As we age, we lose natural HA, collagen, and fat, leading to volume loss, sagging, and deep wrinkles. Fillers restore this lost volume by adding structure beneath the skin, creating plumper contours, smoother deep lines, enhanced facial features, and an overall lifted, refreshed appearance. For dynamic expression lines on the forehead, between the brows or around the eyes, our anti-wrinkle injections (https://valelaser.co.uk/treatments/anti-wrinkle-injections) are a complementary treatment often combined with fillers for full-face rejuvenation. Looking specifically for lip augmentation (https://valelaser.co.uk/treatments/lip-augmentation)? We offer a dedicated lip filler service with bespoke shaping, natural-looking volume, and expert technique. Popular Filler Brands Juvéderm® Restylane® Belotero® Teosyal® Each brand offers different formulations for specific areas and purposes. Results are immediate and continue improving over the following weeks as the filler integrates and stimulates collagen. Image: Dermal filler before and after comparison (https://valelaser.co.uk/assets/dermal-fillers-what-BsdWEVup.jpg) How They Work When strategically injected into specific areas, HA fillers: - Instantly restore volume where it's been lost - Attract and bind water for natural-looking plumpness - Stimulate collagen production over time - Provide structural support to lift and contour - Smooth deep wrinkles that anti-wrinkle injections can't address Real Results ## Real Dermal Filler _Results_ Results shown 2 weeks post-treatment after swelling has resolved.

Contact Us: https://valelaser.co.uk/contact Is It Right For You? ## Are Dermal Fillers _Right for You?_ Image: Mature client considering dermal filler treatment (https://valelaser.co.uk/assets/dermal-fillers-candidate-BZepb2Sh.jpg) Ideal Candidates - Anyone experiencing facial volume loss from ageing - Those with deep lines and folds (nasolabial, marionette) - People wanting to enhance features (cheeks, lips, jawline) - Individuals seeking non-surgical facial contouring - Those with hollowing under eyes (tear troughs) - Anyone wanting to restore youthful facial proportions - People seeking immediate results without surgery or downtime Age Range 20s-30s Enhancement (lips, cheeks, jawline) rather than volume replacement 40s-50s Volume restoration plus enhancement — most popular age to start 60s+ Significant volume restoration for comprehensive rejuvenation **Realistic Expectations:** Swelling is normal (2 weeks to settle). Results last 6-18 months. Best results often come from combining with other treatments. All genders • All skin types • First-time and experienced clients welcome When Not Suitable - Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals - Active skin infections or cold sores in treatment area - Severe allergies to hyaluronic acid (extremely rare) - Those with bleeding disorders - Dynamic wrinkles only (need anti-wrinkle injections instead) - Significant skin laxity (needs skin tightening treatments) Regenerative Add-On ## Polynucleotides — _Bio-Regeneration from Within_ From £120 per session Polynucleotides are highly purified, biocompatible DNA fragments that work as a biostimulator — signalling your cells to repair tissue, stimulate collagen and elastin, and deliver naturally radiant, healthier skin. A perfect complement to dermal fillers for clients seeking regenerative results rather than added volume. ### How They Work Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, polynucleotides act as an "instruction manual" for your cells — activating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that heal scarring and reduce hyperpigmentation. ### Common Applications - • Rejuvenate the under-eye area (dark circles, hollowness) - • Soften fine lines, wrinkles & acne scarring - • Improve skin texture, tone & laxity - • Support scalp health and hair restoration ### What to Expect A short course of typically 3 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart, builds cumulative results. Because polynucleotides rely on your body's natural regenerative processes, improvements develop gradually over several weeks — and are known for looking exceptionally natural. Suitability is confirmed during your free consultation. Polynucleotides pair beautifully with dermal fillers for clients seeking both structural support and long-term skin quality.

