Dermal Filler

Regain your VIVA Voom

Dermal Fillers are one the most popular and versatile products used to treat a variety of concerns.

Largely used as an anti ageing injectable treatment, they help to restore lost volume to the face and hands as well as accelerating the production of collagen in the skin where collagen and elastin production has begun to deplete due to the normal process of ageing.

Dermal fillers are commonly used to treat: lines & wrinkles, marionette lines, thin lips, lip lines, nasolabial folds, jowls and sagging skin. Dermal fillers can also be used to restructure facial features such as the nose and jawline.

At VIVA Skin Clinics, Dr Rupert is proud to use Juvederm Fillers, one of the safest and most renowned brands.

Common questions

Does it hurt?

Dermal Fillers are applied through a series of small injections. Much like a gentle pin prick, most people find them perfectly comfortable. Some areas of the face are more sensitive than others (like the lips which contain many nerve endings), and therefore we would recommend the use of a topical numbing cream to soothe the area and mitigate any discomfort.
Are there any side effects?

As with any injectable treatment, there is a possibility of some minor side effects. Most commonly, these may include: bruising, swelling, redness, tenderness, itching and sensitivity at the point of application. Any potential side effects will be discussed during a pre-treatment consultation with Dr. Rupert. When treating the lips, you may expect a little more swelling that will typically subside within 48 hours of treatment. Although rare, should you feel any lumping under the skin post treatment you should contact the clinic and Dr. Rupert will assess you to ensure everything is as expected. Dr. Rupert is one of the most experienced injectors in the UK, and you will always be in the safest of hands under his care.
What result can I expect?

Depending on the area being treated, the expected result will differ. Usually, dermal fillers are used to lessen the effects of ageing, therefore, you can expect to look fresh and rejuvenated with a beautiful plumpness to the skin that is typical of a youthful complexion. During your consultation, Dr. Rupert will discuss your concerns and recommend the right treatment plan to deliver your desired result so you can leave looking great and feeling amazing.

Dr. Rupert is a highly skilled injector as well as having advanced facial anatomical knowledge and a creative eye. Safety is of primary concern at VIVA Skin Clinics, and we work to ensure that you are safe and comfortable throughout your treatment and beyond..

Client reviews

Everything about my experience was wonderful. I suffer from anxiety, so I was extremely anxious beforehand, but Dr Critchley immediately put me at ease with his calming, friendly, and fun demeanour. I noticed a few reviewers saying that they had to wait a while to be seen, but this wasn't the case with me. I had a 3-5 minute wait at most. The procedure itself is very brief and I have absolutely no bruising. Before having treatment it's important to have a realistic expectation of what can be achieved. Dr Critchley was honest with me and said that my under eye circles really weren't that bad, but that we all have some sort of creasing under our eyes, meaning that no amount of filler can completely obliterate ALL traces of under eye circles. However, the fillers have done wonders for my self-esteem, as the improvement to the appearance of my eyes is substantial. Now I can happily go outside without 5 layers of concealer! I definitely wouldn't go anywhere else for my fillers. Thank you Dr Critchley!

Within 5 minutes of meeting Dr. Rupert, I knew he had the answers to what I’ve been searching for! This was my first time ever getting any cosmetic work done, so I was a little nervous, but Dr. Rupert was very reassuring. He was informative in every step throughout the process, from educating me beforehand to what exactly was happening during each injection.I really appreciate his attention to detail to ensure the most natural enhancements. Overall, I had the absolute best experience and am beyond thrilled with my results!

I am not sure about the treatment itself although Dr. Rupert as a person is nice and professional. Had to top up the Botox as did not work and still not good work after the second top up, plus I am having new wrinkles now after the dermal fillers around the mouth. Left side of the face looks different to the right side after dermal fillers. Overall, not impressed. I subsequently heard dermal fillers don't really work to get rid of marionette lines( this is my primary concern) and I can see why now. I also wish all face treatment salons/clinics start using proper day light angle rather than showing me my "before and after" photos taken in a place with no natural light.

Love love love Dr Rupert and what he does, I recommend him to all my friends. People have commented how surprised they are I’ve had Botox/fillers as it looks so natural. He makes you feel so comfortable and at ease and I trust him 100% with my face. I won’t go to anyone else.

I had been considering tear trough fillers for a while because I was very unhappy with the darkness of my under eyes. After doing some research I found the VIVA Skin Clinic and decided to book a consultation. As a newbie to cosmetic enhancements world, I was scared of what to expect and how it would all go but once I met Dr. Rupert Critchley I really felt put at ease and comfortable so I decided to go ahead not only with the tear through filler procedure but also with botox for my gummy smile. Neither of the treatments were painful, just a little unconfortable. All I can say is that Dr. Critchley is amazing and the results for both procedures made me very happy, my confidence has been boosted, I haven't felt this good about myself in a long time. Highly recommended :-)
