Dermal Fillers
At a Glance
Dermal fillers are a highly effective cosmetic treatment used to restore facial volume, soften wrinkles and fine lines, and enhance natural facial features. At Dermoperfection, our Birmingham clinic offers expertly delivered dermal filler injections using premium hyaluronic acid-based injectable fillers, tailored to each individual face.
Located in The Mailbox, Birmingham City Centre, Dermoperfection is a clinician-led aesthetics clinic providing safe, subtle and balanced facial rejuvenation. Dermal fillers can help address signs of ageing such as sagging skin, facial wrinkles and volume loss, while also supporting collagen production and overall skin quality.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable fillers made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that helps maintain hydration, elasticity and structure. As we age, collagen and facial volume gradually decline, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin and changes in facial contours.
Dermal filler injections work by restoring volume beneath the skin, smoothing wrinkles and supporting facial features. Unlike anti-wrinkle injections, which relax muscle contractions, fillers provide structural support and instant volume in targeted areas.
At Dermoperfection Birmingham, dermal fillers are used as a cosmetic procedure to enhance, not change, your natural appearance.

What Concerns Dermal Fillers Help With
Dermal fillers are versatile injectables that can be used to improve a wide range of concerns, including:
- Loss of facial volume
- Sagging skin in the mid-face
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Tear trough hollows and under-eye shadows
- Jawline definition with jawline fillers
- Lip augmentation to refine lip shape and balance
- Contour to cheeks for lifted facial contours
- Vertical lines and horizontal lines around the mouth
- Overall facial rejuvenation
Treatment plans are always individual, as facial features, skin quality and ageing patterns vary between patients.
How Dermal Fillers Work
Dermal fillers work by placing hyaluronic acid gel into specific injection sites to restore volume, lift tissue and smooth wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid attracts water, improving hydration and skin texture while supporting collagen production over time.
Once injected, fillers integrate with the surrounding tissue to create instant volume and subtle contouring. The treatment process is carefully planned by an experienced injector to ensure natural-looking results that complement your facial structure.
At Dermoperfection, injectable fillers are selected based on the treatment area, desired level of support and movement, ensuring refined outcomes without overfilling.
Treatment Areas
Dermal fillers can be used across multiple areas of the face, including:
- Cheeks for volume restoration and contour is
- Lips for lip augmentation, shape and instant volume
- Jawline for structure and definition
- Chin to balance facial proportions
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Tear trough area for under-eye hollows
Each area requires a different approach, product choice and technique, which is why expert assessment is essential.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your journey with dermal fillers at our Birmingham clinic begins with a detailed cosmetic consultation. During this appointment, your clinician will assess:
- Facial features and symmetry
- Skin quality and collagen levels
- Areas of volume loss or wrinkles
- Medical history and suitability
Before treatment, a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort. Many injectable fillers also contain lidocaine for added comfort during injection.
The treatment process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. You may experience mild redness, swelling or bruising at injection sites, which are common side effects and usually settle within a few days.
Results and Recovery Period
Results from dermal filler injections are visible immediately, with continued improvement as swelling subsides. Full results are typically seen within two weeks.
Longevity depends on the treatment area and individual metabolism:
- Lip augmentation usually lasts 6 to 12 months
- Cheek and jawline fillers often last 12 to 18 months
- Tear trough fillers may last around 12 months
A short recovery period is expected, with minimal downtime. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, following aftercare advice.

We want to make sure you have all the information that you need before your treatment. If you have any questions that aren’t covered, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectables, which are made from the naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, most commonly used to fill lines and wrinkles, define the jawline, and add volume to areas such as the lips and cheeks. We use reputable filler brands Juvéderm, Aliaxin and MaiLi at our Birmingham clinic.
Where can they be used?
Fillers can be used to sculpt or fill the cheeks, lips, chin, jawline, tear troughs, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, smoker’s lines, nose and more.
Can I have fillers in more than one area at once?
Yes! Many patients opt for several treatments at the same time.
How long will my filler treatment take?
This depends on your individual treatment plan, however it usually lasts between 30 minutes and an hour.
Do fillers hurt?
Many patients find fillers more comfortable than expected, and many of our fillers contain lidocaine, an anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. Dermoperfection’s medically trained clinicians are very skilled, so you should only feel a slight sting during treatment.
How quickly will I see results from my filler treatments?
Results are visible immediately after the procedure! There may be some redness or swelling around the injection points, however this subsides quickly.
How long do fillers last?
Dermal fillers are non-permanent, and results are usually visible for 6-18 months. You can discuss when to book top-ups when you visit our clinic for your appointment.
Do fillers stimulate collagen production?
Yes, several studies have suggested that fillers induce the formation of collagen, resulting in skin that looks fresher and younger for longer!
Are fillers safe?
Fillers are very safe especially when administered by an experienced and medically qualified practitioner. We only used trusted and clinically proven brands, Juvéderm, Aliaxin and MaiLi, and our team of professionals have years of experience and training, so we can minimise side effects and create natural results.
What can I expect after the treatment?
Swelling and redness should go down after one or two days. Some patients may also experience raised or inflamed skin and itchiness during this time. However, this will soon subside and otherwise there is very little downtime from dermal fillers.
What’s the difference between fillers and anti-wrinkle injections?
Both of these are injectables, but anti-wrinkle injections relaxes muscle movement whereas fillers simply plump out and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. To discuss both of these treatments, you can book a no-obligation consultation with us.
Are dermal fillers painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Topical numbing cream and lidocaine-containing fillers help improve comfort.
Are dermal fillers suitable for anti-ageing?
Yes. Dermal fillers are widely used for anti-ageing, volume restoration and wrinkle correction.
