Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore lost volume, soften lines and enhance features such as lips, cheeks, jawline and tear troughs. Most fillers we use at NewLife Aesthetics are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the skin and attracts water, helping to hydrate and gently lift the treated area.

Common areas include lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds (nose‑to‑mouth lines), marionette lines, jawline, chin and tear troughs under the eyes. We can also use dermal fillers for full‑face facial balancing and non‑surgical profile refinement, always with a focus on natural‑looking results.

When performed by an experienced medical practitioner using premium, CE‑marked products, hyaluronic‑acid dermal fillers have a strong safety record. At NewLife Aesthetics all injectable treatments are carried out in a clinical setting with strict infection‑control protocols, and we only recommend treatment when it is medically appropriate for you.

Most people describe dermal filler treatment as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. We use prescription numbing cream and many modern fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, so treatment at our Raynes Park clinic is usually very tolerable.

Longevity varies depending on the area treated, your metabolism and the specific product used. As a guide, lip fillers usually last around 6–9 months, while cheek, jawline and chin fillers often last 9–18 months before a maintenance treatment is needed.

You will see an improvement immediately after treatment, with the final result visible once any initial swelling or minor bruising has settled over the next few days. Most patients return to normal daily activities straight away, but we advise avoiding strenuous exercise, heat treatments and alcohol for 24–48 hours and following the aftercare plan we give you.

For a subtle tweak such as gentle lip definition or improving a small line, 1 ml can be enough. For full‑face balancing or treating several areas (for example cheeks, jawline and chin together), most patients need more product spread strategically to keep the result harmonious and long‑lasting – we’ll map this out clearly during your consultation so you know exactly what is recommended and why.

Yes. Hyaluronic‑acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down the filler much more quickly than it would naturally. This is a prescription‑only medicine and is only used when clinically indicated, but it provides an important safety net and is one reason we prefer HA fillers for most treatments.

Dermal filler treatment is tailored to your face and goals, so the number of syringes and total cost varies from person to person. We’ll provide a clear treatment plan and pricing at your consultation, and you can also view our latest dermal filler fees on our online Treatment Pricelist.

You may not be suitable for dermal fillers if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain allergies, are taking particular medications such as blood thinners, or have an active skin infection in the treatment area. Your full medical history will be reviewed at consultation and, if fillers are not appropriate, we will discuss safer alternatives such as skin boosters or regenerative treatments.

Dermal fillers add or restore volume and structure, while Botox (botulinum toxin) relaxes specific muscles to soften expression lines such as frown lines or crow’s feet. Many patients at our Raynes Park clinic choose a personalised plan that combines both treatments for a balanced, natural‑looking rejuvenation.

Dermal filler results depend heavily on the skill and judgment of your injector. NewLife Aesthetics brings over 30 years of experience in aesthetic medicine, uses only high‑quality filler brands and offers thorough consultations, honest advice and attentive aftercare for patients travelling from Raynes Park, Wimbledon, Kingston and across South‑West London.
