Dermal fillers in Edinburgh

Restore volume and hydrate skin

At Slateford Dental Care, we believe that subtle adjustments can make a powerful difference to your confidence. As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, elastin, and subcutaneous volume, which can lead to hollow contours, thinner lips, or deeper facial folds. We provide premium dermal fillers in Edinburgh designed to restore gentle structure, smooth deeper lines, and enhance your natural contours.

Our experienced medical team, led by Dr Kerry Size GDC: 291427, focuses on safe, balanced enhancements, taking the time to understand your goals so you leave feeling refreshed, hydrated, and rejuvenated.

Restore volume & balance with precision dermal fillers

Unlike treatments that temporarily relax dynamic facial muscles, dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the human body, to replenish lost volume, lift sagging tissues, and draw deep hydration into the skin.

During your comprehensive initial consultation, our experienced clinicians will carry out a full facial analysis. We listen carefully to what you would like to achieve and create a bespoke treatment plan tailored strictly to your natural anatomy.

FAQs

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule found naturally in the body that holds moisture and adds structure. When injected beneath the skin, fillers temporarily restore lost volume, smooth out deeper static lines, and define facial features.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. We apply a topical numbing cream prior to treatment, and the high-grade dermal fillers we use contain an integrated local anaesthetic to keep the procedure as comfortable as possible.

Results are visible immediately and typically last anywhere between 6 to 18 months. Longevity depends on several factors, including the specific area treated, the type of filler used, your individual metabolism, and lifestyle factors.

Yes. When placed by a trained medical professional using sterile techniques, dermal fillers have a strong safety profile. Because we use hyaluronic acid fillers, they are also fully reversible using a harmless dissolving enzyme should you ever need or want the treatment removed.

Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the underlying muscles that cause dynamic expression lines (such as frown lines or crow’s feet). Dermal fillers, on the other hand, add physical volume to plumping areas, smoothing out deeper static folds, and shaping features like the lips or cheeks.

Always choose a clinic led by registered medical professionals (such as doctors, dentists, or nurse prescribers) who have dedicated training in facial aesthetics. A safe clinic will always carry out a face-to-face clinical consultation first, use high-quality approved products, and have protocols in place to manage any potential complications.
