Dermal filler is a hyaluronic acid (HA) gel, a sugar molecule that occurs naturally in your skin, joints and connective tissue, placed in a specific layer of tissue where it physically takes up space. It does not stimulate the body to do anything; it simply sits there, holding up the surrounding tissue, until the body slowly metabolises it. The filler used at Visage is Juvederm, Allergan's hyaluronic acid range, with the specific product (Volbella, Volift, Voluma or Volux) chosen by viscosity, longevity and licensed indication for the area being treated. Each contains lidocaine for comfort. Treatment lasts 9 to 18 months depending on product and area; lips dissolve faster than cheeks. Critically, HA filler is fully reversible. If you don't like the result, or if a complication occurs, the filler can be dissolved within 24-48 hours using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. We do not work with permanent or semi-permanent fillers at Visage, the reversibility is one of the main reasons HA is the safest cosmetic injectable available. I am a conservative practitioner: 0.5ml or 1ml at a time, never more in one sitting, build slowly. Many of the clients who come to Visage from Chelmsford, Colchester and Halstead have arrived after over-treatment elsewhere; the fix is rarely more product, it's patience and reversal. The clinic was named Best Non-Surgical Aesthetics Clinic 2026, Essex (Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards) for exactly this kind of conservative, medically-led work. Treatment areas include lips (the most popular use), cheeks, tear troughs, jawline and chin, non-surgical rhinoplasty, marionette lines and the nasolabial folds. Each area is dosed and placed individually, no one-size-fits-all approach. Most clients begin with their primary concern only, settle for two weeks, and decide whether to add more at review.
Which products a clinic buys is one of the clearest differences between one clinic and another, so I would rather you knew exactly what goes into your skin.
Allergan’s hyaluronic acid filler range, including Volbella, Volift, Voluma and Volux, each made for a different area and depth. The gels use Vycross cross-linking, which gives a smooth product that integrates evenly and holds its shape for 12 to 18 months depending on the area. Every Juvederm filler contains lidocaine for comfort, and all of them can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if ever needed.
A hybrid injectable that combines hyaluronic acid with calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in one syringe. The hyaluronic acid gives an immediate lift and contour, while the calcium hydroxylapatite prompts your own collagen over the following months, so the result keeps improving after the initial swelling has settled. Contains lidocaine.

A free 30-minute consultation: we discuss the area, take a full medical history, examine your facial structure at rest and in expression, photograph with consent, and agree the dose and product. Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning supplements (fish oil, ibuprofen) for 24 hours before to reduce bruising.
Numbing cream is applied if needed (the products contain lidocaine already). The injection itself takes 15-30 minutes depending on the area. Fine cannulas or needles are used, we choose the safer technique for each area. Most clients describe it as more comfortable than expected.
Some swelling for 24-48 hours is normal; bruising is possible but not guaranteed. You can return to work the same day for most areas (lips can look briefly fuller). Avoid the gym, sauna, hot yoga, alcohol and dental work for 24 hours. Two-week review included.
Lip filler from £110 (0.5ml) or £200 (1ml). Cheek filler £200 per ml. Jawline £250 per ml. The fee covers your treatment, all product and a complimentary two-week review. There is no consultation fee. See /pricing for the full transparent table.
Every treatment begins with a no-obligation consultation. We talk through your goals, your medical history and what's realistic, before any decision is made.

“My approach to filler is conservative by default. I would rather start with 0.5ml and add at review than rush to a heavier result. Filler is reversible, but reversal still takes a session and a fee, going slowly first time round saves you both. Subtle, balanced, and reversible. That is the entire job.”
