Think of dermal fillers (sometimes called face fillers or lip fillers) as a quick afternoon pick-me-up for your face. In the time it takes to enjoy a coffee, we can nudge lost volume back into place and soften the creases that make you look more tired than you feel.
Dermal fillers are soft gels made largely of hyaluronic acid — the moisture-locking molecule your skin already produces. A few precise deposits under the surface behave like cushions, propping up folds and gently reshaping contours. Because your body recognises hyaluronic acid, results settle in smoothly and fade away gradually over six to eighteen months.
Smoothes smile lines and nose-to-mouth folds, lifting the skin so the crease softens without freezing your smile.
Lifts sunken cheeks, restoring gentle roundness along the cheekbone.
Defines lips without an obvious “done” look, with micro-doses perking up shape and hydration.
Sharpens jawline and chin for a balanced profile, sculpting cleaner angles.
Refreshes under-eye hollows that concealer can’t hide, reducing shadows and fatigue.
Add volume or refine borders — a millimetre makes the difference between flat and plush.
Replace the padding lost with age, bringing light back to the mid-face.
Sculpt cleaner angles, useful after weight loss or to offset jowls.
Ease deep folds while keeping expression mobile.
Soften tear-trough shadows that ordinary concealer struggles to hide.
We start with an open conversation about what bothers you and what doesn’t.
Photos and gentle facial mapping help decide where each drop of filler will work hardest.
A topical numbing cream keeps discomfort low. Injections take around twenty minutes.
Expect mild swelling for a day or two. Skip heavy exercise and alcohol that evening — we’ll check in a fortnight later.
Our medically trained clinicians combine clinical skill with an artist’s eye to deliver treatment. Our CQC-registered clinic sits in the heart of town and welcomes patients who choose to return year after year — their loyalty comes from our philosophy that subtle refinements always trump obvious alterations, so you look refreshed without looking “done.”
Most clients enjoy their refreshed look for six to eighteen months. Areas that move a lot, such as the lips, tend to fade sooner than the cheeks or jawline.
Yes. Hyaluronic-acid fillers can be reversed with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks the product down over the following 24 hours.
Usually 24–48 hours. Any bruising clears in under a week.
Yes — many clients pop in during a lunch break.
Not in our hands. We place small amounts in strategic spots to keep proportions realistic.
Botox is usually the cheaper option, but its effect is shorter — fillers typically last one to two years, while Botox lasts around 3–4 months. Botox softens muscle movement; fillers restore volume.
Most people start considering dermal fillers in their late 20s, as early volume loss appears and collagen levels start to drop.
Fillers are considered generally safe. Temporary swelling and redness are fairly common; serious complications are rare when treatment is carried out by a trained professional.
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, you should avoid dermal fillers, as should anyone with an active skin infection near the injection zone. Always share your full medical history with your practitioner.
