Volume Restoration with Dermal Fillers

Restore soft, natural-looking volume and refine facial contours with doctor-led dermal filler treatment.

Prices from £300

Natural Volume, Beautifully Restored

With age, we lose collagen and facial fat. Cheeks can look flatter, lips thinner and folds more pronounced. Hyaluronic acid fillers gently replace lost volume and balance proportions. Results are visible straight away and typically last six to twelve months, depending on the area and product.

Our approach is conservative and bespoke. We aim for subtle lift, smoother transitions and harmony with your features. Friends should notice you look well, not that you have had treatment.

What can I expect?

  • Brighter, smoother under-eyes that look rested
  • Fine lines softened as skin becomes stronger and more elastic
  • A healthier, less “tired” appearance that develops gradually
  • Results that can last 6 to 12 months with a simple maintenance plan

Our Method

Doctor examine your face before dermal filler treatment
Step one

Comprehensive Consultation

In your comprehensive consultation, we’ll discuss your medical and cosmetic history in detail and invite you to share ideas, goals and any concerns.

We’ll examine your face at rest and with expression, looking at proportions, symmetry and areas of volume loss. With your consent, we take photographs from several angles to guide planning and track results.

Doctor create personalised dermal filler plan for you
Step Two

Treatment Planning

Your unique anatomy informs a personalised filler plan. There is no one-size-fits-all option when it comes to the face.

We’ll explain which areas may benefit, the product choice and how technique and placement will achieve a soft, natural result. The plan is tailored to your features and goals.

Step Three

Preparation & Final Checks

Before any injections, your skin is cleansed with a gentle, hypoallergenic cleanser. Arriving without makeup helps keep things efficient.

We confirm the plan together, answer final questions and apply topical anaesthetic if needed for comfort. This step ensures a hygienic, calm and safe procedure.

Treatment & Results

The injecting stage typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, using a fine needle or cannula as appropriate. Most people find it surprisingly comfortable, with only brief pressure or a light sting.

There may be small pinprick marks, mild swelling or bruising that settles over the next few days. You’ll be able to see improvement immediately, with results refining as any swelling subsides over one to two weeks.

As a Blackheath Clinic patient, you’ll also receive a tailored medical-grade skincare plan to support and maintain your results, guided by your complimentary Zemits VeraFace 12-factor AI skin analysis.
