Dermal Fillers
What They Do For Your Skin
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances — most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, a molecule naturally found in the skin — that are used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. As we age, the skin loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, causing the face to appear hollower, flatter, and more lined. Dermal fillers replenish this lost volume and structure, immediately restoring a more youthful, refreshed, and balanced facial appearance.
At Derma Skin Clinic, our dermatologists assess your facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals carefully before recommending a personalised filler treatment plan. We use only premium, clinically approved filler products and administer them with precision — ensuring results that are natural, proportionate, and beautifully suited to your individual facial features. Our approach prioritises enhancement over alteration, giving you a refreshed version of yourself.
Facial Assessment & Consultation
Our dermatologist conducts a detailed assessment of your facial structure, volume loss, skin condition, and aesthetic goals — identifying the treatment areas and filler type most suited to achieving natural, balanced results for your face.
Treatment Planning
We discuss your desired outcome in detail, explain realistic expectations, and agree on a personalised treatment plan before any product is administered. Patient understanding and comfort are central to every step of the process at Derma Skin Clinic.
Filler Administration
A topical numbing cream or local anaesthetic is applied before treatment to ensure your comfort. Our dermatologist then administers the filler using precise injection techniques — carefully placing product in targeted areas to restore volume, define contours, and achieve a smooth, natural result.
Results & Aftercare
Results are visible immediately following treatment and continue to settle over 1 to 2 weeks as any initial swelling subsides. We schedule a follow-up review at 2 weeks to assess your results and make any refinements if needed. Full aftercare instructions are provided before you leave the clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dermal filler results last?
How long do dermal filler results last?
Results typically last between 9 and 18 months depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. Lip fillers generally last 6 to 12 months while cheek and jawline fillers tend to last longer. Your dermatologist will advise on expected longevity during your consultation.
How soon will I see results from dermal fillers?
How soon will I see results from dermal fillers?
Results are visible immediately after treatment. However, initial swelling can temporarily make the treated area appear slightly fuller than the final result. The true outcome becomes fully visible after 1 to 2 weeks once swelling has completely settled. We schedule a follow-up review at this point to assess results and make any refinements if needed.
Can dermal fillers be reversed?
Can dermal fillers be reversed?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers — the type we most commonly use — can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if a patient is unhappy with their results or experiences a complication. This is one of the key safety advantages of hyaluronic acid fillers over other filler types and is an important consideration in our product selection.
What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
Botox relaxes the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles — such as frown lines and crow's feet — by blocking nerve signals. Dermal fillers restore lost volume and structure to the face, smoothing static lines and enhancing facial contours. The two treatments address different concerns and are often used together as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.
