Dermal Fillers at Clinic 22, Kilmarnock

Dermal filler treatments can address a range of concerns, including lip enhancement, softening of lines around the mouth, under-eye volume loss, facial contouring, and non-surgical rhinoplasty. Treatment selection is based on individual assessment, with options tailored to support balance, structure, and overall facial harmony.

Dermal fillers may be suitable for individuals seeking to address specific concerns such as volume loss, lines, or contour irregularities. Suitability is determined during consultation, with treatment options selected based on individual anatomy and clinical assessment.

Different dermal filler formulations are selected based on the treatment area and desired outcome. This allows for appropriate product choice when treating areas such as the under-eye region or body, ensuring suitability, safety, and balanced results.

The main difference between Botox® and dermal fillers is that Botox® softens expression lines, whereas dermal fillers are used to restore lost volume and support facial contours.

Botox® works by temporarily reducing muscle activity, making it most suitable for dynamic lines such as forehead lines and crow’s feet.

Dermal fillers, typically formulated with hyaluronic acid, are used to enhance areas such as the cheeks, lips, and deeper folds.

Both treatments are often combined within a personalised, medically guided treatment plan.

Dermal fillers can be used to address subtle concerns, including lines around the mouth such as marionette lines. Treatment is planned to achieve refined, natural-looking improvement while maintaining overall facial balance.

Discomfort is typically minimal. Topical anaesthetic or local numbing may be used to support comfort during treatment, including in more delicate areas such as the under-eye region.

Results are typically visible immediately following treatment, with any initial swelling settling over the following days as the final outcome becomes more apparent.

Dermal filler results typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the treatment area, product used, and individual factors such as metabolism and facial movement. Areas like the lips tend to break down more quickly, while cheeks and jawline treatments often last longer due to reduced movement and deeper placement. Regular assessment helps determine appropriate maintenance timing.

Dermal filler treatments are generally well tolerated when performed following appropriate clinical assessment. Common side effects are mild and temporary, and may include redness, tenderness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, typically resolving within a few days.

Certain dermal fillers, particularly those composed of hyaluronic acid, can be adjusted or reversed using an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. This provides flexibility in treatment planning where clinically appropriate.

Dermal fillers can be used to perform non-surgical rhinoplasty, allowing for refinement of nasal shape and contour without the need for surgical intervention. Suitability is assessed on an individual basis to ensure safe and appropriate treatment.

Yes — dermal fillers are often combined with other treatments as part of a personalised, medically guided approach to facial rejuvenation.

While dermal fillers are used to restore volume, enhance contours, and support facial structure, other treatments may address muscle activity, skin quality, and overall texture.

Depending on your goals, dermal fillers may be combined with Botox® to soften expression lines, polynucleotides or skin boosters to improve skin quality and hydration, and SkinPen microneedling to support collagen stimulation and texture. Some patients may also benefit from a broader full-face rejuvenation approach, depending on individual concerns and facial anatomy.

A consultation is recommended to assess suitability, plan treatment timing, and determine the most appropriate combination for safe, balanced, and natural-looking results.
