Dermal fillers are one of the most versatile and popular non-surgical aesthetic treatments available in London. Whether you're looking to restore lost volume, define your cheekbones, enhance your lips, smooth deep lines, or sculpt your jawline, dermal fillers offer a safe, effective, and reversible solution. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that add volume, restore structure, and smooth the skin. The most widely used and safest type of dermal filler is made from hyaluronic acid (HA) — a substance naturally found in the body that attracts and retains moisture, giving skin its plump, hydrated appearance.
As we age, we naturally lose hyaluronic acid, collagen, and facial fat, leading to volume loss, sagging, and the formation of deeper lines and folds. Dermal fillers replenish this lost volume, restoring a more youthful facial structure and smoothing the skin from within.
Treatment Areas for Dermal Fillers
Add volume, definition, and symmetry to the lips for a naturally full appearance.
Cheek Fillers
Restore volume to hollow cheeks and enhance cheekbone definition for a lifted, sculpted look.
Nasolabial Folds
Soften the deep lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
Jawline Filler
Define and sculpt the jawline for a more structured, contoured appearance.
Chin Filler
Enhance chin projection and improve facial balance and proportion.
Tear Trough Filler
Address hollowness and dark circles under the eyes for a more rested appearance.
Temple Filler
Restore volume to hollow temples, which is a common sign of facial ageing.
Nose Filler (Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty)
Reshape and refine the nose without surgery using precise filler placement.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and your individual metabolism. As a general guide:
| Treatment Area | Typical Longevity |
|---|---|
| Lip Fillers | 6–12 months |
| Cheek Fillers | 12–18 months |
| Nasolabial Folds | 9–12 months |
| Jawline Filler | 12–18 months |
| Chin Filler | 12–18 months |
| Tear Trough Filler | 9–12 months |
| Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty | 12–18 months |
Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
When performed by a qualified medical professional using approved hyaluronic acid products, dermal fillers are very safe. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body, making it well-tolerated with a low risk of allergic reaction. Common side effects — such as mild bruising, swelling, and redness at the injection site — are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.
Serious complications, while rare, can occur — which is why it is absolutely essential to choose a qualified, experienced medical practitioner for your treatment. At The London Aesthetic Clinic, all treatments are performed by highly qualified medical professionals with extensive training in facial anatomy and advanced injection techniques.
