Dermal Fillers
in Cambridge
Dermal fillers are a beautiful way to restore lost volume, enhance natural contours, and soften deeper facial lines.
Volume
Restoration
Restore volume, enhance contours.
As we age, both the skin and underlying tissues undergo changes. These changes affect not only the skin's surface but also deeper structures such as fat, bone, and muscle. The aging process is multifactorial, influenced by genetics, hormones, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Over time, these changes can lead to volume loss, skin laxity, and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) being the most common ingredient. HA is a naturally occurring sugar found in the body; it draws in water for plumpness and hydration. As we age, the natural production of hyaluronic acid in the body slows down. As a result, skin appears less plump and more susceptible to dryness and the formation of wrinkles.
Dermal fillers are a non-surgical treatment option designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, enhance facial features, and improve symmetry, providing a subtle yet effective solution to rejuvenate your appearance.

Dermal Filler FAQs
How long do dermal fillers last?
Results usually last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the area treated, type of filler used and how quickly your body metabolises the product.
Will I look overdone?
At Aésthira, our goal is natural, age-appropriate enhancement. We believe the best results are those that are undetectable. Our aim is to help you look and feel like the best version of yourself—just refreshed.
What is the downtime after dermal filler?
Downtime varies depending on the treatment, but is typically minimal. After your procedure, you may experience redness, swelling, or bruising. Dermal fillers can take up to six weeks to fully integrate into the tissue, so lumps during this time are completely normal. We will cover aftercare and discuss symptoms to monitor post-treatment during your initial consultation.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and soften deeper lines. They are commonly made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, and work by supporting the skin’s structure for a smoother, more refreshed appearance. When placed carefully, dermal fillers deliver subtle, natural-looking results without changing how you look.
How soon will I see results?
You’ll notice improvement immediately after treatment, with results continuing to refine as any swelling settles over the next one to two weeks.
Can dermal fillers be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Fillers pair beautifully with anti-wrinkle treatments, skin boosters, and medical-grade skincare for a full facial refresh. At Aésthira, we highly encourage a multi-modality approach to skin health.
Can dermal fillers be removed?
Yes, hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase (brand name Hyalase), a prescription-only enzyme. When injected, it quickly breaks down the filler. Hyaluronidase is used to reverse unwanted or overfilled areas, correct asymmetry and address complications like vascular occlusion.
Are dermal fillers safe?
When performed by a qualified medical professional using approved products, dermal fillers are considered safe, though, like any procedure, there are risks and benefits. A thorough consultation is essential to ensure you are fully informed about the potential risks and benefits involved. At Aésthira, we are committed to staying current with the latest techniques and evidence-based practices. Your safety is our top priority.
Dermal fillers are regulated by Medsafe, New Zealand’s Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Authority. Medsafe typically approves fillers that are FDA (USA), TGA (Australia), and EMA (European) approved. Dermal fillers are classified as Class II medical devices.
