Dermal fillers
Filler injections given by a qualified doctor to selected facial areas, after assessment and consultation.
Who it's for
Suitability is confirmed after a consultation and assessment by the treating clinician; results vary from person to person. The doctor chooses the product and amount; the procedure may not suit some health conditions.
What to expect
- Consultation and assessment with the doctor
- Agree the area, amount and product
- Injection at the clinic, with aftercare guidance
- A follow-up appointment set by the doctor
Sessions and aftercare
Follow the doctor's instructions after the injection, and avoid pressing or massaging the area unless you are told to.
The doctor explains which product is used, and its source, at the consultation.
Possible risks and side effects
Common temporary effects: swelling, redness or mild bruising at the site. Rare complications the doctor explains beforehand: blood-vessel blockage, infection and lumps.
Why follow-up matters
The doctor sets a follow-up after the procedure; contact the clinic at once if you notice severe pain or a change in skin colour. Keeping follow-up appointments and aftercare instructions matters; missing them can delay noticing a side effect or affect the result.
