At Virtue .31 Medical Skin Clinic, our approach to dermal fillers is all about subtle enhancement, facial balance, and helping you feel more confident in your own skin. Whether you're looking to soften fine lines, restore lost volume, or enhance natural contours, our treatments are carefully tailored to your unique features—never overdone, always refined.

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps to hydrate, plump, and maintain structure. As we age, levels of hyaluronic acid and collagen decline, leading to volume loss, deeper folds, and less defined facial contours. Fillers work to restore that volume, enhance facial definition, and create a smoother, more youthful appearance—without changing who you are.

At Virtue .31, we only use high-quality, medically approved filler products and perform all treatments with a deep understanding of facial anatomy. Every appointment begins with a full consultation to assess your facial structure, understand your goals, and create a treatment plan that complements your natural look.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers:

• Restores Volume Loss – Ideal for cheeks, temples, jawline, and under the eyes.
• Smooths Lines & Folds – Softens nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and fine lines around the mouth.
• Enhances Facial Features – Gently defines and sculpts areas such as lips, chin, and jawline.
• Hydrates & Supports the Skin – Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin, improving texture and elasticity.
• Quick Treatment with Minimal Downtime – Most treatments take 30–45 minutes, with little to no recovery time.
• Customised to You – Every face is different. We take a personalised approach to ensure balanced, natural-looking results that enhance—never overpower—your unique beauty.

Whether you’re looking to refresh tired-looking skin or enhance your natural features, dermal fillers offer a safe, effective, and versatile solution with results that can last from 6 to 18 months depending on the area treated and the product used.

What Dermal Fillers Can Treat

Dermal fillers are incredibly versatile and can be used to address a wide range of concerns. Common treatment areas include:

• Lips – for soft volume, shape, and hydration
• Cheeks – to restore mid-face volume and lift
• Jawline & Chin – for subtle contouring and structure
• Nasolabial Folds & Marionette Lines – to soften deeper lines around the mouth
• Under-Eye (Tear Trough) – to improve the appearance of hollowness or tiredness

Frequently Asked Questions

Do dermal fillers hurt?
Most fillers contain a local anaesthetic called lidocaine to minimise discomfort. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the treatment, but it’s generally very well tolerated. We can also apply a topical numbing cream beforehand for added comfort.

How long do results last?
The longevity of your results depends on the area treated, the type of filler used, and your individual metabolism. On average, results last between 6 and 18 months. Over time, the filler naturally breaks down and is absorbed by the body.

Will I look ‘overdone’?
Not at Virtue .31. Our goal is always a natural, refreshed appearance. We take a conservative, artistic approach and will never recommend more than is needed. Most people will simply notice that you look well-rested, more lifted, or subtly enhanced.

How quickly will I see results?
Results are visible immediately after treatment, though there may be some initial swelling or minor bruising. The final result typically settles within 5 to 7 days.

Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience swelling, redness, or small bruises at the injection site, but these usually resolve within a few days. Most clients return to normal activities straight away.

Aftercare Advice

To get the best from your dermal filler treatment, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and makeup for 24 hours. Try to avoid touching or massaging the area unless advised to do so. Keep the area clean and avoid extreme heat or cold (like saunas or ice packs) for the first couple of days. If any mild swelling or bruising occurs, this will usually settle within 48–72 hours. Arnica gel can help speed up healing if needed.

We always offer a follow-up appointment if you'd like to check your results, and we're available to answer any questions throughout your treatment journey.
