Understanding the treatment
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and is also used in injectable fillers. These treatments may be considered for volume or contour changes in certain facial areas. Product choice, treatment area and suitability are assessed in consultation.
At your consultation
- Consultation begins with your desired change and an assessment of facial anatomy.
- Share information about previous injections, allergies, medicines and your health.
- Discuss the proposed product, alternatives, risks and limitations before deciding.
Risks & limitations
Swelling, pain, redness, bruising, lumps or infection may occur. A rare serious complication is blood-vessel blockage, which can cause tissue damage, vision loss or stroke. Unusual pain, skin-colour changes or visual symptoms after injection require immediate medical attention.
How long does the effect last?
Duration depends on factors including the product and injection area, and varies between individuals. There is no single duration that applies to every treatment.
Can fillers address every facial change?
No. Fillers are not suitable for every concern or goal. Assessment helps determine whether to consider a filler, another approach or no treatment.
