Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore volume, soften selected folds and refine facial contours. Most fillers used at NewLife Aesthetics contain hyaluronic acid. The treating practitioner selects the product, amount and placement following an assessment of your features and goals. Filler can change the appearance of a suitable area, but it cannot address every type of line or skin concern.

Common areas include the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, nose-to-mouth folds and marionette lines. Under-eye hollows and nose-shape concerns require particular caution and individual assessment; filler may not be appropriate. Your consultation will focus on the cause of your concern and the options suited to your anatomy. Learn more about facial volume loss .

A natural-looking result starts with a plan based on your facial proportions and the degree of change you want. You can tell your practitioner if you prefer a subtle result, and they can explain what is achievable and how much product they recommend. Results vary, and no particular appearance can be guaranteed.

There is no fixed amount that suits everyone. The amount depends on the area, your existing facial structure, any previous filler and the result you hope to achieve. A small, targeted treatment and a plan involving several facial areas may need different amounts. Your practitioner should explain the proposed product, quantity and total cost before you decide whether to proceed.

A change may be visible soon after treatment, although swelling can temporarily affect how the area looks. Longevity varies with the product, treatment area and individual factors; filler may also remain in the tissue longer than an expected cosmetic result is visible. Your practitioner will explain when to assess the settled result and whether follow-up may be appropriate.

Many people resume their usual routine, but temporary swelling, tenderness or bruising can occur. How noticeable these effects are, and how long they last, varies by person and treatment area. If you have a wedding, holiday or another important event, discuss the timing with your practitioner before booking. Follow the specific aftercare instructions you receive at the clinic.

Possible effects include swelling, bruising, tenderness and an uneven result. Infection and other complications can also occur. A rare but serious complication involves interruption of the blood supply to tissue; vision problems are also possible. Your treating practitioner should explain the risks relevant to your treatment, how complications are managed and how to contact the clinic promptly if something concerns you afterwards.

Suitability depends on your medical history, the treatment area and the proposed product. An active infection or inflammation near the injection site, certain allergies, medicines, or pregnancy or breastfeeding may mean treatment is postponed or not advised. Tell your practitioner about previous fillers and any medical conditions. Cosmetic filler injections for under-18s are prohibited in England.

Hyaluronic acid filler can sometimes be treated with hyaluronidase, an enzyme used by an appropriately qualified clinician when indicated. Dissolving is a separate clinical decision with its own considerations; it should not be treated as a guarantee that any result can be instantly or completely reversed. Ask which product is proposed and how concerns or complications would be managed before treatment.

Dermal fillers are primarily used to add or restore volume and refine selected contours. Botox is a prescription-only botulinum toxin treatment used to relax specific muscles responsible for certain expression lines. They address different concerns, and neither is automatically the right option for every wrinkle. Read about our Botox and anti-wrinkle consultations or discuss both options at your appointment.

The cost depends on the area treated, the product and the amount recommended. NewLife Aesthetics publishes prices for treatments including lips, cheeks, chin and jawline on its treatment price list . Your practitioner should confirm the proposed treatment and total cost during consultation before you decide whether to proceed.
