Dermal Fillers

Dermal filler replaces volume that has been lost, or adds definition where a feature is naturally soft. I use hyaluronic acid fillers, which are temporary and reversible, and I place them in small amounts so we build towards a result rather than chasing it in one appointment.

Who it suits

Anyone who feels their face has flattened with age, or who wants more shape in a specific feature. It is also for people who have had filler elsewhere and did not like the outcome. I dissolve as often as I fill, and I will tell you honestly if dissolving first is the better starting point.

What to expect

We start with a proper consultation and a facial assessment, looking at your face as a whole rather than the one area you came in about. I mark, I explain what I am doing and why, and I use numbing cream and fillers that contain local anaesthetic. Most appointments take between thirty and sixty minutes.

Aftercare and downtime

Expect some swelling and possibly small bruises for two to five days, more with lips than anywhere else. Avoid heat, alcohol, strenuous exercise and facials for forty eight hours, sleep slightly elevated for the first two nights, and do not book this in the week before an event. The final result settles at around two to four weeks.
