Injectable Hyaluronic acid used to restore support, refine proportion or soften selected shadows with a conservative, anatomy led approach.

At a glance

Appointment: Often 30 to 60 min. Plan: Usually one session, then review. Downtime: Swelling or bruising can occur. Results: Visible immediately; refine as swelling settles.

Indicative guide only. Exact timing, course, recovery and suitability are confirmed after assessment.

How it works

The mechanism, without the marketing

Dermal fillers are injectable gels, commonly based on hyaluronic acid, placed at a chosen depth to support tissue, replace selected volume loss or refine proportion. Different facial areas need different products, quantities and placement techniques. The purpose is not simply to make a feature larger: subtle support can soften a shadow, restore balance or replace volume that has changed with time.

What we assess

The details that change the plan

• Facial proportions at rest and in movement

• Whether the concern is volume, skin quality, muscle activity, laxity or lighting and shadow

• Previous filler, including possible migration or overfilling

• Skin, dental and medical factors that may increase risk

Before, during & after

What the appointment may involve

Before, assessment: We agree the concern, not a number of millilitres. Existing filler and the condition of the surrounding skin are considered before a plan is made.

During, treatment: Product is placed using a needle or cannula depending on the area and anatomy. The amount and endpoint are kept proportionate to the agreed goal.

After, recovery: Temporary swelling, tenderness, bruising and asymmetry from swelling are possible. Some areas take longer than others to settle, so immediate appearance is not the final result.

Results, course & recovery

What changes, and when

Some change is visible straight away, but the result should be judged after swelling has resolved and the gel has integrated. Longevity differs by product, placement, area, movement and individual metabolism. Future treatment is based on reassessment rather than automatically repeating the same plan.

Limits, risks & alternatives

The part that should never be hidden

Filler does not remove pigmentation, acne scarring, broken vessels or poor skin texture. More filler can make the face appear heavy or distorted. Risks include infection, nodules, prolonged swelling, asymmetry and, rarely, vascular occlusion with potential skin or visual injury. These rare complications are why anatomy, product traceability, emergency planning and honest restraint matter.
