Before you book

The honest details.

What it is

Hyaluronic acid, which your body already makes in your skin, joints and eyes. Placed in the right layer, it may add support, replace lost volume or balance one side with the other.
Always dissolvable. It’s the only filler I use, because I can dissolve it with hyaluronidase. I won’t treat without that safety net.
The right product for the job. Soft fillers for delicate areas like the lip edge, firmer ones for cheekbones and jawline. Product, depth and amount keep a result natural.
Support, not change. Cheeks should look rested, not fuller. A jawline should look cleaner, not bulky.

Areas

Lips

Hydration, a clearer edge and gentle volume. Most people need 0.5ml the first time. Lip filler

Cheeks

Mid face support that may lift the lower face without adding fullness. Cheek filler

Chin

May bring a chin that sits back a little further forward, to balance your side profile.

Jawline

For a jawline that has softened over time. The aim is a clean line, not a sharp one.

Nose to mouth lines

I often treat the cheek instead, to lift the fold from above. Sometimes a tiny amount goes in the fold itself.

Marionette lines

Corners of the mouth down to the chin. I check whether filler suits them.

Tear troughs

Small amounts placed deep may soften the hollow. Not right for puffy bags or fluid, so I assess you first. Tear trough filler

Is it for me?

You want subtle support or balance, not a different face.
You’re 18 or over and in good general health.
You’re not pregnant or breastfeeding.
You’re happy to come for a free consultation first.

I’ll ask you to wait, or suggest another option, if you have:

A skin infection or an autoimmune flare.
Recent dental work near the area.
A cold sore, when we’re treating near the mouth.
A big event in the next 2 weeks. Results take that long to settle.

If you have body dysmorphia, or you’re comparing yourself to an edited photo, the answer may be “not yet”. I’ll tell you that honestly.

Aftercare

Ice on and off for the first few hours.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours, as it thins the blood and makes bruising worse.
Skip hard exercise for 24 hours.
No saunas, steam rooms or sunbeds for 48 hours.
No facials, microneedling, peels or other facial treatments for 14 days.
Sleep on your back the first night if you can.
Drink plenty of water to help the result settle.
Bruising can happen. Follow your written aftercare and contact me if you’re worried.

Severe pain, white patches, changes to your vision or anything worse than a normal recovery? Message me on WhatsApp straight away. A blocked blood vessel is rare, but acting quickly matters.

Risks

Common: bruising, swelling, mild tenderness and small lumps you can feel. These usually settle over 2 to 4 weeks.
Less common: filler moving from where it was placed (migration), a bluish tinge if it sits too close to the surface (Tyndall effect), and allergic reaction.
Rare but serious: vascular occlusion, when filler blocks or presses on a blood vessel. I train for this, keep a dissolving enzyme in clinic at all times and act within minutes. Only have filler with someone who can dissolve it.

I’m an NMC registered nurse, listed with the NMC. We talk through every risk in detail at consultation.

Common questions

Good to know.

Will it look obvious?

Not when it’s done with restraint. Every treatment is dosed for your features. People should notice you. Not the filler. The Refined house style is “you, just refined”. Never overfilled.

Is there downtime?

Mild swelling for 24 to 48 hours. Possible bruising for up to a week. Most clients go back to work the same day. The real result settles at 14 days. That’s when we review.

What if I don’t like it?

Hyaluronic filler is reversible. I review every result at 2 weeks. Adjust or dissolve as needed. Dissolving enzyme is on site. A real safety net. Not marketing.

How long does dermal filler last?

6 to 18 months. Depends on area and product. Lips: usually 6 to 12 months. Cheeks and jawline: 12 to 18 months. Your metabolism and lifestyle play a part too.

Will it migrate?

Not if placed correctly. Right plane. Right volume. Migration happens when too much filler is placed too superficially. Or in the wrong layer. Technique matters more than millilitres.

Can I have multiple areas in one appointment?

Sometimes. For clients who’ve had filler before and know what they want. For first-timers I prefer to stage it. Do the most important area first. See how you settle. Build from there.

I’ve had filler from another clinic and don’t like it. Can you help?

Yes. We start with a consultation to see what’s there. Sometimes the answer is to dissolve and start over. Sometimes it’s to balance with a small extra treatment. I’ll tell you honestly which is right.

What about “permanent filler”?

I won’t use it. Permanent fillers (silicone, PMMA, Aquamid, Bio-Alcamid) are not reversible. They’ve caused serious complications. The only filler I’ll inject is hyaluronic acid. Reversible. Well-studied. Decades of safety data.

Does it hurt?

Numbing cream first. Most filler products also have a local anaesthetic in them. You feel pressure. Not sharp pain. Cannula technique (used for cheeks and jawline) is a lot more comfortable than needle injection.

Can I have it if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

No. We wait. There’s no published data showing harm. But the principle for non-essential cosmetic treatment in pregnancy is to put it on hold.
