What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are advanced, non-surgical aesthetic treatments that use injectable gels to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance your natural facial features. Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a molecule naturally present in the skin that attracts water, keeping it plump and hydrated.

Unlike plastic surgery, dermal fillers provide instant results with minimal downtime, making them a popular choice for anyone looking to refresh their appearance or subtly enhance specific facial features.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, fat, and elasticity, leading to sagging, hollowness, and deeper lines. Dermal fillers gently replace this lost volume, lifting and supporting the skin from beneath.

Once injected, hyaluronic acid fillers attract and retain moisture, instantly hydrating the skin and giving it a smoother, more youthful appearance. Some fillers can also stimulate your body’s own collagen production, leading to gradual improvements over time.

Why choose Dermal Fillers?

  • You’ll see a difference as soon as you leave the clinic.
  • Every treatment is tailored to your unique facial structure and personal goals.
  • When performed by a skilled professional, fillers enhance rather than alter your features.
  • No general anesthetic or lengthy recovery is required.
  • Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if desired.

Which Areas Can Be Treated with Dermal Fillers?

  • Lips: Add soft, natural-looking volume, define borders, or create a fuller pout.
  • Cheeks: Restore youthful contour, lift the mid-face, and combat hollow or sunken cheeks.
  • Chin: Enhance projection and shape for improved facial balance and harmony.
  • Jawline: Achieve a sharper, more sculpted jaw for a confident profile.
  • Nasolabial Folds: Soften the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth (often called smile or laughter lines).
  • Marionette Lines: Lift the lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin.
  • Tear Troughs: Minimise dark circles, hollowness, and tired-looking eyes with under-eye fillers.
  • Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: Refine the nose shape, straighten bridges, or lift tips without surgery.
  • Other Areas: Temples, earlobes, hands, and even scars can benefit from specialist filler treatments.

What Is the Treatment Process Like?

  1. Personal Consultation: On the day of treatment, we cleanse the area and apply a numbing cream for maximum comfort. Many fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, to make the procedure even gentler.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels—usually made from hyaluronic acid—used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial features such as the lips, cheeks, jawline, and more.

How long do dermal fillers last?

Results typically last from 6 to 18 months, depending on the area treated, your metabolism, and the type of filler used. Areas with more movement (like lips) tend to break down filler faster than less mobile areas (like cheeks).

Are dermal fillers safe?

Yes, when administered by a qualified and experienced professional, dermal fillers are considered very safe. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as redness, swelling, or slight bruising at the injection site.

Will I look fake or “overdone”?

Not at Dxy’s Clinic! Our approach is subtle and natural—we enhance your unique beauty, never overfill or alter your facial harmony.

How soon will I see results?

You’ll see results immediately after your treatment. Some swelling or minor bruising is normal and will subside within a few days, revealing your final result.

Is the procedure painful?

Most clients experience only mild discomfort. We use numbing cream and gentle techniques to ensure you are as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure.

Can fillers be dissolved or reversed?

Yes! If you are not satisfied or want to remove the filler for any reason, hyaluronic acid fillers can be safely dissolved with a special enzyme called hyaluronidase.

What should I do before my appointment?

Avoid alcohol, aspirin, or blood-thinning medications for 24–48 hours before your appointment, as these can increase the risk of bruising. Arrive with a clean face and no makeup.

What is the aftercare for dermal fillers?

  • Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
  • Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, or sunbeds for 24–48 hours.
  • Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling or bruising if needed.
  • Avoid makeup for several hours after treatment.

We’ll give you full aftercare instructions at your appointment.

Are there any risks or side effects?

Side effects are typically mild and short-lived: swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness. Rarely, more serious complications can occur. Your practitioner will discuss all risks and answer any questions before treatment.

Who should not get dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are not recommended for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have severe allergies, or certain skin conditions. We will always review your medical history to ensure the treatment is safe for you.

How do I choose the right amount or type of filler?

This is determined during your consultation based on your goals, facial anatomy, and our expert recommendation. Every treatment is bespoke to you.

Can I combine dermal fillers with other treatments?

Yes! Fillers can be combined with anti-wrinkle injections, skin boosters, and other treatments for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. We can create a personalised plan during your consultation.
