The Private Clinic’s top tips for dermal fillers
- Spend time researching the clinic. Do they have Trust Pilot 5 star rating?
- Research the safety and expertise of your dermal filler doctor.
- Make sure only the best dermal filler products are used: the type of dermal filler is important.
- Go slow, you can always have a top up filler later on.

The Consultation
A consultation is the best place to start when considering any type of treatment. A dermal filler consultation at The Private Clinic is a thorough discussion with one of our doctors, nurses or surgeons who will take the time to analyse your skin, go through your medical history and discuss your desired results. After your consultation you should feel confident and well informed about your treatment.
Your Dermal Filler Procedure
Dermal Fillers, made from Hyaluronic Acid, are the most popular volume enhancing treatments and are often used to reduce facial lines and to restore plumpness and volume to the lips and cheeks, defining the shape of your face. Producing safe, long-lasting and natural looking results, dermal fillers are a safe and effective cosmetic treatment when administered by a qualified practitioner.
There are many dermal fillers on the market that are substandard in terms of ingredients and quality. The Private Clinic uses only the highest quality brand of temporary fillers, including Galderma and Allergan which are renowned for their superior standards. And we only allow qualified and certified doctors and nurses to inject fillers.
Small amounts of dermal filler are injected directly into the skin using an ultrafine needle. The gel helps to plump up the skin, thereby smoothing out lines and wrinkles. If the lips or facial contours are being treated, the filler adds volume, restores shape and gives a fuller appearance. Our policy is ‘less is more’ so we will always aim to give you a natural, subtle look.
After your Dermal Fillers
There is no downtime after dermal filler treatment. You may experience some redness, bruising, swelling or tenderness after the treatment so it is best not to have the treatment before an event, party or occasion but these effects will all clear up within a fortnight.

FAQs
Dermal Fillers are made from Hyaluronic Acid which is found naturally in the body. Hyaluronic Acid absorbs moisture which creates a plumping effect which is why it is great for restoring areas that have lost volume. Different types of filler will have different levels of thickness which have all been designed to use in different areas of the face. At The Private Clinic we use a range of fillers and following a consultation with your doctor, nurse or surgeon they will be able determine the most suitable one to achieve the best possible results.
Hyaluronic acid, also known as also known as Hyaluronan, Hyaluronate or HA is a natural substance that is found in our body. Its main job is to attract and hold large quantities of moisture and is able to hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water which helps to hydrate the skin. It also acts as an antioxidant and removes unstable free radicals from the skin. Hyaluronic acid is also great at maintaining skin elasticity, cushioning the joints and nerve tissues and its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory functions are able to maintain the fluid in the tissues of the eye.
50 percent of hyaluronic acid is found in your skin and it is able to plump out the skin reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As we age the production of hyaluronic acid in our body slows down which as a result can affect the appearance and texture of our skin.
Hyaluronic acid can be injected into the dermis of the skin to fill and plump areas of the face which is known as dermal filler treatment. Click here to book a dermal filler consultation to find out more.
