EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
DERMAL FILLERS

  • Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, most commonly made from hyaluronic acid - a naturally occurring molecule that binds water and supports skin hydration. As we age, the loss of facial volume and elasticity causes lines and sagging. Fillers help reduce static lines and improve skin texture by restoring volume and encouraging hydration beneath the skin’s surface.

    Injectable treatments can be tailored to various areas of the face, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, tear troughs, and more. Our treatment options are fully customised, ensuring subtle facial enhancement and rejuvenated appearance suited to your skin type and facial structure.

  • Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected using a fine needle or cannula depending on the treated area and desired result. These injectable treatments instantly volumise and stimulate collagen production, smoothing the surface of the skin while improving facial definition.

    By supporting underlying tissue and addressing common signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles or loss of definition, dermal filler injections can rejuvenate facial features and support a healthy skincare routine.

    Each appointment typically takes 20–30 minutes, with results visible immediately. Thanks to minimal recovery time, most patients return to daily life quickly, making this an effective alternative to surgical treatments.

  • Dermal fillers offer multiple advantages as a cornerstone of facial contouring treatments. Patients often experience:

    • Restored volume in hollow or sagging areas of the face

    • Youthful definition in the cheeks, chin, and jawline

    • Softening of static lines and wrinkles, such as smile lines filler or marionette lines

    • Brightening of tired eyes with tear trough filler or under-eye filler

    • Improved hydration and skin texture

    • Subtle facial enhancement with results that look natural and balanced

    Whether you’re exploring cosmetic treatments for the first time or seeking a trusted alternative to invasive options, dermal fillers provide a highly adaptable solution.

  • Dermal filler treatments can be used to enhance and restore volume across multiple areas of the face, depending on your goals and facial structure. At Muse Medical Clinic in Harrogate and York, we treat both high-movement and delicate zones with precision and care.

    Popular treatment areas include:

    • Lips: Lip fillers add volume, shape, and hydration for a fuller or more defined appearance.

    • Cheeks: Cheek filler lifts and restores mid-face volume, enhancing youthful contour.

    • Chin and jawline: Chin filler and jawline filler improve definition and create facial balance.

    • Under-eye area: Tear trough filler (or under-eye filler) brightens hollows and reduces tired-looking shadows.

    • Nasolabial folds: Fillers soften smile lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth.

    • Marionette lines: Treating the area below the mouth helps smooth static lines and soften downward shadows.

    • Nose: Filler can reshape or refine the nasal bridge in a non-surgical rhinoplasty.

    • Hands: For patients seeking facial rejuvenation and visible hand rejuvenation, dermal fillers can restore lost volume here too.

    We customise each plan to your facial anatomy, using different types of dermal fillers to create natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with your features. Whether you’re focused on one specific area or seeking a full non-surgical facial rejuvenation, we’ll guide you towards the right treatment options.

  • Each patient receives a comprehensive consultation to explore facial concerns and treatment goals. Whether you're considering lip fillers near me, chin filler for structure, or filler correction treatment following a bad filler experience, we build a bespoke plan tailored to you.

    The treatment involves:
    1. Cleansing the skin and applying numbing cream or a dental block
    2. Carefully injecting the chosen filler into targeted areas
    3. Refining results to achieve a rejuvenated appearance

    Depending on the area and the type of dermal filler used, treatment lasts around 30 minutes, with immediate visible improvements.

  • Dermal fillers provide instant enhancement. From cheek filler to jawline filler and beyond, the face appears lifted, smoother, and more balanced. Depending on the product and treatment area, results can last between 6 and 18 months.

    We also support patients seeking filler correction treatment, including dissolving fillers that were poorly placed elsewhere. At Muse, your facial features are treated with care and precision to restore harmony and confidence.

  • Mild swelling and bruising are common following dermal filler injections, particularly around delicate areas like the lips, tear troughs, and nasolabial folds. These usually resolve within 72 hours. Tenderness and minor redness may also occur.

    To aid recovery:

    • Avoid alcohol, exercise, and heat exposure for 24 hours

    • Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and bruising

    • Refrain from touching the treated area

    All potential risks, including rare complications like vascular occlusion, are explained in detail during your consultation.

  • Prices vary depending on the treatment area, volume of product used, and your aesthetic goals. You’ll receive a clear quote at your consultation.

