Dermal Fillers

Treatment with dermal fillers shouldn’t hurt. Most fillers include an added anaesthetic, meaning the treatment is virtually pain-free. We can also use topical local anaesthetic to minimise your discomfort as we administer the dermal filler with ultrafine needles. After treatment, you may experience some tenderness around the affected area, but this is temporary.

Yes, when regulated dermal filler treatment is carried out by a qualified professional, it is completely safe. We are dedicated to providing the very best care, in a clean and safe environment, to deliver the results you deserve. We make sure you are aware of the procedure before we begin, give you the chance to ask any questions and gain your consent to continue.

The cost of your dermal filler treatment depends on which areas you are having treated, how many filler injections you need and the type of filler used. We will let you know a cost for your tailored dermal filler treatment during your consultation.

As dentists, we have an extended knowledge of facial anatomy and extensive experience in various injecting techniques. We are therefore well placed to look after your skin as well as your teeth. We operate under the strict guidelines of the British Dental Association and the Care Quality Commission, and we have the optimum standards of cleanliness and hygiene across our practice. You are in safe hands.

Your results from dermal fillers should last between 4 and 13 months, depending on the type of filler used and where on the face it was placed. The effects fade gradually over time, but can be maintained with regular top up treatments, at intervals advised by your clinician. If you decide not to continue with the top ups, the filler gel will biodegrade in the skin and simply disappear.

There will be some redness, tenderness and swelling around the treated area immediately after the injection. You might also feel an itching sensation. All side effects should subside after a couple of hours.
