Volume Replacement

What to Expect?

These treatments involve the use of a prescription-only medical device, administered by a qualified registered nurse under the supervision of a prescribing practitioner. The aim is to restore volume and support facial structure, with a natural-looking result.

  • Treatment time: Around 30–45 minutes

  • Downtime: May include temporary swelling or bruising

  • Results: Generally visible immediately, with lasting effects that vary depending on the individual and treatment area

Common Treated Areas

Clients often seek volume restoration in areas such as:

  • Cheeks

  • Lips

  • Chin or jawline

  • Nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth)

How Long Do Dermal Filler Lasts?

The effects of dermal filler treatments are temporary but long-lasting. On average, results typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the product used and the area treated.

  • Lips: 6 to 9 months

  • Cheeks & Jawline: 12 to 18 months

  • Nasolabial folds / Marionette lines: 9 to 12 months

Over time, the body gradually metabolises the product, and touch-up treatments may be recommended to maintain results. Your nurse will advise you on realistic expectations and a suitable treatment plan during your consultation.

How Much Does Volume Replacement Cost?

Possible Side Effects

  • Common Side Effects: Temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days.

  • Less Common Side Effects: Lumps or bumps, asymmetry, or a bluish tint under the skin (Tyndall effect) if the filler is injected too close to the surface.

  • Rare Side Effects: Infection, allergic reactions, or vascular occlusion, which requires immediate medical attention

All risks, including rare complications, will be discussed during your consultation. Prompt reporting of any unusual symptoms post-treatment is strongly advised.

As we age, natural facial volume gradually decreases, which can contribute to a tired or sunken appearance. Volume replacement treatments are designed to restore volume and enhance facial contours, helping to create a refreshed and more balanced look.

How Volume Replacement Works?

As we age, we naturally lose volume in areas such as the cheeks, lips, temples, and under the eyes due to a decrease in collagen, fat, and bone density. Volume replacement treatments use a prescription-only dermal filler product to restore this lost volume, helping to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.

The treatment involves injecting a soft, gel-like substance under the skin to lift, contour, and hydrate targeted areas. This can help reduce the appearance of deep lines (like nasolabial folds), improve facial symmetry, and create subtle, natural enhancement of your features.

Treatments are administered by a qualified registered nurse following a personalised consultation. Results are typically visible immediately and can last from several months to over a year, depending on the area treated and the product used.
