Dermal fillers for face and body
Dermal Fillers for Natural Facial & Body Enhancement
Dermal fillers are gel‑like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours and smooth creases. We specialise in hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers such as Juvederm, Teosyal and Restylane for the face, as well as high‑volume fillers like Hyacorp and Genefil for body contouring. HA is a naturally occurring sugar found in the skin that attracts water and provides hydration. When injected, HA fillers can last six months or longer and offer a natural appearance Importantly, HA fillers are reversible; if a client dislikes the result or experiences an adverse event, the filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase
Hyaluronic acid fillers
In our practice we focus exclusively on hyaluronic‑acid (HA) fillers for volume restoration, contouring and correction. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found throughout the skin and connective tissue that attracts and binds water, giving the skin its plumpness and elasticity. When injected as a gel, it draws in moisture and temporarily replaces lost volume, providing immediate results that can last six months to two years depending on the formulation and treatment area Because HA is biocompatible and can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, it offers a high degree of safety and reversibility
Face: HA fillers for contouring and rejuvenation
We use HA fillers to restore youthful contours and soften wrinkles in the face. Typical brands include Juvederm, Teosyal, and Restylane. These products are formulated with different HA concentrations and cross‑linking, allowing us to tailor the viscosity and lifting capacity to each facial region. Key uses include:
- Cheeks and mid‑face. Replace lost volume and lift sagging tissues for a refreshed appearance.
- Nasolabial folds & marionette lines. Smooth lines around the nose and mouth.
- Lips. Add fullness and define the vermilion border while maintaining a natural look.
- Under‑eye hollows & nose. Soften tear‑troughs and correct minor nasal irregularities.
- Under‑eye hollows & nose. Soften tear‑troughs and correct minor nasal irregularities.
Body: HA fillers for shaping and repair
High‑viscosity hyaluronic‑acid fillers such as Hyacorp and Genefil have been developed for larger‑scale body contouring. These robust gels provide structural support and integrate into the subcutaneous tissues for natural‑feeling enhancement.
- Buttocks & hip dips. Non‑surgical augmentation for fuller buttocks or smoother hip contours
- Thighs, calves & contour corrections. Improve leg proportion and fill dents or depressions after liposuction or cellulite treatment
- Hands. Restore volume to the back of the hands and conceal prominent veins and tendons
- Intimate & soft‑tissue areas. Address volume loss or asymmetry in the genital region and other soft tissues, or fill concavities caused by scars.
HA body fillers produce instant results with little downtime. Patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at injection sites, but can typically resume normal activities quickly Because HA is reversible, these treatments are considered safer than permanent implants or silicone injections; our clinic does not offer permanent fillers due to their higher complication rates.
Why we avoid permanent fillers
We do not use permanent fillers such as polymethyl‑methacrylate (PMMA) or silicone. PMMA fillers contain tiny plastic beads that remain under the skin; while they are long‑lasting, they carry a higher risk of lumps and granulomas and can be visible under the skin The U.S. FDA has not approved injectable silicone or any filler for large‑scale body contouring. The agency warns that injecting unapproved fillers into the breasts, buttocks or between muscles can cause severe complications, including infection, scarring or even death Permanent fillers are extremely difficult to remove if problems occur and often require surgery Because we frequently treat patients who suffer complications from permanent fillers, our practice focuses on reversible and biocompatible products.
Safety and aftercare
HA fillers may cause temporary redness, swelling or bruising Less common risks include infection, nodules or accidental injection into a blood vessel Choosing a qualified injector who understands facial anatomy and uses FDA‑approved products is the best way to minimise these risks We always perform a consultation, review your medical history and discuss realistic outcomes before treatment. After injection, patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise or extreme heat for 24–48 hours, apply ice for swelling and attend follow‑up visits to assess results
Dermal fillers Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Most commonly, they are made of hyaluronic acid — a substance naturally found in the skin.
2. Which areas can be treated with dermal fillers?
Fillers can be used for cheeks, lips, under-eye hollows, jawline, chin, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, nose shaping (non-surgical rhinoplasty), and hand rejuvenation.
3. How long do dermal fillers last?
Results typically last 9–18 months, depending on the type of filler used, area injected, metabolism, and lifestyle factors.
4.Are dermal fillers safe?
When performed by a trained and qualified doctor, HA fillers are safe. Hyaluronic acid is biocompatible and reversible, making it one of the safest filler options available.
5. Do dermal filler injections hurt?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. Fillers contain lidocaine, and doctors may apply a numbing cream to make the procedure more comfortable.
6. What is the downtime after getting fillers?
There is usually minimal to no downtime. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and typically settles within a few days.
7. When will I see the results?
You can see improvement immediately after the procedure. Final results appear once swelling reduces — usually within 7–14 days.
8. Are fillers reversible?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if necessary.
9. Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?
Anyone looking to restore facial volume, enhance features, or reduce wrinkles can benefit. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid fillers.
