Dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are the world’s second most popular cosmetic treatment, after Botox. They’re safe and convenient, requiring a simple 60-minute appointment and minimal down time.
Filler gives contour to your face and lips and lifts the sagging and hollowing that can make us appear tired or sad as our faces age. It gives a fresher, more cheerful look.
Hyaluranon fillers also nourish the skin, boosting hydration and assisting the cells to make more collagen.

I’m well-known internationally for my dermal filler skills, and teach other doctors around the world. It is my area of greatest expertise.
Creating new contours for your face with dermal filler is an art, like sculpting and I am known for refusing to make anyone look “done”.
My “less is more” approach restores a simple, effortless beauty that respects the unique character of your face, as shown in some of my patients here.
I use dermal fillers made from hyaluranon which is a clear gel naturally present in your skin. Hyaluranon fillers can be quickly and easily dissolved, making them the safest fillers available.
Dermal fillers have a huge number of uses. They fight ageing, improve your skin hydration and collagen production, treat sagging and reduce lip lines. They can give you more defined cheekbones or a stronger chin. Most lines on the face can be improved using dermal fillers. You can have as much or as little as you like.
Hyaluranon for fillers is made by bacteria in a laboratory. The hyaluranon molecule is identical to your own natural hyaluranon, which decreases with age.
Most people are suitable. I won’t treat you if you’re pregnant or breast-feeding, or if you’ve had permanent fillers.
If you have an autoimmune disease, I’ll be cautious.
If you’re unwell with a cold or flu, I’ll wait until you’re recovered.
Most of the time you’ll see a little redness and swelling and that’s it.
A bruise is always possible, although I prefer you to look flawless afterwards, so I do everything in my power to avoid them.

Injections sting – full stop – but it’s only momentary, and fillers sting less than Botox, because they contain local anaesthetic.
I like to make it very comfortable for you, and I use powerful numbing cream, especially on the lips, and can do local anaesthetic blocks, if necessary.
My patients say I have a particularly gentle touch.
Each syringe costs between $650 and 980 depending on the syringe size and filler type. Longer-lasting, thicker fillers cost more than short lasting, thin fillers.
I have a reputation for being able to do much more with one ml than most injectors. My years of experience injecting have taught me exactly where to place it for maximum effect. I don’t waste a drop of each precious syringe!
I love to use the Juvederm, Belotero and Restylane ranges including Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Voluma, Perlane and Belotero Balance.
Depending on the thickness of the filler and the location it’s injected, you can expect hyaluranon fillers to last anywhere from six months to two years.
