Refine, Restore & Refresh

If you’re feeling like your skin is less plump, smooth and hydrated than it used to be, dermal fillers can help to turn back time and restore your natural volume, leaving you looking refreshed and subtly enhanced.

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume, enhance contours, and smooth lines in the face. Unlike anti-wrinkle injections that relax muscles, fillers work by adding volume beneath the skin’s surface. Most modern fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture, providing instant volume and hydration.

At The York Dental Suite, Dr Valencia uses advanced injection techniques to deliver natural-looking results that enhance your unique features while maintaining facial harmony and balance.

York dental

We use premium, FDA-approved dermal fillers from leading manufacturers like Juvéderm® and Restylane®, as well as Biostimulators Sculptra®, Radiesse® and Ellansé®.

Dermal filler treatments are ideal for individuals who:

  •   Want to restore lost facial volume
  •   Seek to enhance specific facial features
  •   Wish to smooth static lines and wrinkles
  •   Desire a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation

Areas We Treat

Tear Trough: Reduces under-eye hollows and dark circles for a refreshed, well-rested appearance

Mid-Face: Restores volume to cheeks, lifts sagging skin, and creates youthful contours

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: Reshapes and balances the nose without surgery by smoothing bumps, lifting the tip, or improving symmetry

Jawline: Defines and sculpts the jaw for a more contoured, balanced profile

Chin: Augments and projects the chin, improving facial proportions

Lower Face: Addresses volume loss in the lower face, restoring structure and definition

Marionette Lines: Softens lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin

Lips: Enhances volume, shape, and definition; corrects asymmetry; smooths vertical lip lines

Biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse, Ellansé) work in a different way by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen from under the skin. This leads to a more gradual enhancement over time, rather than the instant results from HA filler. Biostimulators are perfect for:

  •   Full-face volume restoration
  •   Correction of age-related volume loss
  •   Improvement of skin quality and texture
  •   Subtle, gradual enhancement

Benefits

  •   Immediate visible results (except biostimulators, which work gradually)
  •   Restores youthful volume and contours
  •   Natural-looking enhancement when performed expertly
  •   Minimal downtime
  •   Customisable to your specific goals
  •   Can be reversed if necessary (HA fillers)
  •   Long-lasting but not permanent
  •   Improves skin hydration and quality
  •   Boosts confidence and self-image
  •   Biostimulators provide gradual, natural-looking results that can last 2+ years

Step-by-Step Process

We start every treatment with a detailed consultation, where Dr Valencia will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns and goals, review your medical history, and create a personalised plan for you.

After thorough cleansing and preparation, the injection points will be marked to ensure precise placement before the product is carefully injected into the target areas using an ultra-fine needle or cannula. Dr Valencia may gently massage and mold the product to ensure smooth, even distribution and optimal contour.

Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive detailed guidance on aftercare to ensure a quick recovery. In total, you’ll be with us for around 45 minutes for your first visit, and less for follow up sessions.

After HA dermal fillers, you’ll see immediate results but may be swollen. When the swelling subsides, after 2-4 weeks, you’ll see the full settled results. The effect will last for 6-12 months, depending on the area treated and individual metabolism and lifestyle factors.

Biostimulators work more gradually, with results appearing after 2-3 months as collagen production increases. You’ll see the full results 3-6 months after completing your treatment, with cumulative improvements, and may continue to see changes for up to 12 months afterwards.

WHAT RESULTS CAN YOU EXPECT?

Dermal fillers can:

  •   Restore lost facial volume
  •   Enhance and define facial features
  •   Smooth static wrinkles and folds
  •   Create more balanced facial proportions
  •   Improve facial contours and definition
  •   Provide natural-looking, age-appropriate results

Dermal fillers cannot:

  •   Stop the aging process (though they can turn back the clock)
  •   Tighten significantly loose or sagging skin (surgical procedures may be needed)
  •   Provide permanent results (this is actually a benefit, allowing adjustments over time)
  •   Replace the need for good skincare and healthy lifestyle
  •   Dramatically change your appearance (subtle enhancement is the goal)

Treatment Fees

Prices will vary on your bespoke treatment plan, but as a guide HA dermal fillers start from £400 per syringe.

Your treatment includes:

  •   Thorough consultation with Dr Valencia and personalised treatment plan
  •   Premium products and detailed aftercare instructions
  •   Two-week follow-up review (if needed)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Does it hurt?

Most patients find dermal filler treatments tolerable. We use topical numbing cream before treatment, and most modern fillers contain local anesthetic (lidocaine) that provides additional comfort during the injection process. Sensitivity varies by area – lips tend to be more sensitive, while cheeks are usually quite comfortable. Many patients describe the sensation as pressure or brief pinching. We can also offer dental blocks for lip treatments if needed.

2. How long does the treatment take?

The injection process typically takes 45 minutes depending on the number of areas being treated. Your first appointment will be longer (up to 60 minutes) as it includes a detailed consultation with Dr Valencia. Subsequent treatments are usually quicker. Biostimulator treatments may take slightly longer as the injection technique is more extensive.

3. Can I go back to work after treatment?

Many patients return to work the same day or the next day, though you should expect some swelling and possibly bruising. The amount of downtime varies by individual and area treated. Tear trough and lip treatments typically cause more noticeable swelling. If you have an important event, we recommend scheduling treatment at least 2-3 weeks in advance to allow all swelling and bruising to resolve completely.

4. When will I see results?

For hyaluronic acid fillers, results are visible immediately, though initial swelling may make results appear fuller than the final outcome. Final results are apparent after 2-4 weeks once swelling has completely subsided. For biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse, Ellansé), results develop gradually over 2-6 months as your body produces new collagen. This creates a more natural, subtle enhancement that improves over time.

5. How long do results last?

Duration varies by product and treatment area. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6-18 months depending on the area (lips metabolise faster, while cheeks and jawline last longer). Biostimulators can last 1-4 years, with Sculptra providing results for up to 2 years or more. Individual factors like metabolism, lifestyle, and the amount of product used also affect longevity. Dr Valencia will discuss expected duration during your consultation.

6. What’s the cost?

Pricing depends on the treatment area and amount of product needed. Single syringes range from £300-£450 for hyaluronic acid fillers. Some areas (like jawline) may require multiple syringes for optimal results. Biostimulators range from £450-£550 per treatment. During your consultation, Dr Valencia will provide a detailed quote based on your specific goals. We offer package deals and financing options to make treatment more accessible.

7. Am I a suitable candidate?

Most healthy adults seeking to restore volume or enhance facial features are suitable candidates. You may not be suitable if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin infections, severe allergies, or certain medical conditions. The best way to determine suitability is through a consultation with Dr Valencia, who will assess your individual circumstances and goals.

8. What are the risks?

When performed by an experienced practitioner like Dr Valencia, dermal fillers are very safe. Common temporary side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness. Serious complications are rare but can include vascular occlusion (blood vessel blockage), infection, or allergic reaction. Dr Valencia is trained in preventing and managing all potential complications and has emergency protocols in place. We use only genuine, licensed products to ensure safety.

9. Who performs the treatment?

All dermal filler treatments are performed exclusively by Dr Camila Valencia, a qualified aesthetic doctor with extensive training in advanced injection techniques and facial anatomy. Dr Valencia has years of experience and has completed numerous courses in filler placement and complication management. She takes a conservative, natural approach to ensure beautiful, balanced results.
