Overview …
Most commonly made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found within the body that helps maintain hydration and structure in the skin. The type, placement and amount of filler are carefully selected based on the area being treated and the depth of support required.
When placed beneath the skin, fillers can:
• Restore lost volume
• Support facial structure
• Improve the appearance of deeper lines and folds
As hyaluronic acid levels decline with age, the skin can lose support and definition. Dermal fillers work by replacing this lost volume and helping to re-establish balance within the face.
Because they integrate with the skin and attract water, they also contribute to improved hydration and skin quality over time.

Dermal fillers at Mirabel
At Mirabel, dermal filler treatment is carefully tailored to the individual, with product selection and placement based on the specific area and the type of correction required.
We use the full Belotero range of dermal fillers, allowing different textures and consistencies to be selected depending on the treatment area.
This allows for:
• Softer fillers in delicate areas such as under the eyes
• More structured fillers for areas requiring support, such as the cheeks or jawline
• Precise placement to maintain natural facial proportions
Treatment is planned with a focus on restoring balance and structure, rather than simply adding volume.
A consultation is an essential part of this process, ensuring that treatment is appropriate and aligned with the individual’s facial anatomy and goals.
Where dermal fillers work
Dermal fillers can be used to address a range of concerns, including:
• Deeper lines and folds
• Loss of volume in the cheeks or temples
• Lip enhancement and definition
• Jawline and chin contouring
• Under-eye hollowing (in selected cases)
They may also be used to subtly reshape or rebalance facial features.
What to expect
Treatment typically takes around 45–60 minutes and will involve the use of a topical anaesthetic to improve comfort.
The filler is placed using a series of small injections into targeted areas.
Following treatment, it is common to experience:
• Mild swelling or redness
• Occasional bruising
• Slight tenderness in the treated area
These effects are usually temporary and settle within a few days.
Results are visible immediately, with final results becoming more settled over the following days. Effects typically last between 3 and 6 months, depending on the area treated and individual factors.
What can influence results
Results from dermal fillers can vary depending on:
• The area being treated
• The type of filler used
• Individual metabolism and lifestyle
• Ongoing changes in facial structure
Because the face continues to change over time, treatments may be adjusted at future appointments to maintain balance and proportion.
Contraindications and suitability
As with any injectable treatment, there are potential risks and side effects associated with dermal fillers.
Common, temporary effects include swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness at the injection sites. These are expected and typically settle within a few days.
Less common risks may include:
• Lumps or unevenness within the lips
• Prolonged swelling or bruising
• Infection
• Reactivation of cold sores
Rare but more serious complications can occur, including vascular occlusion, where filler affects blood flow in a vessel. This requires prompt medical assessment and treatment.
At Mirabel, treatments are carried out in a medical setting with appropriate protocols in place to minimise risk and manage complications should they arise. Patients are given clear aftercare advice and guidance on when to seek review.
