Dermal Fillers – Your questions answered

24 April 2018 | Ahmed Al Saraf

Abstract

Whether you're new to dermal fillers or considering a top-up, it’s only natural to have questions. At Omniya Clinic in London, we believe in helping you feel informed and confident before any treatment. This guide answers the most common questions about dermal fillers - from how they work to what results you can expect.

What Are Dermal Fillers and How Do They Work?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made of hyaluronic acid - a naturally occurring substance in the body that hydrates and volumises the skin. When strategically placed beneath the surface, fillers can restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance your natural contours.

At Omniya, we use advanced filler brands like Juvederm and Teoxane to deliver subtle, natural-looking enhancements tailored to your unique features.

What Areas Can Be Treated with Fillers?

Dermal fillers are versatile and can be used across many areas of the face. Popular treatment zones include:

Am I Suitable for Dermal Fillers?

Most people over the age of 18 are suitable candidates for fillers, but a full consultation is essential. At Omniya, we’ll review your medical history, assess your goals, and guide you through the best approach. Whether you’re looking to rejuvenate, contour, or soften fine lines - we’ll tailor the plan to suit your facial structure and preferences.

Are Dermal Fillers Safe?

When performed by qualified professionals using approved products, dermal fillers are extremely safe. All treatments at Omniya are carried out by experienced aesthetic doctors and medical injectors who understand facial anatomy and patient safety inside out.

We only use clinically tested, FDA-approved products - and we’re fully equipped to dissolve fillers if ever necessary using hyaluronidase. Your peace of mind is our priority.

What Happens During the Treatment?

After cleansing and optional numbing, your practitioner will carefully inject small quantities of filler using either a needle or cannula. Depending on the area, the treatment may take 20 to 45 minutes. You’ll receive full aftercare instructions, and can usually resume normal activity the same day.

We encourage questions throughout the process and aim to make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible.

What Are the Side Effects?

Most side effects are mild and temporary. These can include:

  • Slight swelling or tenderness at the injection site
  • Light bruising (more common in lips and tear troughs)
  • Minor redness or sensitivity

 

These typically resolve within 1–3 days. We advise avoiding intense exercise, alcohol, and heat exposure for 24–48 hours post-treatment to allow the filler to settle smoothly.

When Will I See Results?

You’ll notice immediate improvement, though the final results become clearer once any swelling subsides - usually within a few days. Depending on the treatment area and your metabolism, results can last between 6 and 18 months. Your practitioner will advise on maintenance sessions if needed.

Who Performs the Treatments at Omniya?

All filler treatments are performed by highly qualified professionals, including surgeons, advanced aesthetic doctors and trained medical injectors. We pride ourselves on delivering bespoke results that enhance your natural beauty - never an exaggerated or artificial look.
