At TM Aesthetics in Glasgow, we believe in enhancing your natural beauty — not changing it. Dermal fillers are one of the most versatile and effective treatments we offer, whether you’re looking to soften fine lines, restore lost facial volume, or subtly sculpt and contour your features.
By working in harmony with your natural bone structure and facial proportions, we can achieve beautiful, balanced results that enhance your appearance while keeping you looking like you.
If you’ve been considering dermal fillers, here’s a clear, honest guide to what the treatment involves, what you can expect, and how it can subtly transform your look.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made from hyaluronic acid — a naturally occurring substance in our skin known for holding moisture and keeping tissues plump and hydrated.
When carefully placed into the skin, fillers restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and can even reshape areas of the face such as the cheeks, chin, jawline, and lips.
At TM Aesthetics, we use only premium, medical-grade hyaluronic acid fillers to ensure safe, reliable, and natural-looking results.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
After your treatment, you might notice a little swelling or tenderness, which usually settles within a few days. From there, your body will naturally begin to break down the filler over time.
Most people can enjoy their results for around 6 to 12 months, depending on factors like the treatment area, the type of filler used, and individual metabolism.
You can help maintain your results by staying well-hydrated, following a good skincare routine, and leading a healthy lifestyle — all of which support your skin’s overall health and appearance.
What Happens During a Dermal Filler Appointment?
We always begin with a thorough consultation to understand your concerns, goals, and facial anatomy. If we feel another treatment might suit your needs better, we’ll explain your options honestly.
During the procedure:
- The treatment area is cleansed and numbed with a topical anaesthetic for your comfort.
- We use precise techniques tailored to your facial structure, placing the filler carefully to achieve natural, harmonious results.
- You can opt for a subtle refresh or a more defined, contoured look — it’s entirely your choice, and we’ll guide you safely either way.
- After placing the filler, we gently massage the area to help it settle smoothly and minimise swelling.
- Finally, we’ll go through detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
The entire process is quick, with minimal downtime, making it an ideal lunchtime treatment.
Aftercare Advice
To ensure optimal results and reduce the risk of complications, we recommend:
Avoid for 24-48 hours:
- Touching or massaging the treated areas.
- Going to the gym, saunas, steam rooms, or hot tubs.
- Drinking alcohol.
- Applying heavy pressure on your face — if you tend to sleep on your front or side, try propping yourself up and sleeping on your back.
What you should do:
- Stay well-hydrated, as hyaluronic acid binds beautifully with water to enhance your results.
- Use a cool compress or ice pack if you experience mild swelling or tenderness — this can soothe the skin and reduce inflammation.
Remember, a little care in the first couple of days makes a big difference in the longevity and quality of your results.
