Dermal fillers are a safe way to restore volume and vitality to your face with an extremely popular and versatile anti-ageing treatment.
Find out moreDermal fillers are designed to be used on the lines that are visible when the facial muscles aren’t moving – known as static lines – for a subtle lift and a fresher look. They work by using hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the human body. Hyaluronic acid naturally depletes with age, which is one of the reasons why older people tend to lose volume in their cheeks and their skin develops lines and wrinkles.
Dermal fillers are a safe way of putting hyaluronic acid back into the skin to add volume, softening existing lines and preventing new ones from developing. As hyaluronic acid occurs naturally, dermal fillers are unlikely to cause an allergic reaction, although we will always check your medical history during the initial consultation.
Book an appointmentWe always carry out an initial full consultation with one of our experienced clinicians, ensuring you completely understand the treatment and to gain your consent. We will also check your medical history, take photographs and discuss both the procedure and your expectations for your results.
We ensure you are relaxed and happy to proceed before injecting the filler into the planned area using a fine needle. The treatment takes around 20 minutes to complete.
Some effects from the dermal filler are visible immediately, with your full outcome able to be seen a few days after treatment. The results last around 6-12 months, depending on your individual skin, before needing to be topped up.

Dermal fillers can be used in the lips, cheeks, nose and chin. We can also use them to enhance the appearance of nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
Yes, when carried out by a fully trained medical professional, dermal fillers are very safe. We have a comprehensive consultation before treatment, ensuring you are aware of the procedure and have the chance to ask any questions.
