Dermal Fillers London
Dermal fillers can do more than simply soften lines and wrinkles. Used with precision, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can help restore lost volume, refine facial contours, and provide subtle structural support. Refreshing tired or hollow areas while ensuring your results look entirely natural, keeping the face looking like you.
“If you can tell that there’s work, I haven’t done my job.” — Dr Preema Vig
At Dr Preema London Clinic in Mayfair, every treatment plan is entirely bespoke. Whether addressing subtle lip volume, cheek and jawline contouring, tear trough hollowing, or nasolabial folds, Dr Preema evaluates the face as a whole rather than treating features in isolation.
The approach is always personal. Rather than looking at an individual line or feature in isolation, Dr Preema considers what the face is expressing as a whole, how its proportions work together and what the patient wants to see when they look in the mirror. The aim is not to make treatment obvious. It is to create a balanced, refreshed result that feels appropriate for your individual face.

What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are non-surgical, injectable treatments designed to restore lost facial volume, smooth fine lines, and refine natural facial contours. At Dr Preema London Clinic, we work exclusively with premium hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains moisture and creates soft, natural-looking volume. Depending on your aesthetic goals, Dr Preema tailors the formulation and density of the filler to the specific area being treated.
Dermal filler treatments may be helpful in addressing a range of concerns including:
Restoring Volume
Reconstructing fullness in areas hollowed by age, weight loss, or natural collagen decline.
Refining Definition
Enhancing facial proportions across key structural areas, including the lips, jawline, chin, and cheeks.
Subtle Structural Support
Softening deeper facial folds and lifting sagging tissue to give the face a fresher, better-supported, and more harmonious appearance.

That is why dermal filler treatments are always bespoke, planned around your precise facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.
Treatment Time
How long does a Dermal Filler treatment take?
A Dermal Filler treatment typically takes around 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area and individual treatment plan.
Your appointment includes a detailed assessment, preparation of the treatment area and precise placement of the dermal filler, allowing treatment to be tailored to your facial features and aesthetic goals.
Comfort Level
What do Dermal Filler injections feel like?
Dermal Filler injections are generally well tolerated and comfortable, although you may experience a brief pinching or stinging sensation during treatment.
Many modern dermal fillers contain a local anaesthetic to help improve comfort, and additional topical numbing can be used where appropriate.
Course Frequency
How many Dermal Filler treatments are needed?
Many Dermal Filler treatments can be completed in a single session, although the number of treatments required will depend on the area being treated and your individual goals.
Your practitioner will create a personalised treatment plan based on your facial anatomy, existing volume, skin quality and desired outcome.
Action to Take Effect
How soon do you see results from Dermal Fillers?
Some Dermal Filler results are visible immediately following treatment, with the final result becoming clearer as any initial swelling settles.
Over the following days and weeks, the treated area can appear more defined and balanced as the filler integrates into the surrounding tissue.
Duration of Effect
How long do Dermal Filler results last?
Dermal Filler results can typically last around 6–18 months, depending on the type of filler used, treatment area, amount injected and individual factors such as metabolism.
Your practitioner will discuss the expected longevity of your specific treatment during your consultation and advise you on what to expect from your results.
Maintenance
How often should you have Dermal Filler maintenance treatments?
Dermal Filler maintenance treatments are usually recommended when your results begin to diminish, rather than at a fixed interval.
Your practitioner will assess your results and advise when further treatment may be appropriate, helping to maintain natural-looking definition, balance and volume over time.
What Can Dermal Fillers Achieve?
The purpose of face fillers varies significantly from person to person. Dr Preema’s clinical focus is on understanding how subtle adjustments can create greater facial harmony across the whole face. Depending on your individual aesthetic goals and anatomical assessment, dermal filler treatment may help to:
- Restore Lost Volume: Address age-related tissue depletion to support natural facial rejuvenation.
- Enhance Definition & Contouring: Improve structure through areas such as the cheeks, chin, or jawline for better profile balance.
- Soften Deep Lines & Folds: Reduce the depth of static facial creases while preserving natural facial expression.
- Subtly Rebalance Proportions: Address minor asymmetry or facial sagging to create a harmonious resting appearance.
