Considering dermal fillers for your lips, cheeks, chin or jawline? At your consultation at DRVICTORIA™ Skin Clinic, we’ll discuss what you’d like to change, assess whether fillers are suitable for you and explain your options, the risks and the likely cost.
First time having dermal fillers? Start with a face-to-face consultation. Consultations cost £50 with a healthcare professional or £75 with the clinical director.
What can hyaluronic acid fillers do?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) occurs naturally in the skin and helps it retain water. We use HA fillers to restore volume in areas such as the cheeks, soften lines around the mouth or add definition to the lips, cheeks and jawline.
Your practitioner will choose a filler based on the area and your goals. Softer gels can add subtle fullness to the lips, while firmer gels can provide more structure in the cheeks or jawline.
When will I see results?
You may notice a change straight away. Allow about two weeks for swelling to settle before judging the result. At your complimentary review, we’ll check symmetry and balance and answer your questions.
How long do dermal fillers last?
HA fillers are temporary. Results can last around 6 to 24 months, depending on the product used, the area treated and how your body breaks down the filler.
Before and After
What happens during dermal filler treatment?
At your consultation, your practitioner will discuss your goals, assess your facial features and create a treatment plan tailored to you.
On the day, we’ll clean the area and may apply numbing cream. Your practitioner will inject the filler using a fine needle or cannula. Treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Recovery
Expect mild swelling, bruising or tenderness which can occur after treatment and usually eases within a few days.
- First 12 hours: Avoid touching the treated areas.
- First 24 hours: Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol and sun exposure.
- First 48 hours: Avoid facial treatments, swimming, saunas and spas.
- First 2 weeks: Avoid dental procedures.
Results settle over about two weeks. At your review, we’ll check symmetry and balance and answer your questions.
Are HA filler results like anti-wrinkle treatment results?
No, they work in completely different ways. HA fillers restore lost volume and elasticity in the skin, smoothing out static lines and folds by physically filling them. Unlike anti-wrinkle treatments, which relax muscles to reduce wrinkles and lines caused by movement.
Who can have HA filler treatments?
This treatment is not suitable for individuals with the following conditions:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Allergy to lidocaine or hyaluronic acid.
- Prone to keloid scarring.
- History of anaphylaxis.
Are HA fillers safe?
HA fillers are safe when administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional. Licensed fillers have a proven safety record, but as with any medical procedure complications can occur depending on the treatment area which are discussed at consultation.
Can dermal fillers be dissolved?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. If you’re unhappy with your results, your practitioner can assess the treated area and discuss whether dissolving the filler is suitable for you.
A Quick Heads-Up
Not all fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, so not all of them are reversible. If using another provider - make sure you double-check with them to confirm the type of filler being used.
