Dermal Fillers are a non-surgical treatment that will add volume or plump up areas where wrinkles and folds have appeared due to aging. Dermal fillers will help to smooth lines, enhance lips and restore cheeks to give you a more youthful and fresh-faced look.

Do not use Dermal fillers if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or bruise easily. If you’re unsure of your suitability our doctors will advise you further at the consultation.

At Thérapie Clinic we use the world’s most tried and tested HA dermal fillers available on the market. Its safety and effects are clinically proven and supported by extensive clinical data. Our dermal fillers have been used for over 15 years and in more than 15 million treatments worldwide. Your doctor will give you more information during your consultation.

One of the great advantages of Dermal Fillers is that the effects are long-lasting but not permanent. Duration depends on many factors, such as the individual’s skin type, lifestyle, and age. After the initial treatment, follow-up sessions are normally recommended around every 6 to 12 months depending on the individual and the treatment. Treatment of the lips lasts from 3 to 6 months. Your doctor will give you more information during your consultation.

Your doctor will advise you fully of post-treatment advice at your consultation. After the treatment, some common injection-related reactions might occur, such as swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration, and tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve spontaneously within 2 to 10 days. The use of anti-inflammatory drugs or aspirin will almost always cause bleeding or increased bruising at the injection site. No exercise except for walking for 24 hours after the procedure.

While you can smoke after dermal fillers and it won’t directly impact the results, it’s advisable to avoid it as it can have an effect on how your body reacts to the procedure.

If you’ve had lip fillers, you should avoid smoking as you can increase the risk of infection.

You should also avoid touching the area for at least four hours after the procedure.

You may experience some discomfort during the procedure and some tenderness afterward, though our team is highly experienced so will make every effort to reduce your discomfort.

Usually, 1ml of dermal filler is required, but we offer 2ml too.

Our professionals will be able to advise on the most suitable amount, depending on your requirements and following a full consultation.
