Dermal Fillers
What are Dermal Fillers at Inner Glow Aesthetics?
At Inner Glow Aesthetics, our Dermal Filler treatments are focused on restoring youthful structure and balance. We specialise in using premium, hyaluronic acid-based gels to strategically lift, volumise, and contour the face. Our expert practitioners excel in advanced techniques like the 8-Point Lift and targeted enhancements for the cheeks, lips, and jawline, creating natural, harmonious results that refresh your entire appearance by addressing the root causes of ageing—volume loss and sagging.
Treatment Duration & Frequency at Our Clinic: Your bespoke filler journey begins with a detailed facial assessment. A targeted treatment (e.g., lips only) may take 30 minutes, while a comprehensive approach like an 8-Point Lift takes 45-60 minutes. Results last between 6-12 months, depending on the technique and area. We typically recommend annual maintenance sessions to sustain your beautifully sculpted profile.
How Long the Results Last: You will see a transformative lift and contour immediately. Final, settled results are clear after 2 weeks. Advanced structural techniques, which place support in deeper facial layers, tend to create longer-lasting results, often 6-12 months, by providing a foundational lift that slows the descent of facial tissues.
Downtime & Aftercare: Downtime is minimal. Post-treatment swelling, redness, or minor bruising is common and typically resolves within 3-7 days. Our specific aftercare plan includes avoiding pressure on treated areas, strenuous activity, and heat for 48 hours, and sleeping elevated to support the new facial architecture as it settles.
Main Benefits of Our Dermal Filler Techniques
Our targeted approach delivers comprehensive, structural rejuvenation:
The 8-Point Lift: A non-surgical facelift that strategically restores volume to eight key points in the mid and lower face, lifting sagging skin, softening deep folds, and restoring a heart-shaped facial contour.
Cheek Enhancement & Contouring: Restores lost volume in the mid-face, lifting the apples of the cheeks to rejuvenate the entire face and provide support to lower facial tissues.
Jawline Definition & Chin Augmentation: Sharpens a sagging or undefined jawline and improves chin projection for a stronger, more balanced, and youthful profile.
Lip Augmentation & Rejuvenation: Expertly adds volume, improves shape, and defines the lip border for a natural, balanced, and proportionate result.
Comprehensive Facial Harmony: Our philosophy prioritises balanced, natural-looking results that enhance your unique features and restore overall facial proportion.

-
Yes. The hyaluronic acid in our dermal fillers is biocompatible and biodegradable, meaning it is similar to substances found naturally in your body and will break down over time. We use only reputable, CE-marked brands with a long history of safety. The highest standard of safety is ensured by our expert practitioners' precise knowledge of facial anatomy and injection technique.
-
We prioritise your comfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and most modern fillers are pre-mixed with lidocaine, a local anaesthetic. You will feel a slight pinching or pressure sensation during the injections, but the procedure is generally very well-tolerated.
-
Results are visible immediately, though the final, settled result will be apparent after about 2 weeks, once any initial post-treatment swelling has fully subsided. This allows you to see the true, refined outcome of your treatment.
-
There is minimal social downtime. Common side effects like swelling, redness, and small bumps are most noticeable for 24-72 hours. Any minor bruising can take up to a week to fade but is easily concealable with makeup after 24 hours. Most clients return to their daily routines the following day.
-
To ensure optimal results and minimise swelling or bruising, we advise:
For 24-48 Hours: Avoid touching or massaging the treated area (unless instructed), strenuous exercise, excessive heat (sun, saunas), and alcohol.
Sleeping: Sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first few nights.
Avoid Pressure: Do not wear tight hats or glasses that press on treated areas for 2 weeks.
Medication: Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen (unless prescribed) for 24-48 hours post-treatment if possible.
