You will make an appointment for a dermal filler in Bradford consultation with one of our cosmetic doctors; on the day, your cosmetic doctor will listen to your concerns and then examine your face. They will advise which dermal filler you need and how many syringes you will require to get the desired result.
• If you wish to go ahead on the day, then numbing cream will be applied, your pre-treatment photographs will be taken, and written consent will be obtained.
• Your doctor will then inject small quantities of filler into the areas you require treatment; this takes just a matter of minutes and is not painful as the dermal filler we use contains a built-in anaesthetic.
• The effects are instant, and you will immediately see an improvement.
• You will have some mild swelling and injection marks on the skin, and for this reason, we would not advise returning to work immediately after; most clients are OK to return to everyday life the day after treatment.
• You cannot put any makeup or products over the area treated for 12 hours; you should avoid blood thinners including alcohol that day and sleep on several pillows that night to reduce swelling.

Not really – We will generally apply a numbing cream to numb the skin, and the filler we use has a built-in anaesthetic, which makes this procedure relatively painless.

Smoothed-out lines and wrinkles, instantly making your face look fresher and younger. Most patients only require one treatment, and the results last between 6- 18 months depending on the area treated and type of filler used- during your consultation, your doctor will be able to advise how long your dermal filler may last.

Dermal fillers are safe as long as they are high-quality filler and administered by a medical professional.

Dermal fillers are made from naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid and over time the filler will slowly dissolve (causing no harm to you). However, you should not have fillers if you are pregnant/breastfeeding or have severe allergies.

No – dermal filler used at Dr Leah Clinics will dissolve itself within 6-18 months, and you will return to normal. The dermal filler we use is also dissolvable using hyalase if required and can be clinically justified.

Most side effects are mild and temporary, e.g., redness, pain, and swelling. A full list of possible side effects will be discussed at your face-to-face consultation.

• Refrain from touching or rubbing the filled area for 12 hours after treatment
• Do not apply makeup or creams to the area injected for 12 hours
• Do not exercise for 12 hours
• Avoid blood-thinning medications for 24 hours
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
• You may need to sleep on your back so as not to squash the dermal filler if you have cheek filler
• You should sleep with 2 or 3 pillows on the night you have dermal filler to reduce swelling
