Dermal fillers to restore volume and enhance your features.
Hyaluronic acid and collagen-stimulating fillers, chosen for each area and placed by our doctors, for a fresher, more balanced appearance.
What are dermal fillers?
Restoring volume where the face has lost it.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume to the face and to enhance existing facial features. Restoring volume to key areas can give a natural lift that softens some signs of ageing, for a fresher, more youthful and balanced appearance.
As we age, skin loses elasticity and natural hydration. Combined with the effects of gravity, this can lead to lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.
There are different fillers for specific purposes, depending on your needs, the extent of your volume loss and the area you would like to add volume to. Dermal fillers fall into two groups: hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, and non-HA or collagen-stimulating fillers.
- Two types — HA fillers and collagen-stimulating fillers
- Matched to the area — softer or firmer gels, chosen for each zone
- Numbing first — numbing cream for about 30 minutes
- Two-week review — a follow-up for any fine-tuning
How it works
How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal fillers restore volume where it has been lost, supporting the skin and features above. HA fillers do this directly as a gel, while collagen-stimulating fillers encourage the skin to build collagen gradually. Each brand differs in chemical make-up, longevity and softness, matched to the treatment area, your skin and the result you want.
Firmer, thicker fillers
Firmer, thicker HA gels are used where more support is needed.
- Juvederm Volux
- Belotero Intense
Volumising fillers
Volumising fillers are used to re-shape and sculpt the face, as well as to add volume.
- Juvederm Voluma
- Belotero Volume
- Restylane
Non-HA, collagen-stimulating fillers
Rather than a gel alone, these fillers encourage the skin to build its own collagen gradually. See Collagen Biostimulator Injectable.
Personalised assessment
Which concerns can dermal fillers help with?
Fillers are planned area by area, from the under-eyes and smile lines to the chin and jawline. Your doctor looks at your proportions and the extent of volume loss before suggesting where filler would help.

-
Tear troughs & dark eye circles
Many people, some as early as their 30s, notice hollow, sunken under-eye circles that leave them looking tired. This area needs precise placement for a fresher, less tired look.
-
Nasolabial & smile lines
These lines run from the lower nose to the corners of the mouth and deepen with age. Newer techniques treat the root cause — volume loss in the mid-cheek — restoring the mid-face gently before the fold itself for a natural, freshened look, rather than the 'sausage' appearance older techniques could cause.
-
V-shape chin & jawline
HA fillers can improve the appearance of the chin for a V-shaped face. The result is better when combined with other treatments that slim the jawline.
-
Lips, cheeks, nose, temples & forehead
Fillers can also add volume or refine shape in these areas, planned around your proportions.

-
Review
Any swelling or bruising usually settles within about a week. Your doctor reviews the result at 2 weeks and fine-tunes it if needed.
Safety & expectations
The right filler depends on the area, your skin and the result you want — so the plan comes first.
Mild swelling and bruising are common and usually settle in about a week. Seek urgent medical attention for severe or increasing pain, pale or mottled skin, or any change in vision after a filler, as these can signal a blocked blood vessel.
Dermal Fillers: frequently asked questions
How long do dermal fillers last?
Results from dermal fillers can last up to 10 months, depending on the type of filler used. Fillers dissolve naturally with time, so the effect gradually fades and repeat treatment is needed to maintain it. Your doctor will explain what to expect for the filler and areas in your plan.
Are dermal fillers safe?
Dermal fillers are clinically tested, biocompatible with the skin and dissolve naturally over time. As with any injection, mild swelling and bruising can occur and usually last about a week. Rarely, filler can block a blood vessel: severe or increasing pain, pale or mottled skin, or any change in vision needs urgent medical attention, which is why fillers should be placed by a trained doctor.
Which areas can dermal fillers treat?
Dermal fillers can be used on the lips, chin, cheeks, sunken under-eyes, nose, forehead, temples and jawline. Common concerns include tear troughs and dark eye circles, nasolabial or smile lines, and a less defined chin. Our doctors will determine with you the most suitable type and volume of filler for your areas of concern.
What is the difference between HA fillers and collagen-stimulating fillers?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural compound found in the skin and is responsible for many functions in the body. HA fillers are gels that restore volume where they are placed, and brands differ in chemical make-up, longevity and softness. Non-HA or collagen-stimulating fillers, such as a collagen biostimulator, instead encourage the skin to build new collagen gradually. Your doctor will explain which type of dermal filler suits your concern.
Is there downtime after dermal fillers?
Mild swelling and bruising may occur after dermal fillers, depending on the individual and the areas treated, and usually last about a week. Normal activities can be resumed after the procedure, but avoid vigorous exercise and exposure to extreme heat, which can worsen swelling or bruising.
Do dermal filler injections hurt?
Numbing cream is applied for about 30 minutes before dermal filler injections to make them more comfortable. The filler is then placed with small needles or blunt needles called cannulas, and treatment usually does not take long, depending on the areas treated. Tell your doctor if you are worried about discomfort.
Can dermal fillers create a V-shaped face?
Yes. By improving the appearance of the chin, HA dermal fillers can help create a V-shaped face. The result is better achieved when chin filler is combined with treatments that slim the jawline, such as anti-wrinkle injections for jaw slimming. Your doctor will assess your proportions and suggest a combined plan if it suits you.
Can dermal fillers treat tear troughs and dark eye circles?
Yes. Hollow, sunken under-eye circles, which many people notice as early as their 30s, can leave you looking tired, and dermal fillers can restore volume there. Because this area needs precise placement, your doctor plans it carefully. Dark circles can also come from pigmentation or thin skin, so the doctor first assesses the cause and the treatment that suits it.
