What is it?
Hyaluronic acid filler replaces volume that has been lost, or adds definition where the underlying structure is soft. It works immediately, and it holds water, so the area looks fuller and better lit rather than simply bigger.
We plan by where the light falls on your face, not only by where the hollow is. One cc placed well usually reads better than three placed evenly, and hyaluronic acid can be dissolved if you change your mind, which is a real comfort at a first appointment.
Suitable for
- Cheeks that have flattened
- Deep smile lines
- A chin or jawline that needs definition
- Lips, kept in proportion
- Hollows that make you look tired
Good to know
Swelling for a few days is normal and small bruising is possible. Under eye work is the most technical area on the face, so we assess it carefully and sometimes recommend a different treatment instead.
THE FILLER GUIDE
Natural volume. Balanced you.
Dermal fillers are gel like substances, most commonly made of hyaluronic acid, used to restore volume, smooth lines and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, which is what makes it a safe and effective choice for facial rejuvenation.
Instant volume
Results are visible right away, not weeks later.
Enhances what you have
It plumps lips, lifts cheekbones and fills hollows such as under eyes.
Improves contours
Chin and jawline definition come from structure, not from more product.
Adjustable
Hyaluronic acid can be adjusted or dissolved if you change your mind.
HOW MUCH IS NEEDED
How much filler for each area.
The amount depends on the area and on your own goals. These are the usual ranges, not a quote. Your doctor confirms the amount after examining you.
| Area | Usual amount |
|---|---|
| Lips | 1 - 2 cc |
| Under eyes | 1 - 2 cc |
| Chin | 1 - 2 cc |
| Temples | 2 - 4 cc |
| Nasolabial folds | 1 - 2 cc |
| Marionette lines | 1 - 2 cc |
| Cheeks | 2 - 4 cc |
| Jawline | 2 - 4 cc |
The amount needed varies with individual anatomy and the result you want.
How long before results show?
Fillers give immediate results. You may have some swelling or bruising for the first few days, and the final result usually settles within seven to fourteen days.
How long do fillers last?
Longevity depends on the area, the product used and your own lifestyle. Generally results last anywhere from six to twelve months.
