Dermal filler is not about changing your face or making every feature look the same. It is about carefully restoring volume, improving proportion and enhancing the features you already have.


As we age, natural changes in collagen, fat and bone structure can leave parts of the face looking flatter, less supported or more tired. Hyaluronic acid dermal filler can be placed precisely beneath the skin to restore structure, soften deeper folds or add carefully controlled definition. Every treatment begins with a proper assessment. If filler is not the right treatment for you, we will tell you.

What It Treats

Common concerns we treat

How It Works

Careful placement, balanced results

Most dermal fillers are made using hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally within the body that helps the skin retain moisture and volume. Small amounts are placed at carefully selected points to create support, restore volume or refine a feature.


The product, amount and placement depend on your anatomy and the result agreed during consultation. The aim is not to use as much filler as possible. It is to use the right amount, in the right place, for a result that looks balanced from every angle.

The Process

What to expect

1

Consultation

We discuss your concerns, examine your facial proportions and decide whether filler is the right option.

2

Treatment Plan

We agree the areas, recommended amount and realistic result before you decide whether to proceed.

3

Treatment

Filler is placed gradually and precisely. Most appointments take approximately 30-45 minutes.

4

Aftercare

You receive clear aftercare and ongoing support, with a review arranged when clinically required.

Pricing

£135 per ml

Every face and treatment plan is different. The amount of filler required will depend on your anatomy, the areas being treated and the result you would like to achieve.


Your consultation is used to create a personalised treatment plan and confirm exactly how much product is recommended. You will always receive a clear total price before deciding whether to proceed.

Is It Right For You?

A proper conversation

Dermal filler may be suitable for adults who want to restore lost volume, soften deeper facial folds or improve the balance of particular features. It is not suitable for anyone under 18 and will not be performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Treatment may also need to be postponed or avoided because of infection, certain medical conditions, allergies, medication or previous complications.

Risks & Safety

Informed decisions matter

Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, itching, firmness and asymmetry can occur following treatment. Less common but potentially serious complications include infection, nodules, tissue damage and vascular occlusion, where filler affects the blood supply to the skin. Visual disturbance and blindness are rare but recognised risks.


We explain the risks, warning signs, aftercare and emergency contact procedure before you decide whether to proceed. Urgent symptoms must be reported immediately rather than waiting for a routine review.

Questions

FAQ

The aim is a balanced result that suits your existing features. We work conservatively and will not recommend more product simply because more can be added.

That depends on your anatomy, the area being treated and the result you want. Dermal filler is priced at £135 per ml, but we only recommend the amount we believe is appropriate. Your complete treatment plan and total cost are confirmed during consultation.

You may feel pressure, pinching or brief discomfort. Many fillers contain local anaesthetic, and additional comfort measures can be discussed during your appointment.

You will usually see an immediate change, but swelling can temporarily affect the result. The treated area may take approximately two to four weeks to settle fully.

Results commonly last around six to eighteen months, depending on the product, treatment area, amount used and your individual metabolism.
