Dermal fillers at our Skin Clinic are injectable substances used to enhance facial features or restore volume loss by filling in wrinkles, lines, and folds.
They can also be used to augment lips and cheeks. The most common types of dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, but there are also other types made of different materials. The effects of dermal fillers are temporary and typically last several months to a year or more, depending on the type used and the area treated.
- Used For – Reducing deep folds and wrinkles, jowls, nose-to-mouth lines, ‘sad smile’ lines, tired-looking eyes, and sagging face, replacing volume in the face that is lost naturally through ageing from 30yrs+, creating a definition in the jawline.
- Procedure – After numbing, a blunt cannula to place filler with only a couple of needle entry points makes procedures a lot more comfortable than multiple injections.
Treatments Possible:
- Cheeks contouring/ recolonisation
- Lips contour/ revolumisation
- Peri-oral line softening
- Jawline definition
- Non-surgical nose reshaping
- Tear trough (tired eyes)
- Temple – volumising temple hollow

- Product – Hyaluronic acid filler Teosyal Teoxane RHA brand – premium and ‘natural-looking’.
- Results – Immediate, individual results may vary and last up to 9-12 months.
- Appointment Time – 45 mins.
Common Concern
I don’t want to look puffy/ overfilled/ fake/ like I have had filler
Dr Swift specialises in producing natural, almost undetectable results. Fillers should be used to make it unnecessary to contour with makeup and should leave you looking refreshed and natural. The results should be undetectable to the untrained eye. Her patients often say their friends have asked if they are using a new highlighter on their cheekbones or comment that they look ‘well rested’. If performed well, dermal filler treatments are the ‘no makeup’ makeup.
