About the treatment

What is facial rejuvenation?

As we age, the face loses volume and support in several places at once, not just one. Facial rejuvenation is a full-face treatment plan that uses 3 to 5ml of hyaluronic acid filler across a number of areas, such as the cheeks, chin, and the lines around the nose and mouth, depending on your assessment.

Treating the face as a whole often looks more natural than treating one area in isolation. The plan is built around your proportions after a GP-led consultation, and you can choose to build gradually over more than one appointment.

Who it may suit

  • Loss of volume and support in more than one area of the face
  • Looking tired or heavier in the lower face, rather than one feature bothering you
  • Wanting a refreshed, balanced result rather than a change to a single feature
  • Adults aged 18 and over in good general health, with realistic expectations

When it may not be suitable

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Active infection or inflammation of the skin in the areas to be treated
  • A previous reaction to hyaluronic acid filler or local anaesthetic
  • Wanting a change that only surgery can achieve, which will be discussed honestly

Your full medical history is reviewed at consultation, so this list is a guide only.

Step by step

What to expect

  1. Consultation: your goals, medical history and whole face are assessed, at rest and in movement, and risks and alternatives are explained.
  2. Planning: you agree which areas to treat, in what order and how much product to use, and give written consent.
  3. Treatment: filler is placed with a fine needle or cannula in each planned area. Most products contain a local anaesthetic for comfort.
  4. Review: aftercare advice is given, and the result is reviewed once swelling has settled, when any fine-tuning can be discussed.

Downtime and recovery

Because several areas are treated, swelling, tenderness and bruising can be more noticeable than with a single area. Most settles within one to two weeks, so it is best not to book just before an important event.

How long results last

How long results last depends on the areas treated: filler in areas that move less, such as the cheeks and chin, often lasts longer than around the mouth. Around 9 to 18 months is typical, and results vary from person to person.

Aftercare

  • Keep the area clean and avoid touching, pressing or massaging it unless you have been advised to
  • Avoid make-up on the treated area for 24 hours
  • Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours
  • Avoid saunas, steam rooms, sunbeds and other facial treatments for around two weeks
  • Sleep on your back with your head slightly raised for the first night or two, if you can
  • Avoid sleeping face down for the first few nights
  • Contact the clinic promptly if you notice increasing pain, a change in skin colour, or anything that worries you

If your vision changes after a facial injectable treatment, call 999 or go to A&E straight away and tell them what treatment you have recently had. Do not wait for a reply from the clinic. If you have severe or increasing pain, or the skin turns pale, dusky or blotchy, contact the clinic immediately, or get urgent medical help if you cannot reach us.

Facial Rejuvenation FAQs

Questions before you book

How is this different from treating one area?

Single-area treatment focuses on one feature, such as the lips or chin. Facial rejuvenation looks at how the areas work together, and spreads a larger amount of filler across them in one plan, which often looks more natural.

How do I know whether I need 3, 4 or 5ml?

It depends on how many areas need support and how much. An amount will be recommended at consultation, and starting with less and building gradually is always an option.

Will I look overdone?

The aim is to look rested and refreshed, like yourself. Product is placed conservatively across several areas rather than heavily in one, and it is always easier to add a little more later than to take it away.

What are the risks?

Swelling, bruising and tenderness are common. Other possible complications include infection, lumps that persist, asymmetry and delayed inflammation. Rarely, filler can block a blood vessel and damage the skin or other tissue, and very rarely this can cause permanent loss of vision. Careful technique lowers these risks but cannot remove them. Your practitioner will explain the risks that apply to your treatment.

Can it be dissolved?

Hyaluronic acid filler can sometimes be dissolved after a clinical assessment. Dissolving is a medical treatment in its own right, with its own risks, and it cannot guarantee a return to how you looked before.
