Considering dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation? You're not alone. Many patients seek this non-surgical treatment to restore lost volume, smooth lines and enhance facial contours. At London Dental Specialists, we offer premium hyaluronic acid fillers that provide natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Our patients often have questions about treatment areas, longevity, procedure details and costs. Dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6-24 months depending on the product used and treatment area. Our skilled clinicians tailor each treatment to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring subtle enhancement that complements your natural beauty. Below are answers to the most common questions we receive about this popular treatment.
What are dermal fillers and how do they work for facial rejuvenation?
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances that restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. They work by replacing naturally occurring substances in the skin that diminish with age, such as hyaluronic acid. At London Dental Specialists, we use premium-quality fillers to address signs of ageing by restoring volume to cheeks, smoothing nasolabial folds, enhancing lips, and defining jawlines for a naturally rejuvenated appearance.
How long do facial dermal fillers typically last?
Dermal fillers can last between 6-24 months depending on the type of filler used and the treatment area. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6-18 months, while more robust fillers can last up to 24 months. At London Dental Specialists, we recommend maintenance appointments to ensure optimal, long-lasting results. Factors affecting longevity include the treatment area, your metabolism, lifestyle factors, and the specific product used.
Are dermal fillers safe for facial rejuvenation?
Yes, dermal fillers are safe when administered by qualified professionals like our team at London Dental Specialists. We exclusively use FDA and CE-approved fillers with excellent safety profiles. Temporary side effects may include minor swelling, bruising, or redness at injection sites, which typically resolve within days. Our practitioners have extensive training in facial anatomy and injection techniques to minimise risks and ensure natural-looking results.
