What are dermal fillers?
The result is subtle plumpness and definition that visibly improves the areas you’re dissatisfied with. We say subtle because keeping your natural beauty and not looking blatantly enhanced is our speciality. Your contouring is carefully done to best match your features and not the ‘average’ person.
Our Registered Cosmetic Nurses do not have sales targets so they are totally committed to providing you with the best possible options based on what is right for you! so you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands.

FAQs
Below are some of our most frequently asked questions about dermal filler treatment:
No, you can return to work immediately following the procedure. We do, however, recommend that for a first visit, it is better to schedule an appointment for the end of the day and preferably the end of the week.
At our clinic, we offer five grades of dermal fillers that can last from 9 to 24 months. The longevity of the effect depends on several factors including facial structure, skin texture, and importantly, the product selected. Most people opt for a top-up every 12 months.
In the practice of safety and minimising risks, we only use fillers that are completely dissolvable. These types of fillers are considered the safest available.
The most common side effects of filler are redness, bruising and swelling that in most cases subside within a couple of days. The likelihood of side effects that are specific to your treatment will be discussed with you prior to treatment. Uncommon and serious complications can occur with dermal fillers and this is why we recommend that you only seek treatment with experienced and skilled practitioners.
Yes, dermal fillers are often combined with other treatments like anti-wrinkle injections as the two treatments can be used to complement each other.
No, we don’t recommend having any cosmetic injectables while pregnant or breastfeeding.
The injections might feel briefly uncomfortable but shouldn’t be painful. We only use premium fillers containing a local anaesthetic, in addition to preparing the treatment areas with a topical anaesthetic prior to treatment, to reduce any potential discomfort.
Dermal fillers are naturally dissolved by your body over a period of 6 to 24 months, however, recent studies are indicating that some fillers may remain present for several years.
