Dermal fillers are a great way to help soften facial creases and wrinkles, plump up thin lips, and enhance shallow facial contours. The injectable treatment uses Hyaluronic Acid which is injected into the skin to enhance facial features. We have a great team of expert aesthetic doctors and nurses who are highly knowledgable in dermal filler treatments having years of experience.

Choosing a dermal filler clinic and practitioner near you for the first time can be difficult so here are a couple of top tips when it comes to choosing a clinic or practitioner:

1 – Choose a safe medical provider

You may be surprised to know that dermal filler can actually be brought and injected by anybody whether they have any medical qualifications or not. Dermal filler is currently unregulated on the UK market unlike botox which can only be prescribed by a qualified doctor or prescribing nurse – although it can still legally be injected by people with no medical training whatsoever.

We recommend that dermal filler (and botox) is only injected by a medical professional which includes doctors and nurses. You can check a practitioner’s qualification by looking them up on the website of their relevant governing body. For example the General Medical Council (GMC) or the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).

Not only should you be choosing a medical professional, but more importantly you should be choosing a medical professional who has had sufficient additional cosmetic training in dermal filler treatment. With proper training, they should have been mentored by an expert and completed 50 – 100 procedures. You can check for professional body membership such as the British College of Aesthetic Medicine (BCAM) or the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses (BACN).

2 – Have a consultation

A consultation with one of our medical experts is a great way to find out more about dermal filler treatment. You will be able to discuss your areas of concern and our doctors or nurses will be able to advise on the best treatment to help you achieve your desired goals.
Dermal filler can be used for;

• Lip Filler – Enhancing the volume of the lips and removing smokers lip lines
• Cheek Filler – Defining the cheek bone
• Tear Trough Filler – Reducing the appearance of dark circles and the hollow look
• Chin Filler – Reshaping the jawline
• Non-Surgical Nose Job – Reshaping the nose to reduce any imperfections such as lumps or bumps
• Nose to mouth lines/Nasolabial Lines – Soften the appearance of folds that appear from your nose to your mouth
• 8 Point Lift – A non-surgical facelift performed using dermal filler in eight strategic lifting points
• Hand Filler – Rejuvenate the appearance of ageing hands

The majority of reputable clinics will offer free consultations to patients seeking dermal filler treatment.  There should be no pressure to have the treatment at the end of the free consultation.

Dermal Filler consultations at The Private Clinic are available at our clinics in London Harley Street, Birmingham, Buckinghamshire, Leeds, Manchester and Northampton.

3 – Do you research

When you find a clinic or professional that you are considering visiting. Check to see if they have a website, social media page or ask friends/family for recommendations. You should be able to see before and after photos and patient reviews from the clinic or provider which will give you an idea of what to expect from the treatment.

4 – Book a follow up

Once you have treatment, we recommend booking a follow up for at least 2 weeks post treatment. This allows you to return to the clinic free of charge to make sure that everything is okay. Any dissatisfaction you may have with the filler treatment can be discussed and any additional treatment can be performed to rectify this. If it comes close to the time of your check-up appointment and you are satisfied with the results of your treatment then many patients choose to cancel this and get back in touch when they want the treatment again. If you do choose to cancel be sure to give plenty of notice however as your time slot could be given to someone else.

5 – Keep it clinical

Dermal filler treatment should be carried out in a safe and hygienic establishment that is well equipped with suitable standards. We would advise patients to be cautious of providers offering dermal filler treatment at home and at parties which are not suitable places to have treatment.
