Treatment Duration
Dermal fillers take approximately one hour to administer.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
One very popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure to treat fine lines and wrinkles on the face is dermal filler injections. It can also be used to restore volume loss around the mouth, eyes, cheeks, chin, and jawline when collagen production has decreased to such an extent that your skin has started to thin, lose its elasticity, and start to sag.
Dermal fillers can be injected to add volume and help address sagging, as well as making facial features more symmetrical, smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, and plumping up cheeks and lips.
It’s commonly used to treat marionette lines (running from chin to mouth), lines around the mouth and nasolabial lines (running from nose to mouth). It can also be used to subtly add volume and definition to the lips and cheeks, giving a rejuvenating plumping and lifting effect.
There are different types of dermal filler, but here at The Nordic Skin Clinic, we only use the premium colourless hyaluronic acid gel of the highest quality to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the skin while adding volume where it’s needed. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally within the skin, which is why it’s one of the more popular choices for dermal fillers.
In terms of benefits, dermal filler results can be seen immediately, with the procedure usually taking less than an hour to complete. Because it’s non-invasive, there’s minimal downtime, so you should be able to get on with your day as soon as your treatment session is complete.
They’re also a very cost-effective option compared to other surgical procedures, and the results are both immediate and typically long-lasting, with some fillers lasting for months, if not years.
It’s important to check that your choice of medical professional prescriber has the necessary qualifications and experience to carry out this procedure safely.
Here at The Nordic Skin Clinic, fully qualified Nurse Prescriber Steena Rawlings has an L7 Master’s in aesthetic medicine, specialising in facial aesthetics. She has worked with some of the best doctors and surgeons in the sector, as well as receiving specialist training in Harley Street, London.

Marionette lines
Dermal fillers can be used to treat marionette lines, which run from the mouth down to the chin. Injections are administered around the corners of the mouth to restore facial volume. This treatment is most successful when the lines are in the early stages of development, as it can be more difficult to address deeper folds.
Nasolabial lines
Nose to mouth (nasolabial) line dermal fillers are used to restore volume to the deep lines and wrinkles that run down from the nose to the corners of the mouth. These lines develop because of cheek fat deflation, which naturally occurs as we age. Combining this treatment with cheek augmentation can deliver even more impressive results.
Lips/cheeks
Contouring effects can also be achieved with dermal fillers when applied to the cheekbones and lips, adding definition to the mouth and outline of the face.
Jaw/chin
Dermal fillers can be used to deliver instant and effective enhancement of the appearance of the jaw and chin area. Fillers can help to define, shape and adjust your profile, as well as combatting jowling.
