"The art of beautiful skin"

Dermal fillers are hugely popular at our medical skin clinic, as one of our most versatile treatments! These can be used to sculpt and address volume loss to the cheekbones and add definition to the jaw, and fill fine lines, wrinkles and the lips.

These are some of our most frequently asked questions about our dermal fillers. 

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectables, which are usually made from the naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. These are either used to fill an area or to sculpt and define. We use reputable and certified filler brands at Stone Aesthetics such as Belotero and Neauvia,  

Where can they be used?

Fillers can be used on the cheeks, lips, chin, jawline, tear troughs, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, smoker’s lines, nose and more.

Can I have fillers in more than one area at once?

Yes! Many patients opt for several treatments at the same time. 

How long does it take?

This depends on your individual treatment plan, however it usually lasts between 30 minutes and an hour. 

Do dermal fillers hurt?

Many patients find fillers more comfortable than expected, and our fillers contain anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. Our medical professionals are very skilled, and experienced, so you should only feel a slight sting during treatment.

How quickly will I see results?

Results are visible immediately after the procedure! There may be some redness or swelling around the injection points, however this subsides quickly.

How long do fillers last?

Dermal fillers are non-permanent, and results are usually visible for 6-18 months. You can discuss when to book top-ups when you visit for your appointment.

Do fillers stimulate collagen production?

Yes, several studies have suggested that fillers induce the formation of collagen, resulting in skin that looks fresher and younger for longer!

Are fillers safe?

Fillers are very safe when administered by an experienced and medically qualified practitioner. We only used our two approved filler brands, and our team of professionals have performed many treatments and regularly undertake training, so we can minimise the chances of side effects and create naturally beautiful results.

What can I expect after the treatment?

Swelling and redness should go down after one or two days. Some patients may also experience raised or inflamed skin and itchiness in this time. You will also need to pause exercise for 24 hours after the procedure, however you can eat and carry on other normal activities. 

What’s the difference between fillers and anti-wrinkle injections?

Both of these are injectables, but anti-wrinkle injections relax muscle movement whereas fillers simply plump out and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. To discuss both of these treatments, you can book a no-obligation consultation with us.   

Choosing a trusted clinician for dermal fillers ensures you have desirable and safe results from treatment. Don’t put your face in the hands of someone who’s only been on a day course –
