As we age, the skin gradually loses volume underneath its surface — which is what causes wrinkles, folds, and a change in facial contour over time. Dermal fillers work by replacing that lost volume, which can help to lift and smooth the overlying skin and restore a more balanced facial shape. At Face Studio Clinic, we use CE-marked, MHRA-regulated hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which are non-permanent but long-lasting — meaning results fade gradually and don’t carry the risks associated with permanent implants.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance the body already produces naturally, and is also thought to help support the skin’s own collagen production, alongside its role in restoring volume.
What can dermal fillers help with?
Every treatment plan is different, but common concerns our patients bring to consultation include:
Skin quality and hydration — some hyaluronic acid treatments are designed specifically to improve hydration and skin texture rather than add volume.
Is dermal filler right for you?
The right treatment (if any) depends on your facial anatomy and goals, which is why every plan starts with a face-to-face consultation. Our practitioners will assess your skin and structure, talk through the options and realistic outcomes for your specific concern, and explain the risks alongside the benefits.
FAQs
How long do dermal fillers last?
This depends on the area treated, the product used, and your own metabolism. Your practitioner will give you a realistic estimate for your specific treatment plan at consultation.
How soon will I see the results?
You will be able to see the results of your treatment immediately. However, it can take up to 2 weeks for the filler to completely settle.
Are dermal fillers permanent?
No. Hyaluronic acid filler is non-permanent — your body gradually breaks it down over time, which is why most patients have occasional top-up treatments to maintain results.
Which areas can be treated with dermal filler?
Common areas include the cheeks, jawline, chin, nose, lips and under-eye area, as well as general skin hydration treatments. We’ll talk through what’s suitable for you at consultation.
Does it hurt?
A fine needle or cannula is used, and most patients describe mild, brief discomfort. Numbing cream is available for more sensitive areas like the lips.
Is there any downtime?
Mild swelling or bruising is common for the first few days and usually settles within a week or two. You’ll be given full aftercare guidance after treatment.
Who shouldn't have dermal filler?
It isn’t suitable for everyone — for example, it’s not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for people with certain allergies or skin conditions. A full medical history is taken at consultation.

It was my first time visiting the clinic today and I have to say I was extremely happy with the service. I came in for the tear trough treatment and was really happy with the results. The process was explained to me thoroughly so I was very confident that I was in good hands. Through out the treatment the Doctor reassured me and talked me through it all. So I felt calm the whole time. Very happy with the results, I definitely look more alive haha. I also purchased some skincare. So I am very excited to start my clear skin journey!

I would trust no other place! Dr Mariam and Fatemah know their stuff. Advice and treatments I’ve experienced are unmatched. I love their energy and make my appointments before I’ve landed in the country. Face Studio Clinic is my go to.
I had the Perfect Peel done a year ago and it was the best decision I've ever made. Years of sun damage due to living in Dubai peeled off, pores shrunk, pimple scars faded away, all in a matter of weeks. Big thanks to lead skin therapist Fatima for taking me in!
I had a lovely experience at Face Studio Clinic Birmingham for my first ever Hydrafacial.Dr Nabila and Dr Fatima explained thoroughly about my current skin issues which I expressed concerns for.Considering it was my first ever Facial, I had the most amazing experience ever. It was very relaxing and I was told about each and every step with the benefits too.Thank you Both, I look forward to meeting you again in 5 weeks to re-assess my skin with the products suggested/purchased. 🤍
Professional, knowledgeable and honest. Top quality treatments from skilled staff who you can trust.Dr Fatima has tailored her treatments and skincare products to completely transform my previously acne prone skin and it has never looked more healthy and glowing.

Ive lived in Qatar and come home to see family regularly. The gulf has some of the best aesthetics clinics around, and honestly face is the best i have been to! Dr Mariams needle technique is beyond amazing, of-course with over ten years experience as a dentist- i would trust bo one else to do any procedure on my face due to risks and complications but being a doctor of the head and neck i put my trust in her and the results are outstanding. Also i only do facials at face now, these fancy places i have been to in the gulf dont even compare the the tailored hydro facial Ms Fatima gave me- i was glowing for days and received so many compliments!! If there was 7 stars on reviews i would have ticked that!
Todays appointment couldn’t have gone any smoother, I was taken through every step and everything was explained clearly and precisely to me. Staff are absolutely welcoming and calming, which is exactly what I needed.Thank u!Looking forward to my next appointment.