- Maintain Natural Features: Offer gentle, incremental adjustments over time for patients who wish to preserve their current look rather than undergo a dramatic change.
What Areas Can be Treated with Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers offer versatile options across different areas of the face. Below is an overview of how targeted hyaluronic acid treatments may help address specific aesthetic concerns, depending on individual anatomy and suitability.
| Treatment Area | What this may help with | How treatment is used in this area | Key considerations & expectations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under-Eyes (Tear Troughs) | Under-eye hollowing, dark shadow appearance related to volume loss, or a tired-looking eye area. | May be used to restore subtle volume under the eyes to smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and upper cheek. | Aims to create a refreshed appearance. Suitable candidates require individual assessment; dark circles caused by surface pigmentation may not respond to filler. |
| Lips | Naturally thin lips, age-related volume loss, minor asymmetry, undefined borders, or subtle fine lines around the mouth. | May be applied to enhance lip structure, add subtle volume, define the Cupid's bow, or restore tissue hydration. | Designed for proportional enhancement. Results vary based on natural lip shape and tissue structure. |
| Cheeks & Mid-Face | Loss of cheek volume, flattened cheekbones, mild tissue laxity, or deepening shadow lines across the mid-face. | May be placed strategically over cheek structures to support the mid-face and subtly lift surrounding tissue. | Focuses on restoring natural-looking contours. Restoring mid-face support can sometimes soften the appearance of lower facial folds. |
| Jawline & Chin | A receded chin profile, soft jawline definition, or mild lower-face contour changes. | May be used along the jawline and chin to sharpen angles, improve profile balance, and enhance lower-face definition. | Higher-density formulations are typically used to mimic structural support. Results depend on underlying bone structure and skin elasticity. |
| Nasolabial Folds | Deepening lines or creases running from the nose down toward the corners of the mouth. | May be used directly to soften fold depth, or placed in the upper cheek area to offer indirect lifting support. | Aims to soften shadow depth for a fresher expression while preserving natural facial movement and expression. |
| Marionette Lines | Creases or shadows extending downward from the corners of the mouth toward the chin. | May be applied to provide structural support beneath the corners of the mouth to soften lower-face lines. | Designed to help improve a downturned expression by restoring subtle lower-face support. |
| Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty | Minor dorsal humps, slight bridge unevenness, mild asymmetry, or a slightly drooping nasal tip. | Micro-droplets of filler may be placed to smooth profile contours or visually lift the nasal tip. | Offers temporary profile adjustments. Requires precise, doctor-led anatomical assessment to ensure safety and suitability. |
Types of Dermal Fillers and How the Right Product is Chosen
Dr Preema’s clinical approach relies exclusively on premium, hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Rather than selecting a filler purely by brand recognition, product choice is driven entirely by anatomical requirements and individual treatment goals. Different facial areas require varying degrees of flexibility, structural density, and integration. Dermal fillers should also be distinguished from other regenerative injectables; treatments with distinct mechanisms, such as biostimulators, are best evaluated independently.
Juvéderm® Dermal Fillers
The Juvéderm® range (utilising advanced Vycross® technology) offers a diverse spectrum of formulations tailored to specific facial layers.
Higher-density options within the Juvéderm portfolio may be selected to restore lost mid-face volume or define lower-face contours like the chin and jawline. Smoother, more flexible gel formulations are often used to refine lip texture or soften delicate surface lines.
Known for smooth tissue integration and predictable longevity.
Aliaxin® Dermal Fillers
The Aliaxin® range features specialised hyaluronic acid formulations designed for balanced tissue integration, subtle projection, and hydration.
Aliaxin products offer varying visco-elastic properties, making them well-suited for dynamic facial regions where natural movement is paramount, such as perioral lines, subtle cheek shaping, and natural lip restoration.
Designed to support the skin’s natural mechanical properties, aiming for fluid, harmonious results that move naturally with facial expressions.
Personalised Product Selection
Rather than applying a single product across the entire face, Dr Preema may combine different formulations from Juvéderm and Aliaxin within a single bespoke treatment plan. The specific gel density and volume used are determined during your initial doctor-led consultation in Mayfair.

