Dermal Fillers in Ashford
Restore. Enhance. Balance. Naturally You.
If you're looking to restore lost volume, enhance your natural features or soften the appearance of facial lines, dermal fillers can provide subtle, natural-looking results without surgery. At Dr Priya Dental & Aesthetics in Ashford, Kent, every dermal filler treatment is carefully tailored to your individual facial anatomy, skin quality and aesthetic goals.
Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the lips, soften deeper facial folds and restore definition to areas that may have lost volume over time. Our approach is focused on achieving balanced, natural results that complement your existing features rather than changing the way you look.
Whether you're considering lip filler for subtle enhancement, nasolabial filler to soften smile lines or marionette line filler to improve the appearance of lines around the mouth, a personalised consultation with Dr Priya can help determine the most appropriate treatment for you.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, enhance facial contours and improve the appearance of certain lines and folds.
Most modern dermal fillers used in aesthetic medicine are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found within the body that helps the skin retain moisture and maintain volume. When carefully placed beneath the skin, dermal filler can restore lost volume, improve facial proportions and create a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
Unlike anti-wrinkle injections, which work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles, dermal fillers primarily work by adding volume and providing structural support to targeted areas.
Treatment is minimally invasive and can usually be completed during a single appointment, following a detailed consultation and assessment.
Lip Filler
Lip filler is a popular treatment for enhancing lip shape, definition and volume while maintaining natural-looking proportions.
Whether you are looking for a subtle enhancement, improved lip symmetry or a little more definition around the lip border, treatment can be tailored to your individual preferences.
Dermal filler can also help address changes in lip volume that occur naturally with age, helping to restore a more youthful and hydrated appearance.
At Dr Priya Aesthetics, the aim is not simply to create larger lips. Careful assessment of your facial proportions and existing lip shape allows treatment to be planned around
your natural features for balanced results.
​
​
Nasolabial Filler
Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from the sides of the nose towards the corners of the mouth. They are a normal part of facial anatomy but can become more pronounced over time as facial volume and skin elasticity change.
Nasolabial filler can help soften the appearance of these folds by restoring volume and support to the areas contributing to their appearance.
Treatment is carefully planned according to your facial structure. In some cases, treating the surrounding areas rather than directly filling the fold can produce a more balanced and natural-looking result.
The goal is to soften, rather than completely erase, facial lines while preserving your natural expressions.
​
​
Marionette Line Filler
Marionette lines are the vertical or diagonal lines that develop from the corners of the mouth towards the chin. They can become more noticeable with age as facial volume changes and the skin gradually loses elasticity.
Marionette line filler can help restore volume and support around the lower face, reducing the appearance of these lines and creating a smoother, more balanced facial contour.
Every treatment is individual. Dr Priya will assess your facial anatomy and determine whether dermal filler is appropriate for the lines themselves or whether addressing surrounding areas may provide a more natural overall result.

What to Expect During Your Dermal Filler Appointment
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr Priya. This is an important part of the process and allows your facial anatomy, skin quality, existing volume and aesthetic goals to be assessed.
You will have the opportunity to discuss what you would like to achieve, and Dr Priya will explain whether dermal filler is an appropriate treatment option for you.
A personalised treatment plan will then be created based on your individual facial proportions and desired outcome.
During treatment, dermal filler is carefully placed into the selected area using a fine needle or appropriate delivery technique. Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated, but most appointments can be completed relatively quickly.
Some patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising following treatment. These effects generally settle as the treated area recovers.
You will receive personalised aftercare advice to help support your recovery and achieve the best possible outcome.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
How long do dermal fillers last?
The longevity of dermal filler varies depending on the treatment area, product used, amount of filler injected and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.
Lip filler may typically require maintenance sooner than filler placed in some other facial areas. During your consultation, Dr Priya will discuss the expected longevity of your specific treatment.
​
​
Are dermal fillers painful?
Most patients tolerate dermal filler treatment well. Many modern dermal fillers contain a local anaesthetic to improve comfort during treatment, and additional topical numbing may be considered depending on the treatment area.
You may experience some pressure, sensitivity or mild discomfort during the procedure.
​
​
How much filler will I need?
There is no standard amount of dermal filler that is right for everyone.
The amount required depends on your facial anatomy, the area being treated and the result you want to achieve. At Dr Priya Aesthetics, treatment is approached conservatively, with the focus on achieving balanced and natural-looking results rather than using a predetermined amount of filler.
​
​
Will I look overfilled after dermal filler?
The aim of treatment is to achieve a natural result that complements your facial features.
The appearance of swelling immediately after treatment can make the treated area look fuller than the final result. As any swelling settles, the filler integrates into the surrounding tissue and the appearance becomes more natural.
​
​
How long does swelling last after dermal filler?
Swelling is a common temporary response following dermal filler treatment, particularly in areas such as the lips.
The amount and duration of swelling varies between individuals and treatment areas. Dr Priya will provide detailed aftercare advice and explain what to expect following your specific treatment.
​
​
When will I see the results of dermal filler?
You will generally notice an immediate change in volume following treatment, although the final appearance can take time to settle as any swelling reduces.
Your results will continue to develop as the treated area settles. You will be given guidance on when your follow-up or review appointment is appropriate.
​
​
Can dermal fillers be dissolved?
Some hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase when clinically appropriate.
Whether this is suitable depends on the type of filler used, the treatment area and the circumstances. This is one reason why choosing a qualified and experienced medical professional for dermal filler treatment is important.
​
​
Are dermal fillers suitable for everyone?
Dermal filler is not suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions, allergies, medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding and other individual circumstances may affect whether treatment is appropriate.
A full medical and aesthetic consultation is carried out before treatment to assess your suitability and discuss any potential risks or alternatives.
​
​
Can I combine dermal fillers with other aesthetic treatments?
Dermal fillers can sometimes form part of a wider facial rejuvenation treatment plan. Depending on your individual needs, they may be combined with other treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections.
However, treatments should always be planned according to your facial anatomy, goals and medical suitability rather than simply combining procedures.
Dr Priya can discuss the most appropriate approach during your consultation.
sment will determine whether treatment is suitable for you.
