Dermal Fillers in London Overview
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are made up of a natural substance known as hyaluronic acid. This hydrating substance is a staple in the world of skincare and is found naturally in the connective tissue of our skin. In combination with collagen and elastin fibres, it gives the face form, shape and hydration.
The first signs of sagging and wrinkles are usually due to the lower levels of collagen produced by the body as we age. Through dermal filler injections, your skin can appear firmer, plumper and more youthful. These fillers are designed to recontour and improve facial features and profiles with minimal side effects.
The Benefits of Dermal Fillers
- Help your skin appear firmer and plumper.
- Remove facial wrinkles and laugh lines.
- Improve the appearance of scars and facial blemishes on the area being treated.
- Enhance facial features and sculpt the contours of your face.
- Practically immediate visible effect.
- Plump up your lips or cheeks.
- Soften the creases of time.
- Tear trough fillers and fillers for eye wrinkles for youthful eyes.
Thick vs Deep Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are produced in different consistencies and produce different effects.
Thicker Dermal Fillers
These are injected deeper into the dermis to replace volume and are often used to restore the contours of the cheek or fill the hollows at the temple. Filler for sunken cheeks is particularly effective at reversing the appearance of ageing. Filler for necklines has also proven successful in restoring patients’ youthful glow. Eye fillers can also add to a more youthful appearance.
Deeper Fillers
These are used to fill scars and other facial blemishes. Deep folds between the nose and mouth, known as the nasolabial folds, also respond very well to wrinkle filler injections.
Types of Dermal Fillers Available at Wimpole Aesthetics in London
While there are many different types of fillers available – Wimpole Aesthetics only use products that demonstrate predictable, long-term effects, minimal swelling and redness after treatment and outstanding safety results.
Note that the average cost of fillers will vary depending on the distributor of wrinkle filler in the UK. Below are some of the types of dermal filler in the UK we use in our clinic:
Perlane®
A thicker dermal filler that treats severe wrinkles around the forehead, nose, and lips. It can also drastically improve facial depressions in the cheeks, chin, and under-eye area.
Restylane®
This is the most popular facial filler used to contour the face and the product comes in three formulations. We can advise you on which is right for you depending on your skin type and ageing concern.
Juvederm®
The gold standard dermal filler treatment works in the same way as Restylane®. This is ideal for achieving a natural-looking result while improving the appearance of wrinkles and sagging – like turning back the clock. It is also a popular choice of lip filler and filler for forehead wrinkles.
*All the dermal fillers mentioned above are made of non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acids.

Are there any precautions to take before and after cosmetic injectable treatments?
Before undergoing cosmetic injectable treatment, it is important to disclose any medical conditions or medications that you are taking to your practitioner. After the treatment, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for the first 24 hours and avoid touching or rubbing the treated area.
How soon will I see the results of the treatment?
In general, the results of cosmetic injectable treatments are visible immediately after the treatment, but it may take a few days for the full effect to be apparent. For some treatments, such as Sculptra, it may take several weeks to see the full results.
Does getting dermal filler hurt?
Cosmetic injectable treatments are generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience mild pain or discomfort during the injection process. We use a topical numbing cream or ice to minimise any discomfort.
How long will the dermal filler results last?
The longevity of your dermal fillers depends on the individual patient and also the area where the product is injected. It will gradually be absorbed by the body and it’s perfectly safe to have repeat treatments to maintain your results.
Can I have cosmetic injectable treatments if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
It is generally not recommended to have cosmetic injectable treatments if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the effects of the treatment on a developing fetus or breastfed infant are not well understood.
What our patients say
Natalie and Dr Josh have been incredible in boosting my confidence and my skin! They truly listen and deliver 100% natural results every time. Natalie is completely honest, professional, has integrity and that’s why I trust her fully. Wimpole clinic have a much greater range of cutting edge treatments beyond anti wrinkle treatment that have resulted in my skin improving with age. It’s mad but true. They always assess what is right for my face and my skin on the day and advise according to what my skin needs. I’ve been going to Wimpole Aesthetics for years now, initially drawn to their incredible IV boosts but am now unable to ever turn back. Class, quality and aesthetic results that are truly worth it!!!
Dr Josh is a caring and knowledgeable doctor, his consultation is very detailed, he answered all the questions that I am concerned. Dr Natalie did the filler and skin booster, she takes care of me a lot, even after the treatment she still cares about me, I booked the review after two weeks, highly recommended! Btw, they have a Chinese speaking staff so don’t worry if you are not familiar with medical terminology!
An unpretentious practice. Approachable team with honest, friendly advice. Dr Joshua is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone. He doesn’t prioritise making money like other practices- he will tell you honestly whether you need treatment or not. Acting on clients best interests and well being.

I would highly recommend !!
I have been living with scarring above my upper lip, as a result of electrolysis treatment 25 years ago, in the form of a deep vertical line and small indentations in the skin. I sought help from Wimpole Aesthetics, and from the moment that I entered the small, personal clinic I was totally put at ease and welcomed by the extremely professional and friendly team. I received a course of Mesotherapy and Dermapen treatment and am absolutely delighted with the results. I had almost given up on ever having smooth line-free skin above my upper lip again. I highly recommend letting Wimpole Aesthetics take care of you.
Having lived in Australia for over 10 years, my skin had suffered mild sun-damage and had developed a lot of discolouration on my face in particular. Also, as I approached the age of 40, I noticed a lot of wrinkles appearing! I decided to have Microdermabrasion treatment and the improvements after just 3 treatments were extremely encouraging. I have booked a further 2 treatments in coming months and I am so excited about seeing further benefits to the look and texture of my skin.
