Thinking about dermal filler but not sure what happens on the day? This guide walks you through a first appointment at The Aesthetic Surgery in Langley Park, Durham.

1. Consultation first

We start by talking through your goals, medical history and what is realistic for your face. If filler is not the right option, we will say so and suggest alternatives.

2. Your treatment plan and price

You will know exactly what is planned and what it costs before anything begins. Dermal filler at our clinic starts from £135.

3. The treatment itself

Most appointments take under an hour. We use products containing local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable, and take before photos for your clinical record.

4. Straight after

  • Some swelling, redness or bruising is common and settles over the following days
  • Avoid make-up, heavy exercise, saunas and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours
  • You will receive written aftercare and our contact details

5. Your review

We see you again to check how the filler has settled and make sure you are happy with your result.
