A Clear Guide to Dermal Fillers at Bayswater Dental Clinic

Introduction

Dermal fillers are non-surgical injectable treatments that help restore facial volume, soften lines, and accentuate contour. At Bayswater Dental Clinic, we focus on safe, evidence-based filler techniques to create natural, balanced results. This guide helps you understand what fillers do, how treatment works, and whether it’s right for you.

Treatment Process

Consultation & Customization

We analyze your facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. We’ll explain which regions can be treated, suggest appropriate filler types, and set realistic expectations.

Preparation

The skin is cleaned, and a numbing gel or local anaesthetic is applied to reduce discomfort.

Filler Placement

Using fine needles or cannulas, filler is delivered into the dermal or subdermal layers in targeted spots. We proceed gradually, building volume where needed.

Sculpting & Adjustment

After the injection, we gently massage and shape the area to help smooth transitions and even out any irregularities. We inspect from multiple angles to ensure symmetry.

Final Check & Aftercare Plan

You’ll see an early improvement immediately, though minor swelling may mask final contours. Before you leave, we review the expected healing process and schedule a follow-up if needed.

A typical session lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on how many zones are treated.

Cost

To receive an accurate, personalised cost for your dermal filler treatment, you will need to call the clinic. Prices vary based on the product used, volume needed, and complexity of treatment.

Aftercare

To support healing and optimise the filler outcome:

Avoid touching, pressing, or pinching treated areas for at least 12 hours
Skip vigorous exercise, steam rooms, and heat exposure for 24–48 hours
Use cool compresses gently to reduce swelling or bruising
Sleep with your head elevated if possible the first night
Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications on day one
Stay out of intense sun and avoid tanning beds for several days
Use gentle skincare; delay exfoliants and harsh treatments for a week
Attend any scheduled follow-up to assess and refine results

Mild swelling, redness, and tenderness are common and usually fade within a few days. If you notice lumps, uneven patches, or prolonged discomfort, contact us immediately.

Suitability

You may be suitable if you:

Are generally healthy
Experience facial volume loss or persistent lines
Seek non-surgical facial enhancement
Have realistic expectations

You may not be suitable if you:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have active skin infection, inflammation, or open wounds
Are allergic to filler ingredients
Use significant blood thinners or have bleeding disorders

During your consultation we’ll review your medical history, skin condition, and goals to confirm whether filler treatment is appropriate for you.

Alternatives & Complementary Options

Botulinum toxin (anti-wrinkle injections) — best for dynamic muscle-caused lines
Thread lifts — use dissolvable sutures to lift sagging tissue
Fat grafting — uses your own fat for volume (more invasive)
Surgical implants or structural augmentation — for long-term alterations
Skin resurfacing / tightening — laser, ultrasound or radiofrequency to enhance tone
Combination approaches — fillers plus Botox or skin rejuvenation often perform better together

In your appointment we'll discuss whether filler alone or in combination fits your facial goals best.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do dermal fillers work?

Fillers are gel-based substances injected under the skin to restore volume, lift tissues, and smooth folds caused by ageing or loss. Some also stimulate collagen growth for lasting effect.
When will I see results?

You’ll see an immediate improvement. As swelling settles over the next few days, the contours refine to their final form.
How long will the results last?

Duration depends on the filler type, treated area, and individual metabolism. Many results last between 6 and 18 months.
Does treatment hurt?

Discomfort is minimal. We use numbing agents and precise techniques to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
Can filler be reversed?

Yes — many hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be dissolved safely if adjustment is required.
What side effects are common?

Temporary bruising, swelling, redness, or tenderness are normal and resolve quickly. Rare risks include lumps, asymmetry, or vascular complications.
Will I need more than one session?

Typically one session is enough for initial results. A minor follow-up after 1–2 weeks may be offered to perfect symmetry.
Will people notice?

We aim for subtle enhancement. Others may notice you look more refreshed or balanced, not that you've had work done.