With numbing cream or dental block, you'll feel pressure and pushing sensation, mild discomfort during injection, and it's generally very tolerable. Most painful areas are lips and tear troughs. Least painful are cheeks and jawline. Most clients describe it as manageable and worth it for the results." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How long do dermal fillers last?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Duration varies by area and product. Shorter duration (6-9 months): lips and tear troughs. Medium duration (9-12 months): nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Longer duration (12-18 months): cheeks, jawline, and chin. Factors include individual metabolism, area treated, type of filler, amount injected, and lifestyle. Most clients return every 9-18 months." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Are results immediate?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — you'll see results instantly, but also visible swelling. Immediately after: visible volume and enhancement, plus swelling that looks exaggerated. After 2 weeks: swelling resolved, true results visible. After 4 weeks: optimal results achieved, collagen stimulation beginning. While results are instant, final results take 2-4 weeks to fully develop." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Will I look overdone or unnatural?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Not when done correctly! The \"overfilled\" look happens when too much filler is used, wrong filler type chosen, poor injection technique, or unrealistic expectations encouraged. Our approach uses conservative, gradual enhancement, respects your natural facial anatomy, uses appropriate products for each area. Philosophy: \"Your face, just better.\"" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can dermal fillers be reversed?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — one of their biggest safety advantages! Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase. If you're unhappy with results, filler can be dissolved immediately, taking 24-48 hours for complete dissolution. If complications occur, emergency dissolution is possible. This reversibility provides peace of mind that surgery or permanent fillers don't offer." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What's the difference between fillers and Botox?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Completely different treatments. Fillers add volume and structure, treat static wrinkles (lines at rest), results are instant, last 6-18 months. Botox relaxes muscles, treats dynamic wrinkles (lines from movement), results develop over 7-14 days, last 3-4 months. Many clients combine both: Botox for upper face, fillers for mid-lower face." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Will I bruise?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Bruising is possible but not guaranteed (40-60% of clients). High-risk areas: lips, under eyes, nasolabial folds. Lower-risk: cheeks, jawline. To minimise: avoid blood thinners 5-7 days before, no alcohol 24-48 hours before/after, arnica supplements, ice after treatment, cannula technique. Even with bruising, it typically resolves within 5-10 days." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How much filler will I need?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Varies greatly. Typical amounts: lips 0.5-1ml (subtle) to 1-2ml (fuller), nasolabial folds 1-2ml total, cheeks 2-4ml total, tear troughs 0.5-1ml per side, jawline 2-4ml total. Conservative approach: start with less, assess results, add more at follow-up if desired. Your practitioner will recommend appropriate amounts during consultation." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I combine fillers with other treatments?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes! With Botox: complementary treatments, can be done same day. With skin boosters (Profhilo): fillers add structure, skin boosters improve quality — can be done same day. With laser or peels: space by 2-4 weeks. With PDO threads: consult practitioner about timing. Always inform your practitioner about all treatments you're considering." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "When should I start getting fillers?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No single \"right\" age. 20s-30s: enhancement (lips, cheeks, jawline) rather than volume replacement. 40s-50s: most popular age, noticeable volume loss but not extreme, excellent results. 50s+: more volume to address, may need combination treatments. Start when volume loss bothers you, not based on age alone." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What happens if I stop getting fillers?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Your face returns to its natural ageing state over 6-18 months. Face won't sag or look worse than before. Skin won't be damaged or stretched. No long-term negative effects. You can stop anytime — the only consequence is losing the volume enhancement benefits." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Are dermal fillers safe?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — when performed correctly by qualified practitioners. Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in your body, extensively studied and FDA-approved, millions of treatments annually worldwide, reversible if needed. Serious complications are rare but can include vascular occlusion. This is why choosing an experienced, properly trained practitioner is critical." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can men have dermal fillers?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Absolutely! Increasingly popular with men seeking jawline enhancement, cheek structure, non-surgical rhinoplasty, tear trough treatment, and subtle rejuvenation. Male treatment uses different aesthetic goals (stronger, more masculine features), often larger amounts, and focus on structure and definition over softness." } } ] }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "MedicalProcedure", "name": "Dermal Fillers", "description": "Premium dermal fillers in Cardiff for cheeks, jawline, lips and more.
