Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are popular treatments for wrinkles and facial lines.
Dermal fillers are used mostly for:
- naso labial lines
- lines in the corners of the mouth
- hollow or sunken cheeks
- to increase fullness to narrow lips
Treatments are quick and the results are immediate. Make-up can be applied immediately afterwards and you can go straight back to work.
Nowadays most patients prefer natural appearing results rather than a surgical appearance. Over the past 25 years The Private Clinic has specialised in the most successful and natural looking treatments to restores a youthful shape to the face and halts the pull of gravity.

What dermal fillers do you use?
At The Private Clinic we use today’s most trusted and effective dermal fillers from worldwide renowned brands including:
- Q-Med well known Restylane™ Perlane™ Vital™ and SubQ™ - the world’s most popular dermal fillers with over 10 million treatments carried out worldwide since 1996.
- Restylane Lipp™ - also from QMed it is specifically designed to improve the lips’ shape and definition. It is especially popular amongst smokers or ex-smokers who, over time, have developed fine lines around the lip area and with people with thin lips.
- Teosyal - Manufactured in Switzerland, Teosyal is an Award Winning “100% hyaluronic acid based”, wrinkle-filling products.
- Juvederm® - from Allergan, the makers of Botox. As there is more than one face, Juvederm comes in three different formulations for more customised results. From moderate lines to deeper wrinkles and folds, Juviderm helps to restore the skin’s natural look. It includes an added anaesthetic, which makes it a painless treatment.
As we use a variety of different fillers, during your free skin assessment we can advice the solution most suitable to your skin type and the results you aim to achieve.
How does the treatment work?
The filler is injected directly into the skin in small amounts by an ultrafine needle. The gel produces volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted up and smoothed out. When enhancing lips or facial contours, Restylane Lipp is used to add volume and shape to the treated area.
Less is more. The trick is not to look “done”, but to achieve a natural look.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most people find the injections relatively painless. Most dermal fillers nowadays include an added anaesthetic, which makes it a painless treatment.
Is it safe?
While some dermal fillers are derived from animal substances, the hyaluronic acid in all fillers we use is non-animal. This limits any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reactions.
How long does the treatment take?
The treatment generally takes 30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
As our dermal fillers do not require an allergy test and can be administered immediately, there is no waiting for treatments.
Dermal fillers work instantly so you will see the results straightaway.
Is there any downtime?
No, you can resume normal activities immediately.
Are there any side effects?
Immediately after the treatment, you can expect slight redness, swelling, tenderness or an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection.
However mineral make-up can be applied immediately after the procedure.
How long will the effects last?
The improvement you will achieve from the procedure will last anywhere between 9 and 13 months. You will notice a gradual fading of its effect, at which point you may return for a new treatment.
How much does it cost?
Treatments start from £180. However, the exact price depends on the amount required and number of areas to be treated, all of which can be determined only after your free consultation.
Please be aware that not all physicians have the level of experience required. Advanced injection techniques and correct product placement can significantly lower the frequency of touch up treatments, as well as the amount of product required in subsequent touch ups to maintain results.
At The Private Clinic the treatment will be carried out by doctors and nurses who each have extensive experience in this field.
