Dentistry
Dermal fillers are used to restore lost volume, improve facial balance and soften lines. They are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps keep the skin hydrated and supported.
At Evolve Face, dermal filler treatments are designed to create subtle, natural-looking improvements that enhance your existing features.
What dermal fillers can help with
Dermal fillers can be used to:
Treatment areas
Cheek rejuvenation
As we age, volume in the cheeks gradually reduces. Dermal fillers can restore this support and improve the appearance of the mid-face.
Temple rejuvenation
Loss of volume in the temples can make the face appear hollow. Dermal filler can gently restore this area.
Lower face rejuvenation
Fillers can soften lines around the mouth, including nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
Lip treatments
Dermal fillers can be used for subtle lip hydration or to enhance lip shape and volume.
What to expect
Treatment usually takes around 30 minutes. Results are visible immediately, although mild swelling may occur for a few days.
Results typically last between 6 and 18 months depending on the treatment area.
What are dermal fillers made from?
Most dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in the skin.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Results can last between 6 and 18 months depending on the area treated and the product used.
Will my lips look overfilled?
Our approach focuses on natural-looking results. Many patients choose subtle lip hydration rather than increasing volume.
Is dermal filler treatment painful?
Most fillers contain a local anaesthetic and treatment is generally very comfortable.
Can dermal fillers be reversed?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if necessary.
Dermal filler injections are used to restore lost volume to the skin, resulting in a plumper, more youthful appearance, fillers can also be used to improve the shape of your lips and cheeks. At Evolve Dentistry, we have chosen to use dermal fillers that are hyaluronic acid which are the safest to use, such as Restylane and Teoxane.
Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the lips, cheeks, and chin, as well as reduce the appearance of the lines that run from the nose to the mouth – nasolabial folds – and those that extend from the corners of the mouth – Marionette lines. In addition, dermal fillers can be used to smooth out and reduce the appearance of smoker’s lines around the lips.
The number of treatments will depend on your desired results and the extent of the issues that are being treated. However, the majority of patients can expect to have their dermal filler treatment completed in one appointment.
Dermal filler appointments at Evolve Dentistry typically take 30 – 60 minutes.
For dermal filler treatment, we require that our patients attend a no-obligation consultation to discuss the results that they are looking to achieve through treatment and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
During your treatment appointment, we will deliver the appropriate amount of dermal filler product to the agreed areas using either a cannula or a small needle to achieve your desired results.
The advantage of a dentist carrying out this treatment is that Carol can gently give you a dental block to ensure that your treatment is pain-free, this is generally done for lip enhancements.
Yes, they will use numbing cream – which is to be applied 30 – 40 minutes before treatment – to numb the treatment area and make you more comfortable throughout the procedure. This is more commonly used for cheek fillers.
For those who are seeking lip enhancement through dermal filler treatment, we utilise a dental block product to numb the area, as the lips are particularly sensitive.
Results of your dermal filler treatment will be immediately apparent following the procedure. However, the visible results are typically only 80% of the actual final results, with the further 20% improvement becoming apparent in the 2 weeks that follow post-procedure.
Depending on which filler product is utilised and the area treated, dermal filler treatment results can last between 6 and 12 months.
Some of the typical side effects associated with dermal filler treatments are slight bruising and swelling in the treatment area following the procedure, which will wear off over time as the area heals. The appearance and discomfort of bruising and swelling can be mitigated by icing the area and taking pain relief, you will be advised on what to do after your treatment.
Treatment sites may also be tender for up to 1-week post-procedure, and some patients may develop small nodules under the skin at the injection site. If necessary, these can be dissolved but this is not required very often.
Very rarely, an emergency condition can develop if the filler is injected directly into a blood vessel rather than the skin. This requires immediate medical attention, as the filler must be dissolved with an Hyalase injection as quickly possible. Carol is fully trained and capable of administering the appropriate response required to handle this emergency. This is very rare and occurs at the time of treatment so can be dealt with immediately.
Though patients may experience slight swelling and bruising, there is usually no downtime associated with dermal filler treatment, and you may return to work immediately.
At Evolve Dentistry, we advise that our patients refrain from consuming alcohol for 24 hours before their treatment appointment, as alcohol consumption may increase your chances of developing bruising.
It is essential that dermal filler patients refrain from taking aspirin, vitamins C and E, for 48 hours pre-treatment appointment.
There are multiple actions that you can take post procedure to reduce the chances of developing more extensive bruising and swelling and to ensure that the treated area heals properly, including:
We do require a routine review for our dermal filler patients. This typically takes place 2 weeks following the procedure and lasts for 10 minutes. At this appointment we check that you are happy with your treatment. We also take photos to assess the difference that your treatment has achieved.
Are there any absolute contraindications associated with dermal filler treatments?
Dermal fillers can provide a more youthful appearance by plumping and smoothing the skin to improve its visible texture.
Finally, because the injections consist of natural and biodegradable materials, they are not permanent, and the body will eventually break them down, necessitating further treatment. However, the hydrating effects of hyaluronic acid offers restorative benefits that will continually improve the look and texture of skin over time with further treatment.
The cost of your dermal filler treatment at Evolve Dentistry will depend entirely on the extent of the treatment that is necessary.

What are dermal fillers and how do they work?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels typically made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. They work by adding volume, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, and enhancing facial contours. Results are immediate and can create a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Are dermal fillers safe?
When administered by a qualified and experienced professional, dermal fillers are considered safe. All reputable products used in the UK are thoroughly tested and CE-marked for quality and safety. As with any medical treatment, there are risks, but these are minimal when performed in a clinical setting.
How long do dermal fillers last?
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the area treated and the product used, but most results last between 6 to 18 months. Over time, the filler naturally dissolves and is absorbed by the body.
Do dermal filler treatments hurt?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. A topical anaesthetic or fillers containing lidocaine are often used to minimise any pain. The procedure is quick, and any sensitivity usually subsides shortly after.
What areas can be treated with dermal fillers?
Common treatment areas include the lips, cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, chin, and under-eye hollows (tear troughs). Fillers can also be used for non-surgical rhinoplasty and hand rejuvenation.
Is there any downtime after having dermal fillers?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. Most clients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are suitable for adults over 18 who are in good general health and looking to enhance or restore facial volume, reduce lines, or improve symmetry. A thorough consultation is always carried out to ensure suitability.
Can dermal fillers look natural?
Absolutely. When performed by a skilled practitioner, dermal fillers enhance your natural features subtly and beautifully. The goal is always to refresh your appearance without looking ‘overdone’.

Why do gums bleed when you brush?
If you’ve noticed your gums bleeding when brushing your teeth, you’re not alone - and it’s usually a sign your gums are inflamed.
In many cases this happens when plaque builds up along the gum line. The gums become irritated and more fragile, which means they can bleed more easily when brushing.
The good news is that with consistent oral hygiene - brushing thoroughly twice a day and cleaning between your teeth - many people notice improvement within a couple of weeks.
However, if the bleeding continues, it’s worth having it checked. Regular bleeding can sometimes indicate gum disease, and an examination at the practice allows us to assess your gum health and give the right advice.
