Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to restore volume and smooth folds where the face has flattened or creased with age — cheeks, the tear-trough hollow under the eyes, nasolabial folds and marionette lines. The physician plans placement across the face so proportions stay balanced rather than simply filling individual lines. Treatment is priced per millilitre, with a larger two-millilitre option for combined nasolabial and marionette correction.

Facial fillers use cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel to replace volume that is gradually lost from the cheeks, mid-face and around the mouth with age, and to soften the folds that deepen as a result. Because that volume loss is part of what drives sagging and shadowing, restoring it in the right places can do more for a refreshed look than treating lines in isolation. At Medestetic the physician assesses the face as a whole and proposes a plan, from a single millilitre for cheek modelling or a tear-trough correction up to a combined two-millilitre approach for nasolabial and marionette lines. 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 the area treated before the gel is gradually broken down by the body. A practical safety feature of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which the centre offers should an adjustment ever be wanted. Fillers suit adults noticing flattening of the cheeks, hollowing under the eyes or deepening folds around the mouth; suitability and contraindications are reviewed at consultation, and treatment is avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
