1. What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances made primarily of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps keep the skin hydrated and plump. They restore lost volume and smooth away wrinkles for a rejuvenated appearance.

2. How long do dermal fillers last?

Results can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the area treated, the product used, and your body’s metabolism. Regular maintenance helps preserve your results.

3. Does the treatment hurt?

Most people find the procedure very comfortable. A numbing cream is applied beforehand, and most fillers contain local anaesthetic to minimise any discomfort.

4. Is there any downtime?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection points, which typically resolves within a few days.

5. Are dermal fillers safe?

Yes. When performed by a qualified practitioner using medical-grade fillers, this treatment is very safe. The body naturally metabolises the product over time.

6. When will I see results?

Results are visible immediately after treatment, though minor swelling may take a few days to settle. Once healed, you’ll see a smoother, more rejuvenated appearance.

7. What should I avoid after treatment?

For the first 24–48 hours, it’s best to avoid:

Touching or massaging the treated area

Sunbeds, saunas, or hot showers

Intense exercise or alcohol consumption

8. Can I combine fillers with other treatments?

Yes. Dermal fillers can be beautifully combined with skin boosters, microneedling, or anti-wrinkle injections for enhanced rejuvenation and long-lasting results.

9. Who isn’t suitable for dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are not recommended for those who are:

Pregnant or breastfeeding

Experiencing active skin infections or cold sores

Allergic to lidocaine or filler ingredients
