Faces don’t age evenly. The mid-face deflates while the jawline blurs; temples hollow while folds deepen around the mouth. And some features were never about age at all — a chin that recedes, a nose with a bump, lips that photograph thinner than they feel. Dermal fillers address both: restoring what time has moved, and building what nature skipped.
The fillers we use are hyaluronic acid (HA) gels — a substance your skin already produces to hold moisture and structure. Different formulations behave differently: firm, dense gels rebuild cheekbones and jawlines; soft, flexible gels suit lips and fine lines. Choosing the right gel for the right layer of tissue is what separates sculpted from swollen. Results are immediate, refine over two weeks, and last 9 to 18 months depending on product and placement.
The most common filler mistake is chasing a single line while ignoring what caused it. Nasolabial folds usually deepen because the cheek above them has deflated — treat the fold alone and the face looks odd; restore the cheek and the fold softens naturally. That’s why every treatment at Dermax Medical Center starts with a full-face assessment: we map volume loss and proportion first, then decide where millilitres actually belong. Often the answer is less product, better placed.
Treatments take 20 to 40 minutes. Numbing cream plus lidocaine inside the gel keeps discomfort low. Expect possible mild swelling or a small bruise for a few days — nothing most people can’t cover. You’ll see the change immediately, and we review you at two weeks to fine-tune if needed.
Filler is anatomy work — arteries, nerves, and fat compartments sit millimetres from every injection point. At Dermax Medical Center, fillers are placed only by licensed clinicians trained in facial anatomy, using authentic FDA- and CE-approved hyaluronic acid products, with emergency protocols (including dissolving enzyme) always on hand. We photograph, document, and review every treatment — and we’re equally comfortable saying “you don’t need more” as “here’s what would help.”
Whether you want subtle refreshment or defined contours — or you’d like previous filler assessed or corrected — book a consultation at Dermax Medical Center in Dubai. You’ll get a full-face plan and honest millilitre maths before anything is injected.
Nine to eighteen months for most areas. Structural areas like cheeks and chin hold longest; lips metabolise filler fastest because they move constantly. Rather than letting results vanish and starting over, most patients maintain with smaller top-ups once a year.
Yes — hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved within hours using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down the gel. It's the safety net that makes HA fillers the sensible choice, and it also means poorly placed filler from elsewhere can be corrected rather than endured.
Not with disciplined dosing. The pillow-face look comes from repeatedly adding volume without reassessing the whole face. We map proportions first, use conservative amounts in the right plane, and stage treatments — you can always add at review; the goal is a face that looks rested, not worked on.
Small amounts of firm filler placed along the nose to camouflage a bump, lift the tip, or improve symmetry — fifteen minutes, no downtime, results for around a year. It can't make a nose smaller, but for the right candidate it delivers a remarkable change without surgery.
Essentially none. Mild swelling for a day or two and occasionally a small bruise are the usual extent of it. Skip intense exercise, alcohol, and saunas for 24-48 hours. Most patients treat at lunch and return to work after.
It depends entirely on your starting point and goal — meaningful cheek restoration may take 2-4 ml across sessions, lips often need just 0.5-1 ml. Beware per-ml package pricing that incentivises more product; we quote a plan for your face, not a volume target.
