Dermal Filler Treatment in South East London
Over time, we naturally lose collagen and facial fat. This can lead to:
-
Flatter cheeks -
Thinner lips
-
Deepening folds
-
Reduced jawline definition
-
A general tired or hollow look
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers gently restore lost volume and rebalance facial proportions.
Results are visible immediately and typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on the area treated and product used.
Patients visit us from Blackheath, Greenwich, Lewisham, Kidbrooke, Eltham and Canary Wharf for subtle, medical-grade aesthetic treatments in our CQC-registered clinic.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made from hyaluronic acid — a substance naturally found in the skin.
They work by:
-
Replacing lost volume
-
Softening deep folds
-
Enhancing contours
-
Supporting facial structure
-
Improving overall balance
Our approach is conservative and bespoke. The goal is refinement — not exaggeration.
Friends should notice you look fresher, not “done.”
Common Treatment Areas
At our Blackheath SE3 clinic, dermal fillers are commonly used to treat:
-
Cheeks and mid-face volume loss
-
Marionette lines
-
Chin projection
-
Under-eye hollowing (when appropriate)
-
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
-
Jawline definition
-
Lip enhancement
All treatment areas are assessed individually during consultation.
Is Dermal Filler Treatment Right For You?
You may benefit if you notice:
-
Flatter or hollow cheeks
-
Deepening facial folds
-
Lips that have thinned or lost definition
-
Loss of jawline structure
-
A generally tired appearance
We assess suitability carefully and always prioritise natural balance.
What Results Can I Expect?
-
Immediate visible improvement
-
Smoother facial contours
-
Enhanced structural support
-
Subtle, natural-looking lift
-
Results refining over 1–2 weeks
-
Longevity of approximately 6–12 months
Maintenance treatments can help sustain results over time.
What Happens During Treatment?
Consultation
We assess your facial anatomy at rest and in movement, discuss your goals and create a personalised treatment plan.
Treatment
The procedure takes approximately 15–30 minutes. A fine needle or cannula is used for precision and comfort.
Aftercare
Mild swelling or bruising may occur and typically settles within a few days. Results refine as swelling subsides over one to two weeks.

I cannot thank Dr Mac Sweeney enough for the care and support he gave my husband when he became seriously ill while we were away from home in London.
I was understandably very worried and was able to book an appointment within just a couple of hours. From the moment we met him, Dr Mac Sweeney was kind, reassuring, professional and genuinely caring. He took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and made us feel that my husband was in very safe hands.
What impressed me most was that his care did not stop when we left the consultation. He followed up on several occasions to check on my husband's progress, prescribed more medicine and even went out of his way to provide a letter for our insurance company, which was incredibly helpful.
In a world where good service can sometimes feel hard to find, Dr Mac Sweeney demonstrated a level of compassion and personal attention that was truly exceptional. The fee was also very reasonable, especially given the time, care and support we received.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Mac Sweeney to anyone needing medical assistance and will always be grateful for the kindness he showed to both of us. If I lived in London I would most certainly subscribe to his membership scheme so he could deal with all my family's medical needs.

We had a wonderful experience with Lydia at the Blackheath Clinic for a 3D/4D scan of our baby. She knew exactly what to do to help get our baby in a good position for us to see his face and we were blown away by the photos she gave us. A really moving experience in a beautiful, calm clinic

This is healthcare as it should be delivered. If life has left you weary and nostalgic for days gone by, book your next GP appointment at Blackheath Clinic.
As I entered the tastefully curated space, I encountered one of the rarest of things: a polite, smiling and genuinely welcoming receptionist. In fact, she was so warm and courteous that I briefly wondered whether I had wandered into an upmarket spa by mistake.
Then I met Dr Sweeney. He was charming, courteous, friendly and thoroughly professional, with the kind of bedside manner that reminds you what general practice can be at its best: attentive, humane and quietly confident. He came across as someone who takes real pride in his work and genuinely cares for his patients.
The whole experience felt like stepping back into a time when patients were warmly received and doctors truly doctored. As I was leaving, Dr Sweeney mentioned that he was off on a home visit. A GP doing a home visit in 2026? I was so astonished I nearly needed examining all over again.
Join this practice quickly before word gets out and the list fills up. This is care delivered by people who genuinely care, and that feels all too rare these days

I had such a wonderful experience with Dr Micha Plugaru. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel completely at ease. She is incredibly professional, kind, and genuinely caring, which made the whole experience so comfortable and reassuring.
I had lip filler and RRS Long Lasting skin boosters, and she took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all my questions, and ensure I felt confident about the treatments. Her attention to detail and gentle approach really stood out, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Dr Micha Plugaru truly combines expertise with a warm, personal touch. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering aesthetic treatments — you’re in the safest and most caring hands.
