Dermal Fillers in Godstone
Dermal fillers are one of the most effective and versatile aesthetic treatments available today. Whether you’re looking to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, or enhance facial contours, our medical-grade filler treatments are tailored to achieve subtle, balanced results that respect the natural proportions of your face.
Made from hyaluronic acid - a substance naturally found in the skin, fillers work to hydrate, lift, and plump targeted areas with immediate effect and minimal downtime. From rejuvenating tired under-eyes to sculpting the jawline or refining lip shape, the goal is always the same: to leave you looking refreshed, not ‘done’.
With a focus on precision, safety, and artistry, we’ll help you feel confident in your skin, with results that enhance rather than alter.
What’s the Difference Between Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Dermal Fillers?
While both are injectable treatments aimed at rejuvenating your appearance, anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers work in very different ways and are used to target different concerns.
Anti-wrinkle injections (often using botulinum toxin) are designed to relax the facial muscles that cause dynamic lines and wrinkles, like frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet. By temporarily reducing muscle movement, the skin appears smoother and more refreshed. These treatments are ideal for softening expression lines and preventing deeper wrinkles from forming. Results typically last 3 to 4 months.
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are used to restore volume, contour facial features, and smooth out static lines, those that appear even when your face is at rest. Using hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, fillers can plump lips, lift cheeks, define the jawline, or treat areas like under-eye hollows and smile lines. Results are usually immediate and can last 6 to 12+ months, depending on the area treated.
Which Treatment Is Right for Me?
This depends entirely on your goals. If you're looking to soften expression lines, anti-wrinkle injections are likely the best option. If you're more concerned about volume loss, sagging, or deeper creases, dermal fillers may be more suitable.
During your consultation, we’ll guide you through the best approach and in many cases, a combination of both treatments delivers the most natural, balanced, and long-lasting results.

FAQs
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. As we age, we naturally lose collagen and fat, leading to sagging or deflation in areas like the cheeks, jawline, and under-eyes. Fillers gently restore this lost volume for a refreshed, more youthful appearance - without surgery.
How do dermal fillers work?
Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin that binds water and provides structure. When injected, it acts like a cushion, adding subtle volume where it’s needed most. HA fillers also hydrate the skin from within. Results are immediate and gradually fade as the body naturally reabsorbs the product.
What areas can be treated with dermal fillers?
Common treatment areas include:
- Cheeks
- Jawline and chin
- Lips
- Nasolabial folds (nose-to-mouth lines)
- Marionette lines (mouth-to-chin lines)
Will I look dramatically different or overfilled?
No. We specialise in natural, subtle results that enhance, not alter your appearance. Our approach is gradual and bespoke. We start with minimal product and build up only if needed. You’ll still look like you, just fresher, more rested, and more confident.
Do dermal fillers hurt?
Most patients describe only mild discomfort during treatment. The fillers contain anaesthetic, and we can apply numbing cream beforehand. Sessions usually last 20–30 minutes.
Is there any downtime after dermal fillers?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience some redness, swelling, or mild bruising around the injection sites, which typically settles within a few days. To minimise bruising, avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medication, and omega-3 supplements for 48 hours prior.
Can I wear makeup or skincare afterwards?
Avoid makeup for 12 hours post-treatment to reduce infection risk. Gentle, mineral-based products may be used if needed. Resume your usual skincare that evening and don’t forget SPF, as skin may be more sensitive.
What is the aftercare for dermal fillers?
- Avoid touching the treated area for 6 hours
- Sleep slightly propped up the first night
- Use arnica or antihistamines to reduce swelling
- Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours
- Stick to cool, calm environments immediately post-treatment
How long do dermal fillers last?
Results vary depending on the area treated and the type of filler used, but typically last between 6 to 12 months. Lip fillers tend to last around 6 months due to constant movement.
Can I top up my fillers if I want more volume?
Yes. We take a “less is more” approach to avoid overfilling. If you’d like additional volume, we can book a follow-up appointment to refine or build on your result.
Can I have dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections together?
Absolutely. These treatments complement each other and are often combined in a tailored treatment plan to achieve both volume restoration and muscle relaxation.
Are dermal fillers safe?
Yes, when administered by medically qualified professionals, dermal fillers are considered safe. Hyaluronic acid fillers can also be reversed if needed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
What if I don’t like the results?
We prioritise consultation and shared decision-making, but in rare cases where a patient is unhappy with the outcome, HA fillers can be dissolved safely and effectively.
