Hello!
Medically reviewed by Dr Hassan SoueidConsultant Cosmetic & Plastic Surgeon
Overview
Dermal fillers create a refreshed, more youthful appearance by adding volume to specific areas of the face. They can soften fine lines and wrinkles, restore lost volume and refine the shape of facial features.
At Kensington Cosmetic Clinic our dermal filler treatments are doctor-led — designed and performed by clinicians whose primary training is surgical. The result is a more considered approach: anatomical understanding, conservative dosing, and a clear refusal to overfill.
Find out how a considered dermal filler plan can refresh your features — without changing them.

Treated Areas
Dermal fillers can address concerns across the upper, mid and lower face — and we are equally clear about the areas where we do not believe filler is the right tool.
Temples
Subtle volume restoration in temple hollowing supports the upper face and lifts the brow indirectly — one of the most impactful single-area treatments.
Tear Trough
Hollowing under the eye. Carefully placed filler restores volume, softens shadow and creates a brighter, more rested eye area.
Glabella Lines
Vertical frown lines between the brows. We do not use dermal fillers in this area due to the increased risk profile — anti-wrinkle injections and skin boosters are preferred.
Cheeks
Subtle filler placement restores midface projection, supports the lower face and reframes the overall facial profile in a natural, considered way.
Nose (Liquid Rhinoplasty)
A non-surgical refinement using filler to camouflage minor irregularities, smooth dorsal humps or refine the tip — without surgery or downtime.
Nasolabial Folds
Lift is created indirectly via cheek support; the smile lines soften without overfilling the lower face.
Lips
Hydration, definition and gentle volume — designed around the patient's natural lip anatomy. Subtlety and symmetry are the brief; volume is never the goal.
Marionette Lines
Lines from the corner of the mouth to the chin. Filler restores structural support and reduces the downturned appearance of the lower face.
Jawline
Sharper definition, improved facial proportions and subtle masculinisation or feminisation, depending on the treatment plan.
Chin
Projection and balance — small refinements to chin position can transform the side profile without surgery.
Materials
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
We use thisA naturally occurring molecule in the skin. HA fillers add volume, hydration and structure with an excellent safety profile. They are reversible — fully dissolvable with hyaluronidase if needed. Results typically last 6–24 months.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)
We don't useA bio-stimulatory filler that supports collagen production with results lasting 12–18 months. Not reversible, which is why we choose hyaluronic acid for our patients.
Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA)
We don't useStimulates the skin's own collagen over time. Effective but not reversible — for that reason, we do not use PLLA in our practice.
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)
We don't useSemi-permanent and not broken down by the body. We do not offer PMMA fillers — the inability to reverse them does not align with our patient-safety standards.

Benefits at KCC
Investment
Every patient is different — the area, technique and number of stages shape the plan. We share full pricing during your private consultation, after Dr Hassan or your treating clinician has reviewed your goals in person.
Before
Case Study
Dermal filler can be delivered with either a sharp needle or a blunt cannula. Both are used at KCC — the right choice depends on the area, the volume required and the patient's anatomy.
Technique 1
Multiple precise injections placed across the treatment area — ideal for fine, surface-level work where exact deposit location matters: lips, tear trough margins, marionette lines.
Technique 2
A single small entry point allows a blunt-tipped cannula to glide through the tissue and deliver filler across a large area — ideal for cheeks, jawline, temples and full midface restoration.
Dr Hassan selects the technique on a per-area basis — sometimes both are used in a single appointment.
The Treatment
A private, unhurried conversation. We review your medical history, examine the treatment area and listen to what you would like to change. If filler is appropriate, we present a staged plan and explain what you can realistically expect.
Topical anaesthetic is applied first. The treatment itself takes between fifteen and forty-five minutes, depending on the area and technique. We use only hyaluronic acid fillers — selected for their reversibility and safety profile.
Step by Step
Doctor-led dermal filler is performed in stages — never rushed, always reviewed.
01 · The Consultation
An unhurried examination of the face at rest and during animation. Photographs are taken in standardised lighting. We discuss what you want to change, what we recommend changing first, and the areas where filler is not the right tool.
02 · Preparation
Forty-eight hours alcohol-free, ibuprofen-free where safe. Two clear weeks before any major social event. Arrive with clean skin in the treatment area. Topical anaesthetic is applied for thirty minutes before the procedure.
03 · The Procedure
Hyaluronic-acid filler delivered by needle or blunt cannula — selected per area. Total session 15 to 45 minutes. We dose conservatively at the first treatment, then review at two weeks rather than chasing immediate maximum effect.
04 · Review & Aftercare
Mild swelling and the occasional bruise are normal in the first few days. The two-week review confirms the result has settled and allows any small refinement. Filler longevity ranges from six months at the lips to two years in deeper structural areas.
After
Downtime is usually minimal. Mild swelling and the occasional bruise are normal — most patients return to daily activity immediately.
Results
Result longevity depends on the area treated, the filler used and individual metabolism.
Questions
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment, and most modern fillers also contain a local anaesthetic for comfort.
No. Our brief is always natural enhancement — restoring or refining what is already yours, not replacing it. Subtle results, performed in stages, are the signature of our practice.
All medical procedures carry some risk. The most common are bruising, swelling and asymmetry — almost always temporary. Rare but serious complications are minimised by using only reversible fillers, performed by appropriately qualified clinicians.
Most patients see the desired result in a single session, though some treatment plans (particularly liquid rhinoplasty or full-face refinement) are best staged across two or more visits for the most natural outcome.
We do not offer permanent fillers. Reversibility is fundamental to our standard of patient safety — we use only fillers that can be dissolved if needed.
