Dermal Fillers
Dermal Filler Treatment in Inverness | Glow Medspa
Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical aesthetic treatment used to restore lost volume, enhance facial features and support overall facial balance. At Glow Medspa, a nurse-led aesthetic clinic in Inverness, dermal filler treatments are carried out following a detailed consultation and facial assessment to ensure they are appropriate for your individual concerns.
Dermal fillers are commonly used to address concerns such as loss of facial volume, facial asymmetry, and skin ageing, helping to restore structure and soften the appearance of lines while maintaining natural facial movement.
Our approach focuses on subtle, natural results, enhancing your existing features rather than changing them.
What concerns can Dermal Fillers treat?
Dermal fillers may be used to treat a variety of aesthetic concerns, including:
• Loss of facial volume
• Deep lines and folds
• Facial contour and definition
• Lip enhancement
• Jawline definition
• Chin projection
• Tear trough hollows under the eyes
• Facial asymmetry
Dermal fillers are commonly recommended for patients experiencing loss of volume, one of the most common signs of facial ageing.
Depending on your concerns, dermal fillers may also be used as part of treatments designed for facial beautification or under-eye concerns.
How do Dermal Fillers work?
Most dermal fillers used in aesthetic medicine are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and structure.
When carefully placed beneath the skin, dermal fillers can:
• restore lost volume
• support facial structure
• improve facial balance
• soften deeper lines and folds
Hyaluronic acid fillers also attract water within the skin, helping improve hydration and skin quality in treated areas.
What happens during the appointment?
Your appointment will begin with a comprehensive consultation at our Inverness aesthetic clinic.
During this consultation your practitioner will discuss:
• your aesthetic concerns
• medical history
• facial anatomy and suitability for treatment
• expected outcomes and potential risks
If dermal filler treatment is appropriate, small amounts of filler are carefully injected into specific areas using a needle or cannula. Treatment time varies depending on the areas being treated but typically takes 30–45 minutes.
Local anaesthetic may be used to improve comfort during the procedure.
When will I see results?
Results from dermal filler treatment are usually visible immediately after treatment, although mild swelling may temporarily affect the appearance during the first few days.
Final results are typically visible after 1–2 weeks, once swelling has settled and the filler has integrated within the tissue.
Depending on the area treated and the type of filler used, results may last 6–18 months, although this varies between individuals.
