By Dr. TRACY MOUNTFORD on Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a popular option at our clinic for adding volume, and smoothing fine lines and tell-tale wrinkles.
We aim for a natural, soft airbrushed look that gives you a refreshed appearance that everyone will notice but only you will know why.
How do dermal fillers work? Fillers replace the skin’s natural supply of hyaluronic acid which diminishes as we age. This leads to skin becoming less firm, with fine lines appearing and that youthful glow fading. We only use premium FDA approved facial fillers at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic from reputable dermal filler brands like Juvéderm, Teosyal and Restylane. This creates a youthful and authentic look with exceptionally long-lasting results.
Dermal fillers are a safe and affordable treatment that can help restore a more youthful facial appearance.

Hyaluronic acid facial fillers immediately restore nutrients and lift to a person’s skin. Hyaluronic acid (HA) gel is skilfully injected into targeted areas of the skin by one of our experienced trained cosmetic medical practitioners.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are used to treat all areas of the face, from the upper and middle sections to the lower face:
Upper Face
Glabella Lines (lines between the eyebrows) – Glabella lines appear on your forehead in between your eyebrows and are often referred to as your eleven lines. Dermal filler glabella line treatment can help to create a temporary lift in the area that will smooth out the skin reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Forehead lines – Dermal filler is a great treatment to reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles on the forehead. Hyaluronic acid works to plump sunken skin and achieve a smoother appearance.
Crow’s Feet (wrinkles at the corner of the eyes) – The skin around our eyes is very delicate and thin which makes it much more vulnerable to developing fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal filler treatment for crows feet is a great way to visibly reduce the appearance eye wrinkles by filling in the fine lines resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Under Eye (tear troughs) – Address tired eyes and dark circles with our tear trough filler treatments. As we lose collagen and fat stores under our eyes, skin can become depressed and hollow, leading to shadows and dark circles forming. Our dermal filler eye treatments restore volume to this deflated area instantly, giving a youthful finish that rolls back the years.
Midface
Cheeks – Attain a volumised and hydrated look with our cheek fillers treatments, designed to minimise the appearance of sagging and drooping skin. This treatment can help give your cheeks a lift while addressing any hollowing or wrinkle formation that has occurred due to collagen, bone or fat loss.
Nasolabial Folds (nose to mouth lines) – Reduce smile lines and restore the lost volume with nasolabial fillers. This treatment softens the appearance of the nose to mouth lines and helps you to achieve a smoother, refreshed-looking appearance.
Nose – Reshape your nose for the better with our nose filler treatments. Instead of opting for surgical rhinoplasty, which involves significant amounts of downtime, we can help patients to contour and shape their nose by injecting hyaluronic acid into strategic points. We are able to decrease nostril size, narrow a nose bridge or minimise the appearance of dorsal humps with instant visible results.
Lower Face
Lips – Dermal lip filler treatment can help to increase volume into lips that are thin, improve lip definition and rejuvenate the lip area by filling fine lines that can develop around the mouth (lipstick lines). We pride ourselves on offering a safe clinic environment as the best place to get lip fillers London.
Dermal Fillers Marionette lines (lines between mouth and chin) – Dermal filler is very effective at treating deep wrinkles such as Marionette lines which can cause the mouth to look downturned and unhappy. Filling these deep lines will result in a smoother and more lifted appearance to this area of the lower face.
Chin – Reshape and recontour your chin with no pain and no downtime! A non-surgical chin augmentation with chin filler will help you achieve proportion and natural harmony to your face.
Jawline – Achieve a more defined or angular jawline, or lift loose, sagging skin by opting for our jawline filler treatments. This popular treatment for men and women is recommended for anti-ageing and facial rejuvenation by helping you to sculpt, tighten and lift your jawline to achieve a more flattering and chiselled appearance.
Ears
Earlobe rejuvenation – Rejuvenate and restore your earlobes’ youthful contour with our earlobe filler treatments. Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the earlobe area to restore lost volume, smooth-out fine lines and create a youthful look to your ears. The earlobe rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid dermal filler is a quick, simple procedure that requires no downtime and no invasive surgery!
Hyaluronic acid fillers can also be used to treat the neck and décolleté.
Dermal fillers offer a fantastic non-surgical route to instantly refresh and revitalise the skin without having to resort to invasive procedures like surgical facelifts. This has been highlighted recently by celebrities like Judy Murray, mum to tennis star Andy Murray, who has undergone a non-surgical facelift to target her turkey neck and sagging skin. With a non-surgical facelift, we can generate anti-ageing results in a similar way to surgery by carefully placing dermal fillers into hollow areas that have lost volume, or into areas of the face that have started to droop and sag due to a loss of collagen, elastin or fat stores. This enhances and lifts a person’s face with minimal intervention and maximum results.
As with all facial aesthetics treatments, the first step when considering dermal fillers is to have a detailed consultation with us. This stage is vital as it allows you to outline areas you want to be targeted and the practitioner can give details of the process, while providing advice and answering your queries.
Our guiding mantra is to create a look that is youthful yet natural. Whether this is smoothing fine lines, minimising the appearance of scars, defining or enhancing your lips, restoring lost facial volume, increasing hydration to your face, or earlobe rejuvenation treatments to minimise fine lines and fill-up sagging earlobes, we will talk you through the process and create a treatment plan that is bespoke to you.

