Restore youthful volume and definition with expert dermal fillers in London, delivering natural, balanced, and long-lasting facial rejuvenation.
Dermal fillers have become one of the most refined and reliable ways to restore facial volume, soften lines, and enhance definition all without surgery. At Cranley Clinic London, our approach combines medical precision with aesthetic artistry, ensuring every result looks naturally refreshed rather than obviously altered.
This comprehensive guide explains the types of dermal fillers, how long they last, and what results you can expect from expert, London-led treatment.
Understanding Dermal Fillers
As the face matures, collagen, elastin, and fat gradually diminish, leading to a loss of volume and support. Dermal fillers replace this structure using advanced, biocompatible gels placed just beneath the skin. They can subtly restore youthful contours, refine symmetry, or enhance features such as the lips or jawline.
At Cranley Clinic, every treatment is fully tailored. We assess your facial anatomy, proportions, and goals to create a natural-looking result that enhances your unique features.
We use only CE-marked, premium filler products including Teosyal, Restylane, and Ellansé, chosen for their proven safety and exceptional results.
Types of Dermal Fillers
Not all fillers are the same. Each formulation has unique properties suited to different concerns and areas of the face.
1. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance responsible for hydration and volume in the skin. HA-based fillers, such as Teosyal and Restylane, integrate seamlessly to smooth wrinkles, replace lost volume, and refine contours.
- Best for: lips, cheeks, tear troughs, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines
- Longevity: typically 6 to 12 months, depending on metabolism and treatment area
- Benefits: reversible, hydrating, soft texture, and immediate results
At Cranley Clinic, HA fillers are formulated with lidocaine for comfort. They can refresh the mid-face, lift sagging skin, or contour the chin and jawline with minimal downtime.
2. Collagen-Stimulating Fillers (Ellansé)
For patients seeking a longer-lasting result, Ellansé offers a new generation of filler technology. Rather than simply filling space, Ellansé contains polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres that trigger the body’s own collagen production.
- Best for: mid-face, temples, chin, jawline, and hands
- Longevity: often 18 months or more
- Benefits: firm, natural lift that improves as collagen renews
Because Ellansé encourages your body to rebuild its own collagen, results develop gradually and look beautifully natural. This makes it an ideal complement to other non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments offered at Cranley Clinic.
What to Expect During Treatment
Dermal filler treatments at Cranley Clinic are medically supervised and designed for comfort and precision.
- Consultation and Assessment
Your aesthetic practitioner assesses facial structure and discusses your goals to create a personalised plan. - Preparation and Numbing
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to maximise comfort. - Precision Placement
Using micro-needle or cannula techniques, fillers are placed exactly where needed for shape and balance. - Immediate Results
Most patients see visible improvement immediately smoother contours, softer lines, and restored definition.
Sessions usually last 20–45 minutes, and any swelling or mild bruising typically subsides within days.
How Long Dermal Fillers Last
The longevity of fillers depends on the product used, the area treated, and your individual metabolism.
On average:
- Hyaluronic acid fillers: 6–12 months
- Ellansé (collagen-stimulating fillers): 18–24 months
To maintain your best results, we recommend periodic maintenance sessions. Over time, repeat treatments can help improve your skin’s overall structure and elasticity.
Many patients combine fillers with anti-wrinkle injections for a complete facial rejuvenation smoothing dynamic lines while restoring lost volume.
What Results Look Like
At Cranley Clinic, dermal fillers are never about overfilling or chasing trends. The goal is to enhance your natural balance and restore youthful vitality without changing your expression.
You can expect:
- Softer lines and folds
- Restored volume in cheeks or temples
- Enhanced lip shape and definition
- Improved jawline and chin contour
- Brighter, less hollow under-eye area
Results are visible right away and continue to refine over the first week. With collagen-stimulating fillers, firmness and smoothness often improve for months after treatment.
Safety and Expertise at Cranley Clinic
All filler treatments are carried out by qualified medical professionals with extensive experience in dermatology and aesthetic medicine.
Cranley Clinic uses only CE-marked and clinically tested products to ensure the highest standard of safety.
Our philosophy is simple: Every face tells a different story.
We use anatomical precision and artistic restraint to restore balance ensuring you look refreshed, not overdone.
For patients seeking subtle rejuvenation beyond fillers, treatments such as Thermage facial tightening or Sofwave skin lifting can complement volume restoration with improved tone and firmness.
Aftercare and Maintenance
After your treatment:
- Avoid alcohol, makeup, and vigorous exercise for 24 hours
- Keep the treated area clean and avoid unnecessary touching
- Use a gentle cleanser and broad-spectrum SPF
- Book your optional review after two weeks
Results typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the filler used and your body’s response. Maintenance sessions help preserve symmetry and structure over time.
Combining Fillers with Other Treatments
Many patients choose to enhance their results by combining fillers with other facial rejuvenation treatments for a more comprehensive effect:
- Anti-wrinkle injections – soften lines caused by facial movement
- Endolift laser tightening – firm the lower face and jawline
- Sofwave Brow Lift – rejuvenate the upper face and lift tired eyes
This holistic approach restores harmony to the entire face, combining structure, smoothness, and lift.
