Dermal fillers are a non-surgical option to increase facial volume, soften creases, and treat fine lines and wrinkles. When performed by an experienced medical professional, they are a safe and effective way to quickly achieve natural-looking enhancements.

They contain hyaluronic acid, which, when injected, helps the skin retain water, restoring hydration and elasticity. The benefits include improved skin fullness, smoother contours, and a refreshed, youthful appearance.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels, often made from hyaluronic acid, that add volume beneath the skin to smooth wrinkles and enhance facial contours. They work by attracting water, restoring fullness and hydration for a natural, youthful look, with effects lasting several months to over a year.

How long does a typical treatment session take?

Dermal filler treatments involve multiple small injections into the skin to administer the hyaluronic acid necessary to achieve the desired cosmetic effects. Treatment usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes, although this may vary depending on the area of treatment.

What downtime is associated with treatment?

There is minimal downtime after dermal filler procedures. As with all injectable treatments, there may be slight bruising or swelling that can persist for the first 2-3 days after treatment but this will not usually inhibit the daily routine. It's recommended to avoid intense physical activity for the first 24–48 hours to reduce swelling and bruising.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

Dermal fillers take immediate effect following injection, giving some of the fastest-acting results from any cosmetic procedure.

The longevity of lip fillers can vary depending on:

  • the type of filler used
  • the patient's metabolism and how their body reacts to the filler.

Typically, lip fillers last between 6 to 12 months.

TESTIMONIALS

Happy patients

I saw Dr Hawkes for filler treatments to the lower face for the first time last week. I have been having injectable treatments for years. It was a fantastic visit! She has a very gentle, warm and caring approach. I felt very safe in her hands and she explains things really well and guided me on the options to enhance and contour my features. Treatment was very comfortable, hardly any swelling and no bruising. Results are beautifully natural, I am thrilled! Thank you so much!

Are Dermal Fillers Safe?

The FDA has approved hyaluronic acid fillers. The treatment is safe and effective when delivered by a medical practitioner, such as Miss Hawkes.

Are Lip Fillers Safe?

Lip fillers are generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced doctor like Miss Elizabeth Hawkes. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, including swelling, bruising, and, less commonly, infection or allergic reactions. Miss Hawkes ensures all patients are fully informed and assessed for suitability before treatment.

Can Lip Fillers Be Dissolved?

Yes, one of the advantages of hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers is that they can be dissolved if necessary. An enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to safely and quickly dissolve the filler, returning the lips to their original state.

How Long Do Dermal FillersLast?

As hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring chemical in the body, Dermal Fillers are eventually absorbed by the body, meaning the aesthetic changes from fillers usually last 6 to 18 months.

How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?

The longevity of lip fillers can vary depending on:
  • the type of filler used,
  • the patient's metabolism and how their body reacts to the filler.
Typically, lip fillers last between 6 to 12 months. After this period, the fillers gradually dissolve.

How Should I Prepare for My Lip Filler Appointment?

Before your appointment, it's advisable to avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and any medications that can increase bruising and bleeding for at least 24 hours.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal Fillers can be used to treat many areas of the face, including the lips, eyebrows, tear troughs, nasolabial and marionette lines.
  • Lips: Adds natural-looking volume for a fuller effect, restoring any lost volume for a balanced look.
  • Tear Troughs: Reduces dark shadows under the eyes, providing a volumising effect that brightens and refreshes tired-looking skin.
  • Cheeks: Enhances volume and lifts the cheeks, creating a defined and contoured appearance while smoothing fine lines.
  • Lower Face and Jawline: Contours the jawline, creating sharp angles for men or gentle curves for women, improving balance and definition in facial features.
  • Eyebrows: Lifts and supports the brows, smoothing the orbital rim for a youthful effect.
  • Nasolabial Lines: Fills deep lines from the nose to mouth, softening the appearance for a fuller, more youthful look.
  • Marionette Lines: Smooths wrinkles at the mouth's outer corners, restoring volume in cheeks and enhancing the facial structure for a refreshed appearance.

What Are Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers are an aesthetic treatment that involves injecting hyaluronic acid-based products into the lips to enhance volume, shape, and structure. The aim is to create fuller, more defined lips while maintaining a natural appearance.

What Should I Expect Immediately After Getting Lip Fillers?

Immediately after the procedure, it's common to experience some swelling and bruising. This typically subsides within a few days. Miss Hawkes provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best results and comfort post-treatment.

When Will My Dermal Fillers Take Effect?

Dermal Fillers take immediate effect following injection, giving some of the fastest-acting results from any cosmetic procedure.

Will I Feel Any Pain During the Procedure?

The injections may cause some discomfort, but this is typically minimal. Miss Hawkes may apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure to help minimise any pain.

Will I Require a Recovery Period Post-Treatment?

There is no downtime after dermal filler procedures. As with all injectable treatments, there may be slight bruising or swelling that can persist for the first 2-3 days after treatment, but this will not usually inhibit daily routines.
