Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to restore volume and definition where the face has flattened with age — cheeks, chin, jawline and the folds running from nose to mouth, as well as under-eye tear troughs. The physician plans volumetry across the face so proportions stay balanced and natural rather than simply filling individual lines. Hyaluronidase is kept on hand to dissolve filler if an adjustment is ever needed.

Facial fillers at HappyDERM use cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel to replace deep volume that is gradually lost from the cheeks, temples, chin and jawline with age. Because that volume loss is what drives sagging and deepening folds, restoring it in the right places often does more for a refreshed appearance than treating lines in isolation. The physician assesses the face as a whole and proposes a plan — typically working in 1 ml ampoules — covering options such as cheek and chin volumetry, jawline and chin modelling, softening of the nasolabial folds and careful correction of the tear-trough hollows under the eyes. Lighter, less cross-linked products are also used for skin revitalisation where the aim is hydration and quality rather than contour. Numbing cream is applied first and most fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort. The gel is placed with a fine needle or a blunt cannula depending on the area; results are visible immediately and continue to settle over one to two weeks as any initial swelling resolves. Mild swelling, tenderness or small bruises are normal for a few days. Hyaluronic acid results typically last around nine to eighteen months depending on the product and area before the gel is naturally broken down. A key safety advantage of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which the clinic offers should you wish to reverse or adjust a result. The clinic works with established brands including Teoxane, Restylane and Saypha. Filler treatment suits adults noticing flattening of the cheeks, a less defined jaw or chin, deepening folds or hollow under-eyes; suitability is confirmed at consultation.
