Dermal Fillers on Harley Street
Natural-Looking Facial Enhancement in London
Restore · Define · Balance
Dermal fillers restore volume, structure, and balance to a face that has changed with age — or simply enhance natural proportion where a patient wants more definition. The goal is always the same: a result that looks like a more refreshed, defined version of you, not a different face.
How Dermal Fillers Work
Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid — a substance naturally present in the skin, where it holds water and supports volume and hydration. Injected precisely beneath the skin or against the underlying bone, hyaluronic acid filler restores volume that has been lost with age, builds structure and definition where a patient wants more contour, or smooths and softens specific areas of the face.
Unlike anti-wrinkle injections, which work by relaxing muscle activity, filler works by adding volume and structure. The two are frequently used together — filler to restore the underlying architecture of the face, anti-wrinkle injections to soften the dynamic lines layered on top of it — for a more complete result than either treatment alone.
“Filler should restore what time has taken away, or refine what was always there — never create something that looks unfamiliar. The best compliment a patient can receive after treatment is being told they look well, not being asked what they’ve had done.” Dr Philippe Hamida-Pisal, PHP Aesthetic-Wellness
Ultrasound-Assisted Dermal Fillers: Precision and Safety
At PHP Aesthetic-Wellness on Harley Street, our clinicians use high-frequency ultrasound when clinically appropriate to support facial assessment and dermal filler treatment planning.
Ultrasound can help visualise relevant anatomy beneath the skin, including blood vessels, tissue layers and some previously placed fillers. Where indicated, this information can help guide filler placement and inform decisions about the safest approach for an individual patient.
Ultrasound may also assist in assessing certain filler-related complications. It is an additional clinical tool, not a guarantee against complications, and does not replace detailed anatomical knowledge or careful injection technique.
Ask at your consultation whether ultrasound assessment or ultrasound-guided treatment would be appropriate for you.
What Dermal Fillers Can Address

Restores volume lost to ageing or enhances cheekbone projection, lifting the mid-face and softening the appearance of nasolabial folds as a secondary benefit.

Defines and sharpens the jawline, restoring a cleaner jaw-to-neck transition or building structure where the natural jawline is softer or less angular.
Men’s jawline page →Chin

Duration

Longevity varies by product, treatment area and individual factors; your clinician will explain what to expect.
Safety and Aftercare
Dermal fillers are medical procedures. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, tenderness and temporary asymmetry. Less common complications include infection, lumps and delayed inflammatory reactions. Rarely, filler can block a blood vessel, causing tissue damage or visual impairment, including blindness.
Your clinician should assess your medical history, explain the product and treatment plan, discuss alternatives and obtain informed consent. Seek urgent medical assessment if you develop severe or increasing pain, unusual skin blanching or mottling, or any change in vision after treatment.
