Dermal Fillers: What you need to know
At The Lili Skin Clinic in Beckington, near Frome and Bath, we believe aesthetic treatments should look natural, feel empowering, and always be performed with your safety and wellbeing in mind.
Dermal fillers are one of our most popular treatments, and when done correctly, they can enhance your features without ever looking overdone.
In this article, we’ll explain what dermal fillers are, how they work, and who they’re for, with everything you need to know before considering treatment.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, typically made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps keep it hydrated and plump.
Unlike anti-wrinkle injections (which relax muscles), fillers add structure, definition and volume to areas where the skin has lost elasticity or fullness.
What Can Dermal Fillers Treat?
Fillers are incredibly versatile. At The Lili Skin Clinic, we use them to:
Smooth fine lines and deep folds (e.g., nasolabial folds, marionette lines)
Enhance natural lip shape and volume
Define the jawline or chin
Restore mid-face volume (cheeks)
Refresh the under-eye area (tear troughs)
Rebalance facial proportions subtly and naturally
Each treatment is tailored to your facial structure and aesthetic goals; there’s no “one size fits all”.
Who Are Dermal Fillers For?
You may benefit from dermal fillers if you:
Have noticed facial volume loss due to ageing
Want to soften lines or folds for a refreshed appearance
Are looking to enhance your lips or cheeks in a subtle way
Want to feel more confident without surgery or downtime
Prefer a doctor-led, ethical approach to facial aesthetics
At The Lili Skin Clinic, Dr Kate takes time to understand your needs, ensuring results are natural, elegant and completely bespoke.
What’s the Treatment Process Like?
Here’s what to expect from dermal filler treatment:
Consultation: A detailed consultation with Dr Kate, a qualified NHS GP with advanced aesthetic training.
Treatment Time: Around 30–45 minutes, depending on the area treated.
Comfort: We use premium fillers with built-in anaesthetics and can apply topical numbing if needed.
Downtime: Minimal. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves within 48–72 hours.
Results: Instant, with best results visible once any swelling subsides (usually within 7–10 days).
Longevity: Most fillers last 6–12 months, depending on the product and treatment area.
Why Choose Doctor-Led Fillers?
Choosing a medical professional for aesthetic treatments is essential for both safety and results. At The Lili Skin Clinic, every treatment is carried out by Dr Kate, a practising GP with over 14 years in medicine and advanced training from Harley Street.
Her unique approach blends clinical expertise with a passion for enhancing natural beauty — no frozen faces, no exaggerated features.
Just you, at your best.