We only use the safest, most effective FDA-approved, naturally biodegradable dermal fillers at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic London and Buckinghamshire. These are clear hyaluronic acid gels which closely mimic the natural hyaluronic acid in our skin. They are injected just beneath the surface of the skin and are one of the most popular treatments for filling and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid volumises, softens and hydrates the skin. It also aids collagen and elastin organisation underneath the skin which gives the skin a more youthful texture.
Dermal fillers are not permanent and will break down over time. All the fillers used at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic are made from hyaluronic acid, a natural component of our body and skin, which breaks down after around 9 to 18 months.
Further treatment may be required to maintain your natural, understated appearance. Your medical practitioner will give you all the advice you need.
Dependant on the treatment area, most patients typically start with a range of 0.5ml to 1ml filler to achieve a subtle, natural result with noticeable volume and definition enhancement. If you’re seeking a significant volume increase, we suggest a gradual approach through multiple treatments rather than an immediate injection of 2ml dermal filler. Our practitioners will provide you with all the guidance you need at your consultation.
Dermal filler can be used in the tear trough (under eye) area to reduce hollowing and dark circles under the eyes, resulting in a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Wrinkles around the eyes can be effectively treated using a combination of fillers, muscle relaxants and Ultherapy.
Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane restore lost volume to areas of the face by filling out fine lines and wrinkles. There is no evidence that these treatments make wrinkles worse; in fact, evidence suggests they can have a lasting effect on wrinkle reduction as the fillers today are clear hyaluronic gels which closely mimic the natural hyaluronic acid in our skin.
This depends on the type of needle used and experience of the injector. We recommend always picking an injector that is highly experienced in dermal fillers. Many injectors depending on the area will choose to use a blunt-tip cannula to minimise and add further safety to avoid breaking any blood vessels in the treatment area. Experienced practitioners will know how to avoid all blood vessels and therefore also minimise chance of bruising. Your practitioner can explain further at your consultation.
The short answer is, not at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic. Whether you end up with dermal filler pillow face is based on the amount of filler administered and the skill of the practitioner.
A personalised approach, considering individual facial anatomy, helps ensure that the results align with the client’s aesthetic goals while maintaining a harmonious and balanced appearance. Choosing a qualified practitioner and engaging in open communication during the consultation phase is essential to steer clear of the potential pitfalls associated with a pillow face filler outcome.
Yes, the injectable treatment Hyaluronidase or Hyalase can be used to remove dermal filler. It is injected into the dermal filler-treated area. As with hyaluronic acid, hyalase is naturally present in the body.
Injectable dermal filler can migrate from their injection sites to another area. The migration of fillers is extremely rare, and it can be prevented by choosing a qualified injector. Watch Dr Joanna Christou talk about dermal filler migration.
Millions of dermal filler treatments have been performed worldwide and are extremely safe and effective when injected properly, resulting in the most natural of differences.

Dermal Fillers injections usually take approximately 30 minutes. There is little or no downtime and you can resume normal activities right away.
There is no need for allergy testing because the fillers contain hyaluronic acid which naturally occurs in your skin anyway and is used in other medical treatments. If there is a little swelling, you can easily camouflage it with makeup.

Renowned for their instant anti-ageing effects, dermal filler can help to bring back volume and hydration and to smooth fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of ageing, but in a way that is subtle and natural looking.
At The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, we only use FDA-approved fillers that have been verified for their safety and efficacy. We use Juvéderm’s® famed range of fillers, including Juvéderm Hydrate, Volux, Volite and Teosyal. We also offer Restylane’s leading range of fillers, including Restylane lip fillers and Restylane Skin Boosters. Our trained clinicians will discuss your treatment goals and offer up the best type of filler to suit your own unique needs.
We treat patients of all ages with dermal filler. Some are in their 50s, 60s and older, who are concerned about looking the best they can at any age. However, dermal fillers are equally as popular with people in their 30s and 40s who are just starting to lose that initial glow of youth and the first lines starting to appear.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be used for volume restoration and contouring facial features. Hyaluronic acid volumisers can be injected into different layers of your skin to correct both volume loss and structural defects.
It is not simply the addition of volume, but correct placement of the volumiser will create excellent results in restoring a natural youthful appearance.
New Hyaluronic Acid gels with optimised properties are now available that respect our facial movements such as RHA4 Teosyal.
Hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal filler anti-wrinkle treatments are:
When HA is injected, it acts like an inflated cushion to support your facial structures and tissues that may have lost volume or elasticity due to normal ageing. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are applied to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, restore volumes and contours and create a balanced, natural look.
In some cases, the best results can be achieved through a combination treatment. For instance, dermal fillers can add lift and re-contour the face, while BOTOX injections can be used to help smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Ultherapy, a collagen stimulating technology can then be used to underpin by boosting the skin’s laxity by lifting and tightening the skin.
