Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, which is a substance your skin produces naturally. As we get older, the levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin reduce, and one of the visible effects of this is a loss of volume and structure in the face. Areas that once looked full and supported start to hollow or sag. Lines that were faint become more defined. The face changes shape in ways that can be subtle at first and then increasingly noticeable.
Dermal fillers restore that lost volume. They can fill out areas that have become hollow, redefine contours that have softened, and smooth lines that have deepened. Used well, they do not change how you look. They bring you back to looking the way you did a few years ago, or simply more rested and refreshed.
At SJ Dental & Facial Aesthetics in Heanor, Derbyshire, all filler treatments are performed by Dr Shraddha Jagani. Her background in dental surgery gives her an advanced understanding of facial anatomy, tissue planes, and the vascular structures of the face. This knowledge is essential for safe precise and beautiful results.
The lips are one of the most requested areas for filler treatment. People come in for all kinds of different reasons. Some want more volume in lips that have always been thin. Some want to restore definition and shape that has faded over the years. Others have noticed their lips starting to thin or lose their border as they age, and want to address that.
Dr Jagani uses hyaluronic acid filler to improve lip shape, add hydration, restore definition to the lip border, and create better symmetry where needed. The approach is always measured. The goal is never to create an exaggerated result. A well-treated lip should look like a natural, beautiful version of your lip, not like a lip that has had filler.
The cheeks sit at the centre of the face and play a significant role in how youthful and structured your overall appearance looks. When volume in the mid-face reduces with age, the skin loses its support from below, and things start to drift downward. The cheeks flatten, the under-eye area looks hollower, and the lower face can start to look heavier than it once did.
Cheek filler restores volume and lift to the mid-face, improving the overall structure and balance of the face. It can make a surprisingly significant difference not just to the cheeks themselves but to the surrounding areas that benefit from that restored support.
Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from the sides of the nose down to the corners of the mouth. Almost everyone has them to some degree, but they can deepen significantly with age or weight loss, and many people find them one of the features they most want to address. Targeted filler placed carefully in and around this area can soften these folds and restore a more smooth, refreshed appearance to the lower face.
Marionette lines run from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin. They can give the face a downturned, unhappy appearance even when you are relaxed or at rest, which many patients find frustrating. Filler treatment along these lines restores volume and balance to the lower face, softening that downturned look and improving the overall harmony of the face.

Dermal fillers, when performed by a trained and qualified medical professional following a proper consultation, are a widely used and considered safe aesthetic treatment. The hyaluronic acid used in quality filler products is biocompatible, meaning it works with your body rather than against it. It can also be dissolved if needed using a specialised enzyme called hyaluronidase, which gives both practitioner and patient the reassurance that results are reversible.
The importance of choosing a qualified medical practitioner cannot be overstated. Filler treatment involves injecting into a face that has blood vessels, nerves, and anatomical structures that must be understood and respected. Dr Jagani’s medical background and her detailed knowledge of facial anatomy are what make her the kind of practitioner you can trust with this.
Your appointment will start with a consultation. Dr Jagani will carry out a thorough assessment, ask about your concerns and goals, and discuss what she believes is achievable. She will explain what products she would use, where she would place them, and what the results are likely to look like. No treatment will go ahead without your full understanding and consent.
The treatment itself takes around 30 to 60 minutes depending on the areas being treated. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximise comfort. Most patients find the process very manageable. Results are visible immediately, though mild swelling in the first 24 to 48 hours may temporarily affect the final appearance. Within a few days, the swelling settles and the true result becomes clear.
Most hyaluronic acid fillers last between 6 and 18 months depending on the product used, the area treated, and your individual metabolism. Results in the lips tend to metabolise slightly faster than in other areas.
At SJ Dental & Facial aesthetic clinic we use the most trusted, premium, clinically proven products such as Restylane, Teoxane, and other leading brands. The exact product and technique is always chosen according to the treatment area, your skin type, and desired outcome for safe, natural-looking results.
