What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to restore volume, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial features for a youthful and rejuvenated appearance. At SP Beauty, we offer expertly administered dermal filler treatments that provide natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

As we age, the natural levels of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in our skin begin to decline. This loss contributes to sagging, fine lines, hollow areas, and reduced skin elasticity. Dermal fillers help to counteract these effects by injecting a gel-like substance beneath the skin’s surface.

Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and volume. Once injected, the filler instantly plumps the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and adding structure and definition where needed.

Common Treatment Areas

Dermal fillers can be used to treat multiple areas of the face, including:

Lips – Add volume, definition, and symmetry.
Cheeks – Restore lost volume and lift sagging skin.
Nasolabial folds – Soften the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
Marionette lines – Minimise the downward lines from the mouth to the chin.
Jawline & chin – Enhance contour and definition.
Under eyes (tear troughs) – Reduce the appearance of dark circles and hollowness.
Temple area – Replenish volume lost over time.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Clients choose dermal fillers for a variety of reasons, including:

Non-surgical solution with no need for general anaesthetic.
Quick procedure – most treatments take less than 45 minutes.
Minimal downtime – return to your daily activities right after your appointment.
Natural-looking results that enhance your features.
Reversible treatment (for HA-based fillers) if adjustments are needed.
Long-lasting effects, typically between 6 to 18 months depending on the area treated and the type of filler used.

Are Dermal Fillers Safe?

When administered by a qualified and experienced practitioner, dermal fillers are considered very safe. At SP Beauty, all filler treatments are carried out by trained professionals using premium, medically-approved products. We prioritise safety, comfort, and precision, ensuring you’re in expert hands throughout your experience.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Consultation: We’ll begin with a thorough consultation to discuss your goals, assess your facial anatomy, and determine the most suitable treatment plan for your desired outcome.
Treatment: The targeted areas will be carefully injected with filler. We use fine needles or cannulas to minimise discomfort and bruising.
Aftercare: You may experience slight swelling, redness, or tenderness post-treatment, which usually subsides within a few days. We provide full aftercare guidance to help you achieve the best possible results.

Is There Downtime?

There’s very little downtime with dermal fillers. Most clients return to their regular activities the same day. To reduce the risk of swelling or bruising, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat (like saunas or hot showers) for 24–48 hours post-treatment.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical, injectable treatment used to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Often made with hyaluronic acid — a naturally occurring substance in the body — dermal fillers offer a safe and effective solution for clients looking to rejuvenate their appearance with little to no downtime.

At SP Beauty, we specialise in delivering beautifully natural results tailored to each client’s unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. Whether you’re looking to refresh tired-looking eyes, plump thinning lips, or contour your jawline, dermal fillers can provide transformative yet subtle enhancements.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

As we age, our skin undergoes several changes. The production of collagen and elastin slows, fat pads in the face shift, and hyaluronic acid levels deplete. These changes can lead to volume loss, sagging skin, and the development of wrinkles and fine lines. Dermal fillers help counteract these signs of ageing by replenishing lost volume and stimulating the skin’s natural hydration.

When injected beneath the skin, dermal fillers create a lifting and plumping effect. Depending on the type of filler used and the treatment area, the results can range from soft and subtle to more structured and defined. The treatment is quick, relatively painless, and requires minimal recovery time, making it ideal for people with busy lifestyles.

What Can Dermal Fillers Treat?

Dermal fillers are incredibly versatile and can be used to target various aesthetic concerns. Common treatment areas include:

💋 Lips

Enhance lip volume
Define the cupid’s bow
Improve lip symmetry
Reduce “smoker’s lines” around the mouth

😊 Cheeks

Add volume to sunken cheeks
Lift and contour the mid-face
Improve facial balance

👃 Nasolabial Folds

Smooth the deep lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth

🙃 Marionette Lines

Lift the downward creases extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin

🧠 Temples

Replenish lost volume in hollow temple areas, which can restore balance to the upper face

👁 Tear Troughs

Brighten under-eye hollows and reduce the appearance of dark circles

🧔‍♂️ Jawline & Chin

Define the jawline
Project or shape the chin
Improve facial proportions

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are among the most requested aesthetic treatments — and for good reason. They offer a host of advantages for both men and women seeking non-invasive facial rejuvenation:

✅ Immediate results – You’ll see improvement right after your appointment.
✅ Non-surgical and minimally invasive – No scalpels or stitches involved.
✅ Customisable – Treatments are tailored to your specific facial structure and goals.
✅ Minimal downtime – Most clients return to normal activities the same day.
✅ Gradual and natural-looking – Enhancements are subtle, enhancing rather than altering your appearance.
✅ Hydrating effect – HA-based fillers boost skin hydration and elasticity.
✅ Reversible – Hyaluronic acid fillers can be safely dissolved if needed.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

At SP Beauty, your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. Here’s what you can expect from your dermal filler experience:

1. Comprehensive Consultation

We begin with a one-on-one consultation to understand your concerns, aesthetic goals, and medical history. Our experienced practitioner will assess your facial anatomy and recommend the most suitable treatment areas and products.

2. Preparation

The treatment areas will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort. Most dermal fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, to further minimise any discomfort during the procedure.

3. Treatment

Using a fine needle or cannula, the filler is precisely injected into targeted areas. The entire process typically takes between 30–60 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

4. Post-Treatment Care

Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness is normal and usually subsides within a few days. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and answer any questions you may have.

Are Dermal Fillers Safe?

Yes — when performed by a qualified and experienced professional, dermal fillers are a safe and effective treatment. At SP Beauty, we use only the highest quality, FDA-approved dermal filler products and adhere to strict hygiene and safety protocols.

Your practitioner will carry out a full consultation to ensure you are a suitable candidate and that there are no contraindications, such as allergies, skin infections, or underlying health conditions.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

The longevity of dermal fillers depends on a number of factors, including:

The type of filler used
The area treated
Your body’s metabolism
Lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, sun exposure)

On average, most dermal fillers last 6 to 18 months. Areas with less movement, like the cheeks or jawline, tend to retain filler longer than areas like the lips or around the mouth.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?

You may be a great candidate for dermal fillers if you:

Are looking to reduce signs of facial ageing
Want to enhance your natural features
Prefer non-surgical solutions
Are in good overall health
Have realistic expectations

Dermal fillers are suitable for adults of various ages — from those in their 20s looking for contouring or volume, to those in their 40s, 50s, and beyond seeking rejuvenation and anti-ageing benefits.

Aftercare Tips

To ensure the best possible outcome, follow these post-treatment recommendations:

Avoid touching or massaging treated areas for 24 hours
Stay upright for at least 4 hours after your procedure
Refrain from strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours
Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and excessive heat
Reduce alcohol and salt intake to minimise swelling
Sleep with your head elevated for the first night

Should you experience any unusual side effects or concerns, our team is just a call or message away.
