Dermal Fillers

As your skin ages, it loses the collagen that helps to shape and support it. Natural lines and wrinkles deepen. Sun exposure, smoking, air pollution and even stress can all age your appearance. The face can also begin to lose volume, giving sunken cheeks and a ‘dragged down’ appearance.

Where can dermal fillers be used?

Dermal fillers can be used in the following areas of the face

Tear troughs – dark circles under eyes
Nose – the alternative to surgical rhinoplasty
Cheeks – replace lost volume to give you a fresh, revitalised look
Lips – add definition and volume to thin lips
Jawline – sculpting the jaw and chin to give you a youthful, contoured appearance.
Temples
Chin
Marionette lines

Dermal fillers can be used as a non-surgical face lift, commonly known as the 8-point lift or ‘liquid face lift’. A specifically-formulated filler is injected into the mid-face to augment and lift the cheeks.This gives the face a fuller appearance, lifting jowls and correcting sagging in the cheeks and lower face.

Are dermal fillers safe?

The fillers are based on hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring sugar in the body.

Facial dermal fillers have had a significant rise in their application for aesthetic reasons, namely to help correct skin conditions which develop as a result of ageing – such as creases, lack of volume, unsightly folds and moderate-to-deep wrinkles.

Since these components are used on human skin, which is highly sensitive and reactive to different materials, facial dermal fillers must always be tested for safety and effectiveness.

Do dermal filler injections hurt?

As with many treatments nowadays, dermal fillers are relatively painless.

Many contain an anaesthetic within the product itself, or we can apply a topical anaesthetic to your skin before the treatment. The anaesthetic takes about an hour and fifteen minutes to take effect, so you will need to allow for this when planning your day.

How long does the treatment take?

The treatment should not last more than half an hour. Afterwards, you should be able to return to your normal, daily activities.

You will need to take into consideration any advice that the doctor has given you for aftercare and management.

What are the side effects?

Some mild swelling, bruising or redness in injection sites is normal. However, if you have any concerns you must call your practitioner.

What do I need to do for aftercare?

After your dermal filler treatment, we recommend the following.

Don’t apply make up for 12 hours – unless you’re using a mineral powder-based make up.
Only use perfume-free moisturiser if you have any dry skin.
If you have had lip augmentation – don’t drink anything too hot or cold.

How long will the effects last?

The effects usually last between 6 months and 1 year, but can last up to 18 months depending on the area treated.

We will discuss the effects in more detail during your initial consultation with the practitioner.

How will I know if dermal fillers are for me?

During your consultation, you will have all the time you need to discuss your needs and to decide the course of treatment that is best for you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am halfway through my treatment programme but so far very happy with the results and service. I have made a big financial commitment but after initial consultations, feel well informed and believe my expectations have been managed appropriately. Everyone in the salon is very friendly and helpful and I feel comfortable and well looked after when I'm there. Ellie is very knowledgeable and thorough. Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The only place I trust with my face. I’m quite particular and have a medical background, so I don’t say that lightly. Everything is done properly, with care and precision, never rushed.

Ellie is incredibly thorough and consistent, and Olaya has genuinely helped me get my confidence and my skin back.

Professional, honest, and results-driven. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Dr Somji regularly and exclusively for 10 years (usually every 3/5 months) and have always trusted his expertise I can honestly say he is the best. His clinic team also are fantastic. Last week I had a fire and ice facial with Mariana, it left me glowing  and I also had a nice skin care lesson from Mariana, she was very knowledgable and it is certainly a treatment I would book again.

Thank you to all the team

Great experience with Dr Munirs guidance, Dr Bhavik Shahs expertise and Claudia who performed the treatment for Dye IPL and Ipixel. The journey was carefully thought out and was a lot less painful than I thought. Thank you all at Dr Medispa!

I visited Dr Somji's mid 2025, and through a robust, transparent and consultative process, received treatment for my alopecia.

After approximately 5 months from my first round of treatment, there are visible signs of my hair growing back

A big shout out to Amz Dhanjal at the front desk for co-ordinating (and buying me a cup of tea from Gails)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very impressed with this Clinic. I am so happy with my Lip filler treatments from the very talented and artistic injector Dr Somji, who provided me with NATURAL results!
He is very thorough, and won’t do any treatments he doesn’t think are necessary, he actually persuaded me to have less! During the consultation I was educated on all the risks, pros and cons, and measured my facial proportions to work out exactly what was best to suit my face naturally. His theory is ‘less is more’ and I completely agree! I went in thinking I needed jawline filler, lip filler, cheek filler and Botox which is what I’ve been told by other places, being ‘sold too’, in fact all I needed was a touch of lip and chin filler to balance my symmetry and this was absolutely perfect! He’s a master at the Cannula method, I felt minimal discomfort, had 0 bruising because the tip is blunt and my anxiety of injectables is now much less as I now know this is the safest method. I couldn’t recommend Dr Somji any more, professional, patient, understanding, safe and a master Injector! The Drs  assistant Elli was very sweet too making sure I felt comfortable through out, embarrassingly held my hand to calm my nerves which I might add really helped! 5 stars!!!!