Am I suitable for dermal fillers?
Suitability for dermal filler treatment is entirely individual. Rather than applying a standard procedure, Dr Preema evaluates your underlying facial anatomy, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals together during your consultation in Mayfair.
Who May Benefit from Dermal Fillers?
- Restore Lost Volume: Address age-related hollows or volume depletion in areas like the cheeks, temples, or under-eyes (tear troughs).
- Refine Facial Contours: Add subtle definition and balance to features such as the chin, jawline, or lips.
- Soften Structural Lines: Smooth deeper static creases, including nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
A Considered, Medical-First Approach
Dermal fillers are never recommended simply because they are available. Where structural support or contouring is required, fillers may be used as a standalone treatment. However, if your primary concern relates to surface skin texture or generalised laxity, alternative skin-rejuvenation treatments or a carefully layered combination plan may be advised instead. Suitability is confirmed following a thorough medical consultation and health assessment at Dr Preema London Clinic. Dermal fillers are not suitable for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain active skin infections in the treatment area.
Dermal Filler Safety, Risks and Side Effects
Patient safety is fundamental to every treatment at Dr Preema London Clinic. Achieving safe, natural results relies on rigorous product sourcing, deep anatomical expertise, and transparent patient care.
Product Sourcing & Authenticity
Safety begins with knowing where injectable products originate. Dr Preema exclusively sources premium hyaluronic acid dermal fillers directly from certified manufacturers through regulated, accredited UK pharmacies. This helps ensure product traceability, medical-grade purity, and protects patients against counterfeit formulations.
Bespoke Treatment & Anatomical Planning
Treatment planning is tailored to the individual. The Dr Preema Method evaluates underlying facial anatomy, vascular structures, skin condition, and personal aesthetic goals to help determine a suitable injection technique for each patient, rather than applying a standardized approach.
Common Side Effects
Dermal fillers are non-surgical procedures, but like any injectable treatment, minor, temporary side effects can occur at the injection site. These typically settle over a few days to a week and may include:
- Mild swelling or redness around the treated area.
- Localised bruising or slight tenderness.
- Minor pinpoint bleeding at the injection sites.
Managing Risks & Complications
While serious complications are rare when treatment is performed by an experienced medical doctor, potential risks include asymmetry, temporary lumpiness, or vascular compromise. Because Dr Preema uses temporary hyaluronic acid-based fillers, treatments can be adjusted or reversed using an enzyme (hyaluronidase) if clinically indicated. Suitability, potential risks, and individual health factors are thoroughly assessed during a full consultation in Mayfair prior to any treatment being performed.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dermal Fillers
How long do dermal fillers last?
Dermal filler longevity varies depending on the specific product selected, the treatment area, injection depth, and individual metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last anywhere between 6 and 18 months, though individual duration varies. Areas with frequent muscle movement, such as the lips, generally metabolise filler faster than less mobile regions like the chin or tear troughs.
What is the riskiest place to get fillers?
No facial area is entirely risk-free, but regions with complex blood supply carry a higher potential risk of vascular complications. Facial areas such as the nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty), glabella (frown lines), forehead, and tear troughs require advanced anatomical expertise. Dr Preema conducts a comprehensive facial assessment to discuss area-specific risks prior to any procedure.
Are dermal fillers worth the money?
Determining whether dermal fillers are worthwhile depends on your individual expectations and treatment goals. Fillers offer an effective, non-surgical method to restore lost volume, refine facial contours, and soften static creases. However, because results are non-permanent, ongoing investment is required for maintenance. A detailed medical consultation establishes whether fillers offer the most suitable solution for your specific concerns.
Which is better for jowls: Botox or dermal fillers?
Neither treatment is universally superior for lower-face ageing, as botulinum toxin and dermal fillers perform distinctly different clinical functions:
- Dermal Fillers: May be used to restore mid-face volume or strengthen jawline definition to subtly camouflage mild jowling.
- Botox (Botulinum Toxin): Addresses muscle hyperactivity (such as the platysma muscle bands) to reduce downward pull on the lower face.
In many cases, a combination approach or alternative skin-tightening treatment may be recommended depending on the underlying cause and degree of tissue laxity.
