Dermal Fillers
Fillers can also be used to increase the volume and definition of the lips and cheeks.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are a soft injectable gel which is made up of hyaluronic acid. This works with your skin’s natural supply of hyaluronic acid to add volume to loose or sagging skin as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The overall effect is a fresher, firmer and more youthful look.
The main areas that dermal fillers are used for are:
- the outer corner of the eyes (crow’s feet)
- frown lines
- forehead lines
- eye lines
- mouth lines
- smile lines on the cheeks
- chin indentations
Fillers can also be used to increase the volume and definition of the lips and cheeks.
Dermal fillers have become popular in recent years as patients enjoy the anti-ageing effects without the need for surgery. At the Twyford Dental in Twyford, we have treated hundreds of patients for fillers from Twyford, Wargrave, Sandford, Reading, throughout Berkshire and beyond.

The Process of Dermal Fillers in Reading
First, we will meet with you face to face and talk about what you want to achieve, the areas you would like to treat and any concerns that you have.
When you are ready, the filler is injected with a fine needle. Most dermal fillers now contain a local anaesthetic which makes any pain minimal. Treatment usually takes about 30 minutes.
For lip treatments you will be given an anaesthetic which is similar to those used in a dental injection. The results for a lip filler are seen immediately and treatment usually takes about 30 minutes.
