Dermal Fillers vs Botox: Which Treatment Fits You?

• Shaping and symmetry:

  The filler is gently smoothed and adjusted for balance. You can review the results immediately, and refinements can be made on the spot.

• Aftercare discussion:

  Before you leave, you’ll receive clear guidance on caring for your skin and what to expect in the following days.

The entire process, including consultation and treatment, usually takes 30–60 minutes, allowing most patients to return to normal activities the same day.

Cost of Dermal Fillers

Pricing varies based on:

• The number of areas treated
• The amount and brand of filler used
• The complexity of the treatment plan

At Bayswater Dental Clinic, single-area treatments generally start from £X00, with bespoke packages available for combined areas. A detailed quotation is always provided before any procedure begins.

Aftercare and Recovery

Our treatments are minimally invasive, and downtime is typically short. To promote smooth healing and long-lasting results, follow these simple aftercare steps:

• Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 12 hours.
• Refrain from strenuous exercise and excessive heat exposure (e.g., saunas or steam rooms) for 24–48 hours.
• Keep out of direct sunlight for several days.
• Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for 24 hours to reduce bruising.
• Sleep on your back with your head elevated the first night if possible.
• Apply a cool compress to manage mild swelling.
• Use gentle skincare products for a week and avoid chemical peels.

Most mild side effects, such as redness or puffiness, subside within 24–48 hours. Your clinician may invite you for a short follow-up visit to check the outcome and make any refinements if necessary.

Who Is Suitable for Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are suitable for adults looking to restore lost facial volume, contour certain features, or soften static lines. You may be an ideal candidate if you:

• Are in good overall health.
• Prefer non-surgical rejuvenation options.
• Have realistic expectations of your results.

You may be advised to postpone or avoid treatment if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Have an active skin infection or open wounds in the area.
• Have known allergies to filler ingredients.
• Take certain blood-thinning medications.

Our clinicians will discuss your medical history and determine if dermal fillers are safe and appropriate for you.

Alternatives to Dermal Fillers

For patients who may benefit from other approaches, we also offer several alternatives, including:

• Botulinum toxin injections (anti-wrinkle treatment): To relax expression lines caused by muscle movement.
• Skin resurfacing treatments: Such as chemical peels or laser therapy, to improve texture and tone.
• Thread lifts: To achieve subtle lifting without surgery.
• Fat transfer: For patients seeking natural volume restoration using their own tissue.

During your consultation, we’ll explore all available options to help you choose the best treatment for your goals and comfort level.
