Dermal fillers are used to enhance and improve ones’ face to the desired outcome and minimize the signs of aging. Dermal fillers act to contour and shape the face, restore volume that has been lost, and give you the symmetry you’ve always wanted.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin that helps to retain moisture and give the skin a smooth, hydrated appearance, while adding volume. As we age, the amount of naturally occurring HA found within the body lessens. This reduced the body’s ability to retain moisture and leads to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
As we age, the amount of HA within the skin decreases causing the skin to lose volume and develop fine lines and wrinkles. By injecting HA dermal fillers into the skin, you can restore volume loss for a more youthful appearance. Most dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid-based, soft injectable gels that are used to replenish and refresh your appearance.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in your body, which combines with the water in your skin to instantly restore lost volume and reduce lines and wrinkles. It is non-animal based, highly biocompatible, is absorbed slowly by the body and has been shown to stimulate natural collagen production. Best of all, the results are instant and natural-looking.
Dermal fillers work by injecting a gel-like substance into the skin to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Here’s how they work:
- Injection Process: The procedure typically involves a healthcare professional injecting the dermal filler directly into the targeted areas of the face using a fine needle or cannula.
- Volume Enhancement: The filler gel contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid, which work to add volume to the skin. Hyaluronic acid, for example, attracts and retains moisture, providing an immediate plumping effect.
- Stimulating Collagen Production: Some fillers also stimulate collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a protein that provides structural support to the skin, helping to maintain its firmness and elasticity. By promoting collagen production, dermal fillers can contribute to longer-lasting results and overall skin rejuvenation.
- Smoothing Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Dermal fillers can smooth out wrinkles and fine lines by filling in the space beneath the skin, effectively “pushing out” the wrinkle from below. This creates a smoother surface and reduces the appearance of lines.
- Enhancing Facial Contours: Fillers can also be used to enhance facial contours by adding volume to specific areas, such as the cheeks, chin, or lips. This can help create a more defined and sculpted appearance.
- Results and Duration: The results of dermal fillers are typically visible immediately after treatment, although there may be some initial swelling or redness. Depending on the type of filler used and individual factors, the results can last from several months to over a year.
Overall, dermal fillers provide a non-surgical solution for enhancing facial features, restoring volume, and rejuvenating the skin’s appearance.
Dermal fillers can be used to treat various areas of the face, including:
- Nasolabial Folds: These are the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, often referred to as “smile lines.”
- Marionette Lines: These are the lines that extend from the corners of the mouth downward towards the chin, sometimes giving a “puppet-like” appearance.
- Lips: Fillers can be used to enhance lip volume, define the lip border, and reduce the appearance of fine lines around the mouth.
- Cheeks: Dermal fillers can add volume to the cheeks, providing a more youthful and lifted appearance.
- Under-Eye Area: Fillers can help diminish hollows or dark circles under the eyes, providing a refreshed and rejuvenated look.
- Chin: Fillers can be used to add definition and projection to the chin, improving overall facial balance.
- Jawline: Fillers can enhance the jawline by adding volume and definition, creating a more sculpted appearance.
- Temples: Dermal fillers can be used to add volume to hollow temples, restoring a more youthful contour to the upper face.
Dermal fillers can address various concerns related to facial aging and appearance, including:
- Volume Loss: Fillers can replenish lost volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and lips, restoring a more youthful fullness to the face.
- Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Dermal fillers can smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, particularly those around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, helping to soften their appearance.
- Facial Contouring: Fillers can enhance facial contours by adding definition to areas such as the cheeks, chin, and jawline, creating a more sculpted and balanced appearance.
- Lip Enhancement: Fillers can augment lip volume, define the lip border, and reduce the appearance of vertical lip lines, resulting in fuller, more shapely lips.
- Under-Eye Hollows: Fillers can diminish hollows or dark circles under the eyes, providing a refreshed and rejuvenated look.
- Scarring: Fillers can help improve the appearance of certain types of scars, such as acne scars or depressed scars, by filling in the indentation and smoothing the skin’s surface.
- Sunken Temples: Fillers can add volume to hollow temples, restoring a more youthful contour to the upper face.
- Jawline Definition: Fillers can enhance the jawline by adding volume and definition, creating a more sculpted and angular appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dermal fillers are substance/gels injected beneath the skin’s surface to smooth wrinkles and add volume and contour. The products are composed of stabilized hyaluronic acid (HA) which occurs naturally in the cells of the skin, drawing in water to reduce the wrinkled area.
Yes. Dermal fillers are very safe and have been used for over a decade. We use only products with proven safety record. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance which occurs naturally in the cells of the skin, thus there is no risk of allergic reactions.
Dermal fillers target areas of the face which lose volume and contour as we age (i.e. cheeks, lips, chin and nose). Dermal fillers may be used to replace this volume loss and restore the structural support, giving the patient a more youthful appearance.
It is simple and straightforward, involving a few tiny injections directly into the skin, and takes between 15–30 minutes. Result can be seen immediately. Optimal results can be maintained over a long period of time through regular repeated treatments.
It can be painful if the procedure is carried out by an injector who is not properly trained. Typically, dermal filler procedures require no anesthetic as the dermal filler contains local anesthetic. The procedure will vary from person to person depending on your requirements and the severity of the wrinkles being treated.
Results are seen instantly after the treatment, although this gradually improves over the course of the following 2–4 weeks. Results can last between 9–18 months although optimal results can be maintained over a long period of time through regular repeated treatments.
Advanced injection techniques paired with the use of blunt needles means that significant side effects are extremely uncommon. These precautions mean less trauma to the skin and less chance of bruising.
After your treatment we will walk you through any after care advice in order to maximize your treatment benefits and avoid any undesirable side effects. You can resume normal activities, drive yourself home or return to work immediately after the treatment.
Cost depends on the type of dermal filler, the amount of dermal filler required and the areas of the face you wish to be treated (e.g. undereye hollow and cheeks). Contact us for more pricing information.
