Dermal Fillers

Restoring structure, balance and natural facial harmony

Dermal fillers are used to restore lost volume, support facial structure and improve overall balance. When performed with a considered, full-face approach, they can create subtle yet significant improvements, helping you look fresher, more rested and more like yourself.

Why consider dermal fillers?

You may wish to explore treatment if you have noticed:

• Loss of facial volume
• Flattening of the cheeks
• Deepening lines around the nose or mouth
• Loss of jawline definition
• Hollowing at the temples
• A general loss of facial support or structure

Ageing affects not just the skin, but the deeper structures of the face. Dermal fillers can help to restore this support in a natural, proportionate way.

A full-face approach

At Gray's Aesthetics, dermal filler treatment is never about treating a single line or area in isolation. Instead, I take a full-face approach, assessing how different areas work together to create balance and harmony. Often, small amounts placed in the right areas can make a significant difference.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels, typically based on hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found within the body. They restore volume, support facial structure, improve contour and definition, soften deeper lines and enhance facial balance. The aim is always natural, subtle improvement - never overcorrection.

Areas that may be treated

• Cheeks (mid-face support)
• Nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth)
• Marionette lines (downturned corners of the mouth)
• Jawline (definition and structure)
• Chin (projection and balance)
• Lips (subtle enhancement where appropriate)
• Temples (restoring volume and upper face support)

Temple filler – an advanced area

The temple is often overlooked, yet plays a key role in facial balance. Restoring volume in this area can improve upper face contour, support the brow area, reduce a hollow or sunken appearance and contribute to a more refreshed overall look. This is an advanced treatment and is only carried out following careful assessment.

How is it done?

Following consultation and facial assessment, a treatment plan is created, product is placed using needle or cannula (depending on the area), placement is precise and conservative, and results are assessed throughout. The focus is always on balance and proportion.

Downtime

You may experience mild swelling, tenderness and occasional bruising. These effects are usually temporary and settle within a few days.

A natural approach

My approach to dermal fillers is subtle, not obvious; structured, not overfilled; tailored, not standardised. The goal is always to enhance your natural features - not change them.

Not sure if this is right for you?

Dermal fillers are not always the first step. During consultation, we will assess your face as a whole and advise whether fillers, skin treatments or a combination approach would be most appropriate.
