Fillers are suitable for adults with static wrinkles, volume loss, facial hollowing, or asymmetry who seek non-surgical correction. Common concerns include nasolabial folds, marionette lines, under-eye hollowing (tear troughs), cheek volume loss, temple hollowing, lip thinning, and jawline definition. Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active skin infections in the treatment area are not suitable candidates.

Fillers provide immediate, visible improvement in volume and contour with no surgical downtime. Results are natural when administered with the correct product choice and precise technique. HA fillers are also reversible using hyaluronidase if correction is needed. When used in combination with botulinum toxin, Profhilo, or Sculptra, fillers form part of a comprehensive, layered facial rejuvenation approach.

Avoid blood-thinning medications, supplements such as fish oil and vitamin E, and alcohol for one week before treatment to minimise bruising. Inform your dermatologist of all prior filler treatments, particularly if previous products used are unknown. Sun protection and a gentle skincare routine should be maintained before the appointment.

A detailed facial assessment is conducted before any product is selected or injected. Topical or local anaesthesia is applied for comfort. The dermatologist administers filler using a fine needle or cannula — the technique chosen based on the area and product being used. Results are assessed and refined immediately after injection. Treatment takes 30–45 minutes depending on the areas being treated.

Mild swelling and occasional bruising are expected and resolve within a few days. Avoid vigorous massage, extreme heat, and strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours. Daily sunscreen use is essential. A follow-up appointment at two weeks allows the dermatologist to assess settling and make any refinements if needed.

Soft tissue fillers are safe when administered by a trained and experienced dermatologist with a thorough knowledge of facial anatomy. Common temporary effects include swelling, bruising, and mild tenderness. Rare risks include vascular occlusion, which is why treatment should only be performed by specialist practitioners trained in complication management.

The cost of filler treatment depends on the areas being treated, the type and quantity of filler used, and the complexity of the treatment plan. A personalised assessment and full cost breakdown will be provided at your consultation with Dr. Rajat Kandhari.
