Fillers
Hyaluronic Acid & Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in our tissues and binds water. As a filler, it is used in gel form to restore lost volume, shape contours and soften selected lines and folds. We choose the most suitable product and amount based on your anatomy and the result you want to achieve.

Lip treatments require a different approach from cheek or chin enhancement. For the lips, we focus especially on softness, shape and natural movement. The cheeks and chin may require a firmer, more supportive gel. In the delicate eye area, we assess particularly carefully whether filler treatment is appropriate at all.
We assess your face both at rest and in motion and discuss which changes will best suit your existing proportions. We treat only the areas where added support or volume is genuinely useful. Our aim is balanced contours and smooth transitions while preserving your individual facial features. If a gradual approach is more appropriate, we divide the treatment over several appointments.
Depending on our assessment, additional treatments may be considered, such as botulinum toxin for excessive muscle activity or a skin treatment to address changes in texture. Every combination should have a clear purpose and be planned with appropriate timing.

Hyaluronic acid fillers may be suitable if you want to restore lost volume, subtly shape the lips, enhance certain facial contours or soften deeper lines. The cause of the change matters: volume loss requires a different approach from reduced skin elasticity or pronounced muscle activity.
Before making a recommendation, we examine the skin and underlying tissue and ask about previous treatments. We also take existing filler, swelling or irregularities into account. Not every hollow should be filled, and not every concern is best addressed by adding volume. If another treatment is more suitable for your needs, or if we advise against filler, we will explain why.

Changes in volume and contour are often visible immediately. Initial swelling can temporarily make the result look fuller or uneven. We therefore assess the final shape after the swelling has settled, often after around two weeks; sensitive areas may take longer.
How long the result remains visible varies from person to person. Your metabolism, including the rate at which your body breaks down hyaluronic acid, plays an important role. Lifestyle and tissue condition can also influence the result over time. Longevity therefore cannot be predicted solely from the filler used. We recommend a top-up only after reassessment, and only when additional volume is genuinely appropriate.
We are also available to support you after treatment. We explain what to expect, arrange follow-up where appropriate and are available if you have questions or notice unusual changes. Any additional correction is considered only after a further medical assessment.

Mild swelling, small bruises or tenderness can occur after filler treatment and usually settle on their own. Less common complications include infection, persistent swelling or inflammatory nodules. If anything develops unexpectedly, we will assess you, arrange the necessary treatment and support you through the recovery process.
Before treatment, we review your medical history and discuss possible risks. Afterwards, you will receive personalised aftercare instructions. We remain available if you have questions or concerns following your appointment.
Answers to common questions about treatment, the procedure and aftercare.
Treatment may be appropriate when there is genuine volume loss or when a contour can be improved with carefully placed filler. If the main concern is significant skin laxity, prominent under-eye bags or expression lines caused mainly by muscle movement, another approach may be more suitable. We assess the underlying cause and discuss whether filler is right for you.
You will usually see a change immediately after treatment, although early swelling will affect the appearance. Our aim is a correction that suits your face and preserves your natural expression. We take your existing shape, tissue structure and any previously injected material into account. If appropriate, we work in stages rather than adding more volume at once.
Swelling and bruising can remain visible for several days and may last longer around the lips or under the eyes. For this reason, there is no fixed downtime that applies to every treatment. Allow enough time before important events. We will explain what recovery is typically like for the area being treated.
We first discuss what you would like to improve and assess your face at rest and in motion. We then explain the most suitable product, how much treatment is planned, possible alternatives and the cost. The injections are performed gradually while we assess the tissue, contour and symmetry.
Before you leave the clinic, you will receive clear aftercare instructions and information about symptoms that need prompt medical attention. We will agree on an appropriate time for a follow-up and how to contact us with questions. Whether any further treatment is needed is decided together after the swelling has settled and the area has been reassessed.
