Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid)

Dermal fillers use cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel to restore volume and redefine facial contours — filling deeper folds and grooves, rebuilding flattened cheeks, defining the chin and jawline and lifting down-turned corners of the mouth. At Dermaestet this is one of the most requested treatments, with the area and amount tailored at consultation and topical numbing cream for comfort. Results are immediate, hydration improves because hyaluronic acid binds water, and the effect lasts more than a year before the gel is gradually broken down.

Dermal filler treatment replaces lost volume and refines facial structure using injectable cross-linked hyaluronic acid. With age the face loses deep fat and bone support, which flattens the cheeks, deepens the nasolabial folds from nose to mouth and the marionette lines toward the chin, blunts the jawline and casts hollows; filler placed in the correct planes restores that support so the face looks refreshed rather than simply filled. At Dermaestet the menu covers nasolabial folds, marionette lines and down-turned corners, chin projection, lower-jaw contouring and three-dimensional cheekbone modelling, with the option to combine areas for a balanced result. A session takes around thirty minutes. A topical numbing cream is applied first, then the filler — which itself usually contains lidocaine — is placed with a fine needle and moulded by hand. Results are visible immediately, with mild swelling, tenderness or an occasional small bruise for a few days and the final shape settling over one to two weeks. Hyaluronic acid also draws and holds water, adding hydration alongside volume. The clinic reports an effect lasting more than a year for facial filler, after which the gel is naturally broken down and a top-up can refresh the look; it can also be dissolved if an adjustment is wanted. Fillers suit adults seeking subtle volume restoration or contouring; they are avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding and over active cold sores. Suitability and the right areas are agreed at the free-if-you-proceed consultation.
