Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers restore volume, contour facial features and soften lines — tailored to your anatomy and goals at consultation.

Your Trusted Partner in Aesthetics

Profile Aesthetic is a medically-led clinic in Aberdeen serving the Northeast of Scotland. Our Specialist Aesthetic Nurses deliver dermal filler treatments within a consultation-first framework — assessing facial anatomy, discussing realistic outcomes and using premium products placed with precision and restraint.

Why Choose Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are chosen when the concern is lost volume, deepening folds or a desire for subtle facial contouring without surgery. As we age, the face naturally loses fat, bone density and collagen — resulting in hollowing, sagging and lines that weren't there before. Hyaluronic acid fillers work by replacing that lost volume or adding definition where it's needed, with results that should look like you — just refreshed.

At Profile Aesthetic we use premium hyaluronic acid products and take a conservative, anatomy-led approach. The goal is always natural-looking enhancement, not an overdone result.

Procedure Details

Your clinician assesses your facial anatomy, skin quality and proportions before recommending a treatment plan. Filler is placed using a fine needle or cannula depending on the area and depth required. Placement is precise — small amounts are layered and moulded to achieve the desired effect while maintaining natural movement and expression. The product, volume and technique are all tailored to you.

Before the Procedure

  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours if possible
  • Stop aspirin, ibuprofen and fish oil supplements for a few days if advised
  • Tell us about: allergies, cold sore history, pregnancy/breastfeeding, autoimmune conditions, blood-thinning medications
  • Arrive with clean skin if possible

During the Procedure

  • Typically 20–30 minutes depending on areas treated
  • Topical numbing cream or local anaesthetic may be used
  • Mild pressure and occasional pinching — generally well tolerated
  • Your clinician checks symmetry and balance throughout

After the Procedure

  • Mild swelling and bruising are common, especially around the lips and under-eyes
  • Avoid heat, alcohol and strenuous exercise for 24 hours
  • Do not massage or press on the treated area unless advised
  • Results are visible immediately but settle over 1–2 weeks as swelling resolves
