Our clinician will take you through a full consultation to understand what look you hope to achieve from the treatment, and which product would work best for you. At this point she will suggest how much product you are likely to need.

If you are both happy to go ahead with treatment, you will take a seat in the reclining treatment chair and the fillers will be injected into the agreed upon areas with an ultra-thin needle.

Most commonly, fillers are primarily made of hyaluronic acid in a smooth gel. We use premium brands such as JUVEDERM®, which has different ranges to be used in different parts of the face. Most of the fillers also have a local anaesthetic mixed in with them to make the treatment more comfortable, although we always use numbing cream alongside this.

They can be used to treat a range of skin concerns such as lack of volume and shallow to deep wrinkles and folds such as smile, marionette and lipstick lines and those at the corner of the mouth, chin and neck. They can also be used to plump up areas such as to create lush and full lips and fill out sunken cheeks.

Yes, they are very safe if administered by a fully trained and certified professional, such as our clinician. As with all treatments, there can be side effects. The most common include bruising, redness, swelling, pain or itching.

Yes, if you change your mind or the effect isn’t what you were wanting/expecting, dermal fillers can be dissolved by an injection of an enzyme called hyaluronidase.

The benefits will be immediate, although you may experience some swelling at first. The effects should settle down within a week or two.

Depending on the type of product used and the area treated, the effects can last from 6-18 months.

Dermal fillers are administered with minimal discomfort due to the needle being ultra-fine. We are also one of the few clinics who routinely use dermal fillers containing a local anaesthetic to further reduce any discomfort.

During the procedure you may experience a slight stinging sensation, but this usually subsides almost instantly. After the procedure there may be some slight swelling which is rarely noticeable and reduces within 24 hours. The great thing about dermal fillers is that there is minimal downtime and you can return to your usual activities straight away.

The treatment usually takes 30-45 mins, depending on the area being treated.
