THE ART OF BALANCE
Filler at its best is quiet. Carefully placed volume that aims to restore contour and balance, so you look rested and still entirely yourself.
TAILORED TO EACH FEATURE
Areas we treat
Each area calls for its own gel, depth and technique. We assess your face as a whole first, then treat only where it will bring balance.
Cheeks
Restores lost volume and a gentle lift to the mid-face for a softer, rested look.
Lips
Subtle shape, definition and hydration, always in proportion with your features.
Jawline
Adds structure and definition along the jaw to bring balance to your profile.
Chin
Refines projection and shape so the lower face sits in harmony with the rest.
Temples
Softens hollowing at the temples for a smoother, more balanced upper face.
Under-eyes
Where suitable, carefully placed filler can soften hollows beneath the eyes.
What is dermal filler?
Dermal filler is a hyaluronic acid gel that can restore volume and lift the soft tissues of the face. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in your skin, where it holds moisture and keeps skin plump, but levels fall as we age. Carefully placed filler replaces some of this lost support, smoothing folds, restoring contours and adding gentle definition.
At A Aesthetics, our medical team offers dermal filler in Coleraine and Derry/Londonderry for the cheeks, lips, jawline, chin, temples and under-eye area. We aim to enhance your features rather than change them, so you still look like yourself. If filler ever needs correcting, we also offer filler dissolving.
What dermal filler can help with
Filler is tailored to each area of the face, from subtle lip definition to restoring cheek volume. Your practitioner will recommend the areas that will make the most natural difference for you.
How dermal filler works
Hyaluronic acid filler does different jobs depending on where it is placed and which gel is chosen.
Restoring volume
Placed deeper, a firmer gel replaces lost volume in areas such as the cheeks and temples, gently lifting the tissues above.
Defining contours
Along the jawline and chin, filler adds structure and definition to bring balance to your profile.
Softening and shaping
Softer gels smooth folds and add shape and hydration to the lips, for a result that moves naturally with your face.
Your dermal filler treatment, step by step
Consultation
We assess your facial proportions, talk through your goals and medical history, and agree a plan that keeps your results natural. Your consultation is complimentary.
Preparation
Your skin is cleansed and the treatment points are marked. Many fillers contain a local anaesthetic, and numbing cream can be applied for extra comfort.
Your treatment
Filler is placed carefully with a fine needle or cannula, checking the balance of your face as we go. Most appointments take around 30 to 60 minutes.
Aftercare and results
You will usually see a difference straight away. Some swelling or bruising for 24 to 48 hours is normal, and results settle fully over around two weeks.

Dermal filler FAQs
Does dermal filler hurt?
Most people find it very manageable. Many fillers contain a local anaesthetic, and we can apply numbing cream beforehand. The lips tend to be the most sensitive area.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may have some swelling, tenderness or bruising for 24 to 48 hours, sometimes a little longer for the lips and under-eyes. Most people return to normal activities straight away.
When will I see results?
You will usually see an improvement straight away. Results settle over around two weeks once any swelling has gone down.
How long does dermal filler last?
It depends on the area and the product used. As a guide, lip and under-eye filler typically lasts 6 to 8 months, jawline 8 to 12 months, and cheeks and chin 12 to 18 months. Your body gradually breaks the filler down naturally.
Will my results look natural?
That is our priority. We use carefully judged amounts to enhance your features in proportion, and we would always rather build gradually than overdo it.
Who should not have dermal filler?
Filler is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, if you have an active skin infection or cold sore in the area, or with certain medical conditions. We check your medical history thoroughly at your consultation.
Can I combine filler with other treatments?
Yes. Filler is often planned alongside skin boosters or polynucleotides to improve skin quality, and we will advise on timing at your consultation.
