Dermal Fillers Explained: Restoring Volume and Youthful Contours
Learn how dermal fillers can combat signs of ageing by restoring lost volume, plumping lips, and defining facial contours for a naturally youthful look.

As we age, the face naturally changes. The skin becomes thinner, collagen production slows, and fat pads that once gave our features youthful structure begin to shrink and shift. The result? Loss of volume, sagging, deeper lines, and changes to facial contours that can make us look tired or older than we feel.
Dermal fillers are a safe, non-surgical way to restore these changes. By replacing lost volume and refining contours, they help bring balance back to the face for a fresher, more youthful look.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid (HA)—a sugar molecule that occurs naturally in the skin and holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. As we age, our HA levels decline, leading to dryness, fine lines, and loss of plumpness.
When carefully injected, dermal fillers replenish this lost volume and stimulate hydration, instantly improving skin quality and restoring natural contours.
How Do Fillers Restore Volume and Youthful Contours?
Fillers work in three main ways:
Replacing lost structure – adding support where natural fat pads and bone have diminished (such as the cheeks or temples).
Smoothing deep lines – filling areas like nasolabial folds and marionette lines for a softer appearance.
Enhancing natural features – refining lips, jawline, or chin to bring balance and definition.
This approach doesn’t change who you are—it simply restores harmony and freshness to your natural features.
Areas Dermal Fillers Can Treat
- •Cheeks – restoring lift and volume for a youthful mid-face.
- •Lips – adding shape, hydration, and subtle enhancement.
- •Nasolabial folds & marionette lines – softening shadows around the mouth.
- •Tear troughs – reducing tired, hollow under-eyes.
- •Jawline & chin – reshaping and balancing facial proportions.
- •Hands – replenishing volume and smoothing crepey skin.
What to Expect During Treatment
- •A full consultation to discuss your goals and create a personalised plan.
