Dermal Fillers
Restore volume, smooth lines, improve symmetry.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore or enhance volume, improve facial proportions and soften the appearance of lines and contours. The dermal fillers used in our clinic contain hyaluronic acid; a substance naturally found within the body that can attract and retain water. At ESA Aesthetics, our approach is focused on subtle, natural-looking results.
Treatment areas
- Tear trough augmentation to reduce under-eye hollows
- Lip augmentation to add subtle volume
- Line filler for lines to the side of the nose and mouth
- Volume restoration to the cheeks, chin and jawline
Lip Filler
Lip filler can be used to subtly enhance the shape, definition and hydration of the lips. Treatment may help to improve definition, enhance natural shape, restore reduced volume, and create subtle fullness while maintaining natural movement.
Cheek Filler
Used to restore volume in the mid-face lost with age, medication side effects or weight loss. Careful placement complements natural contours and can improve the appearance of sagging in the lower face and lines around the nose and mouth.
Chin Filler
Chin filler is used to subtly enhance the shape and projection of the chin, improving overall facial balance and side profile without creating an exaggerated result.
Tear Trough Filler
Used to reduce the appearance of hollows beneath the lower eyelids. An assessment is essential as filler may not improve dark circles caused by pigmentation or visible blood vessels, and can sometimes highlight puffiness.
How do dermal fillers work?
A gel-like solution is introduced beneath the skin using a needle or cannula. The filler provides structure and volume, while hyaluronic acid attracts water for a hydrated appearance. Our philosophy is 'less is often more', sometimes involving a staged approach for optimal results.
Possible side effects and risks
- Common: swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, itching, minor bleeding
- Uncommon: infection, persistent lumps, asymmetry, prolonged swelling, changes in skin pigmentation
- Rare but serious: vascular occlusion (blood vessel entry), extremely rare vision complications
Longevity and Maintenance
The longevity of dermal filler varies depending on the product, treatment area, individual metabolism and other factors. We recommend assessing your results and treating only when appropriate rather than at fixed intervals.
