Dermal Fillers
Restore Volume, Support Structure, Maintain Natural Proportions
Facial ageing isn't simply about developing lines. Over time, changes in skin, fat, bone and facial support can contribute to loss of volume, altered contours and changes around the cheeks and lower face.
Dermal fillers can be used selectively to restore lost volume, soften particular lines and support facial contours without changing the character of your face.
At ReNu Medical Aesthetics, Dr Jackie takes a conservative, individualised approach to dermal filler treatment, with the emphasis on balance, proportion and natural-looking rejuvenation rather than simply adding volume.
Every treatment begins with an assessment of your facial anatomy, skin, concerns and treatment goals.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels containing hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present within the skin and other tissues.
Different fillers have different characteristics, allowing them to be selected and placed according to the area being treated and the effect required.
Depending on your individual needs, dermal filler may be used to:
- Restore age-related volume loss
- Support and enhance facial contours
- Soften folds and lines
- Improve facial balance and proportion
- Create subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation
The aim is not to fill every line or replace every change associated with ageing. Sometimes treating less — or choosing another approach altogether — produces the more natural result.
Treatment Areas
Dermal filler may be considered for areas including:
- Cheeks — to restore or support mid-face volume and contour
- Nasolabial folds — to soften prominent folds between the nose and mouth
- Marionette area — to soften lines and loss of support around the lower face
- Other areas of facial volume loss — where appropriate following assessment
For treatment specifically involving the lips, please see our Lip Augmentation page.
What to Expect
Consultation
Dr Jackie will assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, medical history and treatment goals. Rather than looking at an individual line in isolation, the face is considered as a whole before deciding whether filler is appropriate.
Treatment
Hyaluronic acid dermal filler is carefully placed using a needle or cannula, depending on the area and treatment required. The amount and type of filler used are individually selected rather than following a standard formula.
Downtime
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising are common following dermal filler treatment. These usually improve over the following days, although recovery varies according to the area treated and the individual.
Results
A change is usually visible immediately, although the appearance will continue to settle as initial swelling resolves. Results are temporary and longevity varies considerably according to the area treated, product used and individual factors.
Is Dermal Filler the Right Treatment for Me?
Not every line, hollow or change in facial contour needs filler.Sometimes concerns attributed to “volume loss” are better addressed through medical-grade skincare, skin boosters, regenerative treatments, microneedling, professional skin peels or other approaches to improving skin quality.
In other situations, a small amount of carefully placed dermal filler may provide useful structural support without the need for more extensive treatment.
Dr Jackie will discuss the different options with you, including when no filler at all may be the better choice. You don't need to decide what product, quantity or treatment area you need before your consultation.

Dermal fillers FAQs
That is specifically what we aim to avoid.
Dermal filler treatment at ReNu is based on facial proportions and your individual anatomy, using treatment only where Dr Jackie believes it is likely to produce a worthwhile and natural-looking improvement.
The objective is for you to look fresher and more balanced, not obviously “filled”.
Dermal filler involves injections, so some discomfort is possible.
Many hyaluronic acid fillers contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, and additional measures can be used where appropriate to make treatment more comfortable.
Individual experiences vary and the treatment will be explained before you decide whether to proceed.
Dermal fillers are temporary.
Their longevity varies according to the product used, the anatomical area, the amount and placement of filler and individual factors. Results may persist for several months and sometimes longer.
Rather than treating automatically at a fixed interval, Dr Jackie can reassess the area and advise whether further treatment is actually needed.
Yes. Dermal fillers are medical procedures and are not risk-free.
Common temporary effects include swelling, tenderness, redness and bruising. Less common complications can also occur, including infection, lumps or nodules and unwanted cosmetic results.
Rare but potentially serious complications include inadvertent injection into or compression of a blood vessel, which can compromise the blood supply to the skin and, extremely rarely, affect vision.
Dr Jackie will discuss the relevant risks, alternatives and aftercare with you before treatment so that you can make an informed decision.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can usually be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase (Filler Dissolving)when clinically appropriate.
If you are concerned about existing filler — whether placed at ReNu or elsewhere — Dr Jackie can assess the area and discuss the available options.
I was worried about looking 'done,' but Dr Jackie put me completely at ease. She added just enough volume to my cheeks and softened my smile lines — now I look fresher and "lifted", not different."
