What You Really Need to Know About Dermal Fillers – From the Experts at DermAttract

Thinking about getting dermal fillers, but feeling a little unsure? You're not alone.

At DermAttract, we get questions every week from clients who are curious, cautious, and excited about what fillers can do—but want the facts before they book. So we’ve pulled together answers to the most commonly asked questions about dermal fillers. If you’re filler-curious, this one's for you!

1. What Exactly Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and smooth out lines. Most are made from hyaluronic acid (HA)—a substance your body naturally produces to keep skin plump and hydrated.

There are different types and brands (like Juvederm, Teoxane, and Restylane), each designed for different areas—lips, cheeks, jawline, under eyes, and more.

2. Will I Look "Overdone"?

Nope—not at DermAttract! Our doctor-led team specialises in natural, balanced results. Our philosophy is simple: you, but refreshed.

That means no duck lips, no pillow face!

3. Where Can Fillers Be Used?

We treat a variety of areas depending on your goals:

💋 Lips – for volume, symmetry, or subtle shape enhancement

💁‍♀️ Cheeks – to lift and restore youthful contours

🗿 Chin – for definition

🔄 Nasolabial Folds & Marionette Lines – to soften deep creases

4. Does It Hurt?

Surprisingly, not much! Most fillers contain a numbing agent called lidocaine, and we apply a strong topical numbing cream beforehand. You may feel a bit of pressure or a tiny pinch, but the treatment is very tolerable. Many clients say, “That was way easier than I expected!”

5. How Long Do Fillers Last?

Most hyaluronic acid fillers last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the area treated, your metabolism, and the product used. Areas with lots of movement (like lips) tend to break down faster, while structural areas (like cheeks and jawline) often last longer.

6. Is There Any Downtime?

You might have some swelling or bruising for a few days, but most clients return to normal life right away. We’ll give you full aftercare instructions to minimise downtime and help your results settle beautifully.

Hot tip: Avoid alcohol, intense exercise, hot suanas/baths, make-up and facials for 24–48 hours post-treatment.

7. Are Fillers Safe?

Yes—when performed by qualified professionals. At DermAttract, your treatment is carried out by medical experts with in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy and safety protocols.

8. How Much Do Fillers Cost?

It depends on the area and amount of product needed. At DermAttract, we offer a bespoke consultation where we create a personalised treatment plan. We always explain costs upfront—no surprises, no pressure.
