What it is

Facial Fillers Dermal Fillers

Refresh your look with safe, subtle results.

Dermal filler treatments are designed to restore lost volume, define facial contours, and smooth deep lines — giving a refreshed, natural appearance.

Common areas treated include the cheeks, chin, jawline, marionette, lines and nasolabial lines. Coastal Aesthetics utilises premium hyaluronic acid-based fillers to achieve subtle and balanced results that complement your features without appearing overdone.

What to expect

Your appointment is between 60-90 minutes. Photographs are taken before any treatment and at your follow-up appointment, which is scheduled for 2-3 weeks after the initial treatment.

Most patients won’t experience any pain after having dermal fillers. However, you may experience mild soreness and/or bruising at the injection site. The area may feel slightly firm, swollen, or even lumpy at first, but it will settle as the swelling subsides and the filler integrates with your tissue.

You might not feel the filler at all!

The area should feel soft and natural, and move with facial expressions. In deeper areas, filler may feel firmer to the touch, but usually it’s not noticeable.

FAQs

  • You should not have this procedure when pregnant or breastfeeding.

    Risks include individuals with certain autoimmune conditions, a history of severe allergies, or a history of anaphylaxis. Especially with allergies related to bees or wasps.

  • Topical numbing cream is used before this procedure. Most fillers contain lidocaine (a local anaesthetic) which helps numb the area being injected.

    Sensations you might experience include pressure and mild burning, which subside quickly.

  • Common side effects include redness and bruising and rarer side effects include infection, lumps or filler migration.

    Occasional asymmetrical results can occur but can be adjusted at follow up review.

    Vascular occlusion is rare and must be treated promptly with filler dissolving, to avoid scarring. Serious complications have a low percentage occurrence.
