Dermal fillers are used for facial aesthetic treatments and are injected into the skin. They are designed to effectively reduce the appearance of unwanted wrinkles, contour and create volume, and to revitalise the skin. Dermal fillers are based on Hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a substance that naturally exists in your body.
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that exists naturally in almost all living organisms. It binds water and can act as a lubricant and shock absorber in movable parts of the body such as joints. It is also important for the transport of nutrients and in regulating water balance in skin.
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, commonly containing hyaluronic acid, that are placed beneath the skin in carefully selected areas to add or restore volume, support facial contours and soften the appearance of certain lines or folds. The amount and placement of filler depend on the individual’s facial anatomy, treatment goals and the area being treated.
An initial change may be visible after treatment, although temporary swelling, bruising or tenderness can affect the early appearance. Results are temporary, and how long they last varies according to the filler product, treatment area, amount used and individual response.
Dermal fillers can be used to address a range of aesthetic concerns without surgical incisions. Depending on the treatment plan, they may help restore lost facial volume, enhance areas such as the lips, cheeks, chin or jawline, soften selected lines and improve overall facial balance and proportion.
Treatment can be tailored to the individual, allowing the practitioner to adjust the amount and placement of filler according to facial anatomy and the desired degree of change. Dermal filler results are temporary, and recognised risks, expected outcomes and recovery should be discussed during consultation before treatment.
Before
During your consultation at Deep Aesthetics, your concerns, treatment goals, medical history and suitability will be reviewed. The practitioner will assess the relevant facial areas and discuss the proposed treatment, expected outcomes, recognised risks, limitations and aftercare before you decide whether to proceed.
If treatment is appropriate and you choose to proceed, you will be asked to complete the required medical history and consent documentation.
During
Dermal filler is administered in selected areas according to the individual treatment plan. Depending on the area being treated, filler may be used to add or restore volume, alter facial contours or soften the appearance of selected lines and folds.
Treatment time varies according to the areas being treated and the individual plan. An initial change may be visible after treatment, although temporary swelling can affect the early appearance.
After
Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, itching or discomfort may occur after treatment. The severity and duration of these effects vary between individuals and according to the treatment area.
Follow-up or maintenance treatment may be discussed where appropriate. The timing depends on the filler product used, treatment area, individual response and aesthetic goals.
Dermal filler results are temporary. How long they last varies according to the filler product used, treatment area, amount administered, individual metabolism and response.
Some areas or products may retain their effect for longer than others, so expected longevity should be discussed during consultation for the specific treatment being considered. Follow-up or maintenance treatment can be considered individually rather than according to a fixed schedule.
Dermal fillers are not suitable for everyone. Suitability depends on factors including your medical history, medications, allergies, facial anatomy, previous treatments and the area being considered.
Dermal fillers may be used for concerns such as adding volume, enhancing the lips, defining areas such as the cheeks, chin or jawline, or softening the appearance of selected lines and folds.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding, active infection or inflammation near the treatment area, certain medical conditions, medications or previous reactions to injectable products may affect suitability. Your medical history and any relevant previous treatments should therefore be reviewed during consultation before treatment proceeds.
Generally, pain relief is not necessary when injecting into the skin to correct lines and wrinkles. Some people may experience the treatment as a mild discomfort. A local anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area for a more comfortable treatment experience.
The lips are a highly sensitive part of the body and, therefore, at Deep Aesthetics we only use dermal filler products with local anaesthetic lidocaine included for a more comfortable treatment experience.
Dermal filler treatment carries recognised risks. Temporary effects can include redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, itching, discomfort, lumps or irregularities around the treatment area.
Less common but more serious complications can include infection, vascular occlusion, tissue injury and, in very rare circumstances, visual complications. The specific risks depend partly on the area being treated and should be discussed during consultation before treatment proceeds.
Temporary swelling can also occur after lip filler treatment, with the severity and duration varying between individuals. Clients should follow the aftercare advice provided and contact the clinic if symptoms are severe, worsening or concerning.
Yes. Reference photographs can help communicate the type of result you are considering. The amount and placement of filler will still be determined according to your individual anatomy, existing lip volume, tissue characteristics and treatment goals. Where appropriate, gradual enhancement over more than one session may be discussed.
Hyaluronic acid filler may be treated with hyaluronidase where clinically appropriate. The degree and speed of dissolution can vary, and complete or immediate reversal cannot be guaranteed. If you have concerns about previous filler treatment, the clinic can assess the area and discuss whether dissolution, correction or further treatment may be appropriate.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty treatment time varies according to the individual treatment plan and includes time for assessment, preparation and the procedure itself. An initial change may be visible after treatment, although temporary swelling, bruising or tenderness can affect the early appearance.
Recovery varies between individuals. You will be given aftercare instructions covering activities, pressure on the treated area and other treatments that may need to be avoided while the area settles. A follow-up review may be recommended, and any additional treatment will depend on the individual result and treatment plan.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is not risk-free and is considered an advanced filler procedure because of the anatomy of the nose. Recognised risks include temporary swelling, bruising and tenderness, as well as rare but serious vascular complications.
Appropriate assessment, practitioner training and access to complication-management protocols are important, but risk cannot be eliminated completely. Hyaluronic acid filler may be treated with hyaluronidase where clinically appropriate, although complete or immediate reversal cannot be guaranteed.
Treatment demand varies over time and between clients. Deep Aesthetics provides a range of facial and body aesthetic treatments, and the most appropriate option depends on the individual’s anatomy, concerns, suitability and treatment goals rather than overall popularity.
Injectable treatments may address selected concerns involving facial volume, contour, lines or muscle activity, but they are not appropriate for every concern. In some cases, a combination of injectable, skin or energy-based treatments may be considered. The treatment plan should be based on individual anatomy, suitability and the changes being requested.
Dermal fillers and treatments used for dynamic facial lines work in different ways and are suitable for different concerns. Dermal fillers may be considered where volume, contour or structural support is being addressed, while other injectable treatments may be considered for selected lines associated with muscle activity.
The most appropriate treatment depends on facial anatomy, muscle movement, volume changes, medical suitability and the individual’s goals. In some cases, more than one treatment approach may be discussed.
Deep Aesthetics offers a range of aesthetic treatments rather than recommending one procedure for everyone. Treatment selection is based on the individual’s anatomy, concerns, suitability and aesthetic goals, with the aim of creating a proportionate and personalised treatment plan.
Facial proportions, including concepts such as the Golden Ratio, may be considered as one part of aesthetic assessment. However, treatment planning is not based on a single mathematical formula. Individual anatomy, facial balance, natural variation and the client’s own goals are also considered when developing a treatment plan.
