be carefully reviewed to determine whether treatment is appropriate for your individual needs.

Results are usually visible immediately following treatment, although the initial appearance may be affected by temporary swelling. Final results are typically seen within 2 weeks as any swelling settles.

Following treatment, it is common to experience mild redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and generally resolve within a few days.

To support the best possible outcome, you may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, alcohol consumption and unnecessary pressure on the treated area for a short period following treatment. Individual aftercare advice will be provided during your appointment.

If you have any concerns following treatment or experience unexpected symptoms, please contact the clinic for advice and support.

The longevity of dermal filler results varies depending on the treatment area, the type of filler used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. In most cases, results typically last between 6 and 18 months before the filler is gradually broken down by the body.

Many patients choose to have maintenance treatments to help preserve their desired results. During your consultation and follow-up appointments, treatment recommendations will be tailored to your individual needs and aesthetic goals.

Dermal filler treatments are widely used and are generally considered safe when carried out by a suitably qualified medical professional following a thorough consultation and assessment.

As with any injectable treatment, there are potential risks and side effects. Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising at the treatment site. Less common side effects may include infection, allergic reaction, asymmetry, lumps or filler migration.

Rare complications can occur, including vascular occlusion, which requires prompt medical assessment and treatment. These risks, along with the potential benefits and alternatives to treatment, will be discussed fully during your consultation and consent process.

Patient safety is our highest priority, and every treatment is carried out following a thorough assessment to ensure suitability for your individual needs.

The cost of dermal filler treatment varies depending on the treatment area, the amount of product required and your individual treatment goals. As every patient is different, a face-to-face consultation and assessment will be carried out to discuss your concerns and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