    “Excellent dermal filler experience. I recently had some dermal filler with Dr. Amy and I can honestly say it was my most positive experience with filler so far. She made me feel at ease and she was great at talking me through the process step by step. I would highly recommend Face etc to anybody considering lip or general facial injectable treatment; it is certainly worth every penny to feel in such safe hands! Thanks again Amy x”

    “Amy was wonderful. I recently visited for derma filler treatment. Although having had the treatment before, I am still a real coward at the sight of a needle. It was my first time with Dr Amy, who was charming and understood my fear. She explained administration of the treatment, which differed from previous occasions. She did a great job, that was very comfortable and I am delighted with the results. What impressed me most was when I discussed treatment of another area. She was very knowledgable about this treatment, honest about how it would affect my appearance and advised that she didn't recommend it in that particular area. I left feeling happy with the effect of the treatment and her honest advice. Thank you Amy”

    “My face still looks natural and has movement but has hugely aided in its quality and prevented ageing. Amy has a real passion for helping people feel and look good, and her honesty makes her trustworthy - if you don’t need a top up she’ll tell you when some will just fill you up, take your money and send you on your way. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!”

The treatment was comfortable, expertly performed & the results were amazing.

    “Dr Amy is highly qualified and experienced in the aesthetic and beauty world. Im at that age where my neck and chest crepes and the Profilo treatment takes all of that away without surgery or neck lift. It’s not painful and the small lunps disappear the same day. I also have it on my face and it gives the skin a nice glow and fills out fine lines. So today I had a top up of Profilo and Botox around the eye area. Dr Amy I consider a friend now as I’ve been coming to her for some time as she’s very approachable and gives me lots of advice about ageing and makes me feel wonderful when leaving the salon. 10/10. Highly recommend.”

Having never had any cosmetic procedures before, Amy was very thorough in explaining the treatment, which made me feel at ease and showed she’s an expert in her field.

    “Splendid lip filler. Dr Amy worked wonders with a tiny bit of lip filler. She used dental block to numb everything and her technique meant there was no bruising or lumpiness. She really improved the symmetry of my mouth and my confidence!”

    “Dr Amy was absolutely fantastic. Dr Amy was absolutely fantastic. Especially in this post-lockdown world, it can be very hard to know what to expect from a spa or clinic similar to this. All the staff were very sensible, and all the correct protective equipment was in use throughout the entire treatment. I had an excellent facial (cheek) fillers treatment, with very satisfactory results. Dr Amy was very clear in explaining the process and expected results, and incredibly gentle with the syringe. Would highly recommend.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Lip fillers typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the product used, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors such as exercise and skincare. Over time, the hyaluronic acid gradually breaks down, and the lips naturally return to their previous state. Regular maintenance appointments help preserve your desired look and support consistent, natural results.

  • Most patients describe filler treatments as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and many filler formulations already contain a gentle anaesthetic to enhance comfort. At MUSE, treatments are performed using precise techniques and ultra-fine needles or cannulas to ensure a smooth, comfortable experience.

  • Mild swelling is completely normal and usually subsides within 24–72 hours, though some areas (like the lips) may take up to a week to fully settle. To reduce swelling, apply a cool compress, avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and sleep with your head slightly elevated. Staying hydrated and avoiding alcohol or salty foods can also help the body recover more quickly.

  • Lip fillers are gel-like injections made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that attracts and retains moisture. They are used to add volume, refine shape, and enhance symmetry while maintaining a natural appearance. At MUSE, each treatment is tailored to your facial balance for subtle, elegant enhancement rather than exaggerated change.

  • No. Filler treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding because there is limited research on their safety in these circumstances. It’s best to wait until after this period before considering any injectable treatments.


  • For the first 24–48 hours, avoid touching or massaging the treated area, intense exercise, saunas, hot baths, and alcohol. Avoid applying makeup for at least 12 hours, and protect the area from direct sunlight. Following your tailored aftercare guidance ensures optimal healing and the best aesthetic outcome.

  • Dermal fillers typically last 9 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area, filler type, and your individual metabolism. Areas with more movement, such as the lips, may metabolise filler more quickly, while structural areas like the cheeks or jawline often last longer. Maintenance treatments can help sustain your refreshed, youthful look.

  • If you’re unhappy with filler results from another clinic, it’s important to book a consultation for a professional assessment. At MUSE, Dr. Amy Watson offers expert filler correction and dissolution treatments using hyaluronidase, a safe enzyme that breaks down unwanted filler. The area can then be carefully rebalanced for a natural, refined result.

  • Lip filler prices vary depending on the product and amount used. At MUSE, treatment plans are bespoke, and prices reflect our use of premium-grade filler and advanced medical expertise. For accurate pricing, please visit our treatment page or book a consultation to receive a personalised quote based on your goals.

  • Views differ depending on intention and interpretation. Generally, lip fillers performed for medical or confidence-related reasons rather than vanity are not considered haram by some scholars. However, we recommend speaking with a trusted religious advisor for personal guidance.

  • It’s best to avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours after your treatment. Alcohol can increase swelling and bruising due to its effect on blood vessels. After this period, you may resume normal habits once the treated area has settled.
