Dermal Fillers at Bayswater Dental Clinic

Introduction

Dermal fillers are non-surgical treatments that help restore lost facial volume, soften static folds, and refine contours. At Bayswater Dental Clinic, we use safe, modern filler materials delivered by experienced clinicians to create a refreshed, balanced appearance. This page outlines how fillers function, what to expect, costs, aftercare, and more—so you can decide with clarity.

Treatment Process

Initial consultation: We begin with a detailed review of your facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic aims. We talk over product options and answer your questions.
Preparation: We cleanse the skin and mark the treatment zones. A topical numbing gel may be applied to increase your comfort.
Filler injection: A thin needle or cannula is used to inject the filler beneath the skin in controlled, measured amounts. We treat areas such as nasolabial folds, lips, cheeks, or jawline.
Sculpting and optimisation: Once injected, the filler is gently moulded to achieve symmetry and smoothness. You’ll be able to see early results immediately.
Final check and next steps: We review the outcome while you’re still in the chair and can make minor adjustments if needed. Follow-up advice is provided before you leave.

A full session from preparation to review typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas are treated.

Aftercare

Following your treatment, observe these guidelines to support healing and maximise results:

Avoid touching, rubbing or massaging treated areas for at least 12 hours.
Refrain from vigorous exercise, saunas, and excessive heat for 24–48 hours.
Use cold compresses gently to reduce swelling.
Avoid alcohol, and postpone taking anti-inflammatories unless prescribed.
Try sleeping with your head slightly elevated, and avoid sleeping face-down.
Stay out of strong sun and avoid tanning beds in the first week.
Use gentle skincare products; avoid harsh peels or exfoliants for a week.
Attend your review appointment to assess results and any needed adjustments.

Mild bruising, tenderness, or swelling is common and should fade within a few days. Contact us if you experience asymmetry, persistent lumps, or unusual discomfort.

Suitability

You may be a good candidate if you:

Are an adult in general good health.
Want to soften static lines or restore facial fullness.
Have realistic expectations and are willing to follow aftercare.

You might not be suitable if you:

We assess all medical history thoroughly at your initial consultation and advise accordingly.

Dermal Fillers - Alternatives and Complementary Options

Alternatives & Complementary Options

Botulinum toxin (Botox/anti-wrinkle injections) — ideal for dynamic lines caused by muscle movement.
Thread lifts — provide gentle lift using dissolvable sutures without filler.
Fat transfer — uses your own fat for a permanent volume solution (more invasive).
Skin resurfacing (laser, peels) — improves texture and tone but doesn’t restore deep volume.
Combination treatment — blending fillers with Botox or skin resurfacing often offers the best harmony.

We’ll discuss what combination or alternative is best suited during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do dermal fillers work?

Fillers are gel substances placed beneath the skin. They lift, support, and fill areas of volume loss or soft tissue depletion, thereby smoothing and contouring the face.
What materials are used?

The most common fillers use hyaluronic acid (a substance your body naturally contains). Others may include calcium-based or collagen-stimulating formulas, depending on needs.
Do the injections hurt?

Discomfort is generally mild. We use numbing agents and gentle techniques to ensure your comfort.
When will I see results?

You’ll notice changes immediately. Over the next few days, any swelling reduces and the outcome settles into its final form.
How long do results last?

Depending on the filler type and treated region, results usually last between 6 and 18 months, sometimes longer in favourable areas.
Can fillers be reversed?

Yes, many hyaluronic acid fillers can be safely dissolved with a specific enzyme if necessary.
Are there side effects?

Common minor effects include bruising, swelling, redness or tenderness at injection sites. Serious complications are extremely rare when treatment is done by qualified professionals.
How often will I need treatment?

Maintenance sessions are typically scheduled once the effect naturally diminishes, often around 6–18 months later.
