Minimal. Mild swelling and potential bruising for 24–72 hours. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.

As with any medical procedure, risks exist. Common: mild swelling and bruising. Rare: asymmetry, infection or delayed swelling. Very rare but serious: vascular occlusion — this is why treatment by a medically qualified clinician is essential.

Q: Are dermal fillers reversible?

Yes — hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase enzyme if you are unhappy with results. This is one of the key safety advantages of HA-based products over permanent or semi-permanent fillers.

Q: Which filler areas are most popular?

Lips, tear trough, cheeks and jawline are our most requested areas. We assess each patient individually and will only recommend treatment where it genuinely benefits your facial balance.

Q: Will filler make me look different?

When performed correctly, filler should make you look like a refreshed and more rested version of yourself. You should not look dramatically different — our philosophy is always enhancement, not alteration.

Q: How long do dermal fillers last?

This varies by area and product: lips typically 6–9 months, cheeks 12–18 months, and tear trough up to 18 months. Individual metabolism also plays a role.

Q: Can dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections be done together?

Yes — and this is often the most effective approach. Anti-wrinkle injections address muscle-related lines; fillers address volume loss and structure. Together they create a comprehensive result.

Q: What products do you use?

We use only premium, CE-marked hyaluronic acid products from reputable manufacturers. Product selection is made based on the treatment area and your individual needs.

About This Treatment

Dermal
Fillers

Our dermal fillers are primarily composed of hyaluronic acid — a substance naturally produced by the body that supports hydration and tissue firmness. When injected by our experienced clinicians, they add volume, restore lost structure, and address specific aesthetic concerns with precision.

Unlike many aesthetic practices, at DermaMedica every filler treatment begins with a detailed facial assessment. We map your facial proportions, identify where structure or volume has been lost, and plan treatment as part of a coherent facial strategy — never in isolation.

We use only premium, CE-marked hyaluronic acid products and place every injection using a deep anatomical understanding developed over 25 years of clinical practice. The result is always natural — an enhancement of your own features, not an alteration.

How It Works

The treatment
process.

Facial Mapping

Your clinician assesses facial proportions and anatomy before any filler is placed. Treatment is planned strategically to enhance your natural facial balance.

Topical Anaesthesia

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied 20–30 minutes before treatment, and most hyaluronic acid products contain lidocaine for additional comfort during injection.

Precise Placement

Filler is placed using fine needles or soft cannulas depending on the treatment area. Results are visible immediately — final results settle beautifully at 1–2 weeks.

Common Questions

Everything you
need to know.

Are dermal fillers reversible?

Most dermal fillers used today are hyaluronic acid based and can be safely dissolved if necessary.

Which filler areas are most popular?

Popular treatment areas include the lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, and nasolabial folds. Treatments are always tailored to enhance facial balance and achieve natural-looking results.

Will filler make me look different?

Dermal filler should enhance your natural features rather than change the way you look. Our approach focuses on subtle, balanced results that leave you looking refreshed and rejuvenated.

How long do dermal fillers last?

Dermal fillers typically last between 6–18 months depending on the treatment area, product used, and individual metabolism.

Is there downtime?

There is minimal downtime following dermal filler treatment. Some temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising can occur, but these effects usually settle within a few days.

Can dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections be done together?

Yes — dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments are often combined to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation results. While fillers restore volume and structure, anti-wrinkle treatments soften expression lines.

What products do you use?

As every patient is different, we use a variety of clinically proven filler and collagen-stimulating products, including Teosyal, Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Sculptra. Product selection is based on the treatment area, desired outcome, and what will deliver the safest and most natural-looking result.

Are there risks?

As with any injectable treatment, dermal fillers carry some risks. Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness. Risks versus benefits and your suitability, will be discussed in detail at your consultation.
