Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to balance facial features and lift a sagging face by restoring volume and enhancing contours.

Restore Facial Volume and Enhance Your Natural Contours With Dermal Fillers

Restore lost volume, soften facial lines and folds, and enhance facial contours. Improve cheek, chin and jawline definition and correct minor asymmetry to create more balanced facial proportions. Treatment offers a way to achieve a refreshed appearance without surgery.

What is a Dermal Filler?

Dermal filler treatment is a nonsurgical procedure in which a selected product is injected into the appropriate tissue layer. Hyaluronic gels provide volume and support, allowing targeted correction of folds or enhancement of features such as the lips, cheeks, chin and jawline. Different formulations suit different areas. Fillers generally produce visible change immediately, although swelling can temporarily alter the appearance. They are gradually absorbed, and maintenance may be needed.

“Restoring structural volume with subtle restraint preserves natural balance and restores youthful facial architecture.”

What to expect during your Dermal Fillers (Step by step)

Each stage is designed around your comfort, safety, and outcome. Dr. Gus walks every patient through this process in detail during your fully private consultation.

Personal Consultation

Detailed consultation to assess facial bone structure, volume depletion, and cross-facial symmetry.

Application of high-potency numbing cream and antiseptic preparation for maximum comfort.

Expert placement of HA filler using blunt-tip micro-cannulas to minimise tissue trauma and bruising.

Tactile moulding and continuous cross-facial evaluation ensure smooth, natural, and balanced contours.

In-chair reveal of immediate results, followed by detailed aftercare instructions and ice application.

What Is Recovery Like?

Recovery involves minor initial swelling that settles quickly, revealing refined, long-lasting volume.

Immediate volume is visible, accompanied by mild swelling or pinpoint bruising. Cold compresses soothe tissue.

Initial post-injection swelling settles completely, and the hyaluronic acid integrates into local tissue.

Product fully hydrates and settles into a soft, natural texture perfectly unified with your facial structure.

Enjoy refined, beautiful facial contours and restored volume that endure for 9 to 18 months.

Patient Inquiries

How are dermal fillers different from Botox and biostimulators?

Fillers mainly add volume and support. Botox reduces selected muscle activity to soften expression lines. Biostimulators encourage collagen production over time. Some products combine filling and biostimulation; the best option depends on the concern being treated.

Filler results are usually visible immediately. The appearance becomes clearer as swelling and bruising settle at around two weeks.

A single session may achieve the desired correction, while a staged approach may be recommended for more extensive treatment. Further treatment should be based on a review of the settled result rather than on swelling immediately after injection.

Duration depends on the filler, treatment area and individual response. Many fillers provide improvement for approximately 9 months to 2 years. These durations are estimates rather than guarantees, and maintenance is individualised.

Fillers can improve volume loss and selected contours, but they do not remove excess skin. Significant sagging may be better addressed with surgery. Adding excessive filler to compensate for skin laxity can create an unnatural appearance.

Fillers can usually be reduced or dissolved with hyaluronidase when clinically appropriate. Dissolving treatment has its own risks and may require more than one session. Other filler materials cannot be dissolved in the same way, so knowing the exact product is important.

Treatment aims for proportionate enhancement. Appropriate amounts and a staged approach can help avoid excessive fullness.

Risks include bruising, swelling, infection, asymmetry, lumps, migration and delayed inflammation. Rarely, filler can obstruct a blood vessel, causing tissue damage, blindness or stroke. Any visual disturbance or signs of stroke require emergency care; unusual pain or skin discolouration also needs immediate assessment.
