How long do dermal fillers last?

Longer than most people expect. Results are often quoted at 6–18 months, but that's when the visible effect softens — not when the filler is gone. Recent MRI studies show hyaluronic-acid filler can remain in the tissues for several years. This is exactly why Dr Natalia works conservatively — the least product necessary, built gradually, and reviewed over time rather than assuming previous filler has fully dissolved.

Are dermal fillers painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. We can use topical anaesthetic or dental blocks for sensitive areas like lips. Most fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort.

Can dermal fillers be dissolved?

Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed. This provides an added safety measure and allows for adjustments.

What's the difference between fillers and anti-wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections relax muscles to prevent dynamic wrinkles, while fillers add volume and smooth static lines. Both can be used together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Can I see results immediately?

Yes, results are immediate. Initial swelling may occur and settles within a few days, revealing the final result.

What should I avoid after treatment?

Don’t do any strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment. Use gentle skin care and avoid make up if possible on treatment day. Do not massage the treated area unless instructed to by Dr. Natalia. You should avoid the following for 2 weeks post treatment: - Heat treatments, such as sauna/steam/hot showers/tanning booth - Facials or facial waxing treatments - Massages - Radiofrequency, IPL, laser or any other heat treatments near the treated area

Are dermal fillers safe?

When administered by qualified medical professionals using FDA-approved products and strict safety protocols, dermal fillers are very safe.

What is Dermal Fillers? | Leicester Clinic

Dermal fillers are non-permanent as they are naturally broken down by the body over months to years, with both the fillers and their effects gradually fading away.

Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid which naturally occurs in the body, but these levels deplete as we age. This natural reduction in hyaluronic acid is coupled with changes in fat storage within the complex facial structure which results in volume loss and a decrease in elasticity.

Cheeks – restore youthful volume
Chin – projection and shape
