What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial features. One of the most popular ingredients in modern fillers is hyaluronic acid (HA) — a naturally occurring molecule in the body that retains moisture, supports skin elasticity, and gives skin its plump, youthful appearance.
The HA-based fillers we use are produced through advanced biofermentation and cross-linking processes, creating a clear, sterile gel that’s safe, effective, and long-lasting. Once injected, HA binds to water in the skin, offering immediate hydration, volume, and support to underlying tissues.
How Dermal Fillers Work
Hyaluronic acid doesn’t just add volume — it plays an important role in skin health by cushioning and supporting collagen and elastin fibres, and acting as a medium for cellular communication. The result? Smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin with long-lasting benefits.
Your session at our Nuovo clinic will be completed in approximately 30–40 minutes. Dermal fillers will be precisely injected into specific facial areas, delivering instantly visible results.
Following filler treatment, you might require up to 48 hours of downtime.
This period allows for the resolution of any mild side effects and allows your fillers to settle effectively.
The duration of the results from your filler treatment typically ranges from 6 to 12 months, depending on the specific areas of application on your face.
You won’t have to wait to see the results, as they should be immediately visible.
Facial contouring treatment involves the injection of hyaluronic acid gels, also known as dermal fillers, beneath the skin.
This procedure results in enhanced skin volume in areas of the face that have lost collagen due to aging, ultimately providing a more youthful appearance.
You might experience mild bruising, swelling, and temporary discomfort at the injection site, but these effects typically dissipate rapidly.
Allergic reactions are highly improbable because hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body.
However, it’s important to note that although rare, there are potential risks of more serious complications, which will be thoroughly addressed during your consultation.
We’ll provide detailed after-care information.
The advice we give will be with the goal of you achieving optimal results, while retaining your full health.
Dermal Filler Treatment Areas
Face
As we age, our facial fat pads shrink and shift, often leading to a tired or hollow appearance. Fillers can restore volume in the cheeks and tear troughs (under-eye area), instantly revitalising the face and reducing signs of fatigue.
Chin & Jawline
Enhance your profile and redefine facial symmetry with expertly placed fillers in the chin and jawline. This treatment can correct imbalances, sharpen definition, and provide subtle lift — especially helpful in softening the appearance of early jowls or sagging.
Lip Shaping & Plumping
Whether you’re after subtle volume or enhanced definition, lip fillers can address thinning, asymmetry, and hydration loss. We work carefully to create balanced, natural-looking lips that complement your overall features — never overdone, always elegant.

What they say about us…
Dermal Fillers FAQs
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a cosmetic procedure that entails precise injections. These injections are administered to augment the volume of soft facial tissues, targeting areas like the cheeks, mouth, lips, around the eyes, and the jawline. This treatment effectively addresses signs of ageing by filling in wrinkles, mitigating the appearance of dark circles, and addressing thinning lips. The gel used typically contains hyaluronic acid, a natural component found in the skin.
Are dermal fillers safe?
Dermal fillers are widely acknowledged as a minimally invasive and safe cosmetic procedure. This is primarily due to the use of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the body, in the treatment. Because hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring, there is no known risk of an allergic reaction, making dermal fillers a well-tolerated option for many individuals.
Am I Suitable for Treatment?
We will take a detailed medical history to ensure you have no conditions that might increase risk of unwanted side effects, consultation is also important to discuss your expectations and whether or not this treatment is able to meet them.
How long do dermal fillers last?
The amount of time which the results last will vary from person to person, but this is usually between six and 18 months.
Are there any special steps for aftercare?
Most people are able to continue with normal activities with immediate improvement in their appearance. Some will have some redness, pin prick marks, possibly swelling- particularly in the lips. Possibly bruising. Any swelling and bruising may be more apparent the next day.
Make-up should not be worn for 12 hours
You are advised to avoid alcohol, vigorous exercise, sun bathing, and extremes of heat or cold for 14 days post treatment. These activities have been found to increase and prolong swelling.
Swelling may worsen in the first 24 hours, and then should settle within the first few days. Cold packs can be helpful in reducing swelling. As a consequence of swelling, the product may feel harder or lumpy and you may notice some asymmetry. The final result may be judged at 2 weeks.
Bruising may take a few days to appear, arnica can be helpful in clearing bruising. It is advisable to avoid aspirin and alcohol for 12-48 hours after treatment. Tenderness should settle as swelling goes down.
Athletes should be aware some ingredients in the product may show a positive in ‘anti-dope tests’
Please contact your practitioner if redness, tenderness, itching or swelling worsens after 3 days, rather than settling.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns.
Hyaluronic Acid administration can result in anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) which in itself is life threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms of a severe allergic reaction can include shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, difficulty swallowing, swelling of the tongue, eyelids, lips, hoarseness of the voice, stomach pain, nausea or diarrhoea. If you have any of the above symptoms please report to your nearest Accident and Emergency Department or call 999 for an ambulance.
