Dermal fillers are a non-surgical treatment to ‘fill in’ or smooth out facial lines and wrinkles. The areas best treated are: 
- forehead lines - horizontal frown lines
- glabeller lines - vertical frown lines between the eyebrows
- crow's feet or laughter lines - radiating away from the eyes
- naso-labial lines - furrows running between mouth and nose
- marionette lines - lines running down from the corners of the mouth
- lips - by creating a fuller, more defined shape
- facial scars - either from old injuries or acne scarring
- cheeks - to add fullness especially following illness.
The procedure
Dermal fillers are administered by way of a series of small injections, for which no anaesthetic is required. There are many 'fillers' available and the effects can be either temporary or permanent, depending on the type of filler. Your consultant will advise you on which type of injection is most suitable to meet your requirements. Treatment time varies between 30 minutes to an hour.
Recovery
The area may be a little swollen and tender for a short while afterwards. But, usually there are no visible effects after treatment and people can go straight back to work or to a social engagement.
