Dermal Filler
Subtle volume where it actually solves the concern.
Hyaluronic-acid filler placed where it actually solves the concern — restoring midface volume, defining a jawline, balancing a profile, softening nasolabial folds, refining lips. Emily works conservatively: less in the first session, review at two weeks, top-up only if needed. Reversible if you change your mind.
What to expect.
Numbing cream first, then 20–30 minutes of focused work. You'll feel pressure rather than sharp pain — Emily uses a cannula for tear-trough and midface to keep bruising minimal. You'll see the result immediately, but the final settled look takes about two weeks as the product integrates and any swelling resolves. Bring zero plans for the rest of the day; you'll leave a bit pink and possibly with mild bruising.
Results timeline.
Immediate volume visible the day of treatment, but 60–80% of what you see at week one is swelling. The true result emerges between days 10 and 14 once the filler has integrated. Most areas hold 9–12 months for first-time treatments; lip, tear-trough, and chin work tends to last 6–9 months. A two-week review is included so any asymmetry can be addressed before you leave the course.
Questions, answered.
What does Dermal Filler actually do to the skin?
Laser skin rejuvenation stimulates collagen and elastin production at a controlled depth below the surface. The visible change is smoother texture, more even tone, reduced fine lines, and improved luminosity — gradual but durable. It doesn't tighten like surgery; it improves skin quality. Think of it as optimising the canvas, not changing the face.
How long until I see results?
Subtle glow and smoothness appear within 7–14 days of the first session. Collagen remodelling takes longer — the full result from a 3–4 session course shows up 3–6 months after the final treatment. It's a slow-burn treatment; if you want dramatic immediate change, this isn't it. If you want your skin to age better, this is exactly it.
How many sessions do I need?
Most clients see meaningful results from a 3–4 session course, spaced Top-up at 2-week review if needed; refresh every 9–12 months. Single sessions produce visible but temporary glow; the structural improvement (texture, tone, collagen density) comes from the course. Emily will recommend a count at consultation based on your skin's current state and goals — sometimes 3 is enough, sometimes 6 is better.
Does it hurt?
Mild heat and a prickling sensation across the treated area. Most clients describe it as 'warm and tingly' rather than painful. The face and small areas go quickly (10–15 minutes of active treatment); larger areas take longer. Redness for a few hours afterwards is normal; a little pinkness the next morning is possible, usually settled by the evening.
Are there medications or conditions that rule me out?
Active tan, recent sun exposure, Roaccutane in the last six months, photosensitising medications, and pregnancy are the main pauses. Certain skin conditions (active acne flare, cold sore in the treated area, recent chemical peel) require rescheduling. Emily runs a health screen at consultation; most clients are straightforwardly suitable.
Can I combine Dermal Filler with facials?
Yes — with spacing. Book facials either 1 week before or 2 weeks after a rejuvenation session so the skin isn't doing two things at once. Many clients alternate: one rejuvenation session, a couple of facials for maintenance, another rejuvenation session. Emily will sequence the plan with you at consultation.
Who's the ideal candidate?
Clients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who want to improve skin quality proactively — texture, fine lines, tone, dullness, early sun damage. Younger clients (late 20s) with specific concerns (acne scarring, pigmentation) also benefit. It's not the right treatment for deep wrinkles (those need different tools) or for clients with very active acne (treat that first).
