Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid filler treatments to restore volume, refine contour and smooth lines — delivered by NHS-trained Advanced Clinical Practitioners with a safety-first, consultation-led approach.
What is dermal filler?
Dermal filler is a thin or thick jelly-like substance which is injected under the surface of the skin. It is made up of hyaluronic acid (HA) and contains ingredients which support rehydration and re-plumping of the areas where it is injected.
HA molecules can hold a large volume of water and, as a result, replenish volume loss and stimulate fibroblasts to produce their own collagen — which further enhances the results. Consequently, the client has less lines and more volume.
Treatment Areas
Where can it be injected?
Dermal filler can be injected into many areas, including buttocks, cheeks, jaw, nose, around the mouth, lips, under eyes and more.
At SkinLab, we are trained to administer dermal filler into the marionette lines (lines from mouth to chin), naso-labial lines (lines from the nose to either side of the mouth) and the lips.
What to expect
Common questions
Is dermal filler safe?
The dermal filler we use in clinic is approved and safe. Your practitioner will assess your suitability at consultation and talk through any risks or aftercare relevant to your treatment.
How long does dermal filler last?
Studies have shown in general it lasts 9–12 months, however more recent research suggests it can actually still be there many years later. We say a minimum of 9–12 months — and it may last longer.
Why might someone need dermal filler?
Dermal filler is often used to plump out the skin which has either sunken or developed deep lines during the ageing process — such as smokers lines above the lips, lips which have lost volume or are developing creases, and marionette or naso-labial lines.
If I don't like the filler, can it be removed?
Yes. A drug can be injected to dissolve the dermal filler. Please note that if you have previously had dermal filler in that area, the dissolving drug will dissolve all the filler in that area once injected.
