Cheek fillers offer a non-surgical solution for people who want to enhance their cheekbones, adding volume and definition to the face. In this treatment page, we will explore the benefits, procedure, and aftercare of cheek fillers.

At Dermal Health, patient safety, experience, and natural results are at the core of everything we do. Our medical director, Úna Jefford, is a qualified Independent Prescriber and experienced dermatology nurse with extensive training in minor-op skin procedures. As a CQC-registered clinic, we adhere to strict safety standards and medical governance protocols to ensure each treatment is carried out with professionalism and clinical precision.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a sugar molecule naturally found in the skin. It plays a key role in retaining water and keeping tissues hydrated. The fillers we use are CE-marked and FDA-approved, offering predictable results and excellent safety profiles.
When injected into the cheek area, HA binds to water molecules, adding instant volume while stimulating natural collagen production over time. This makes cheek fillers a dual-benefit treatment: immediate contouring with gradual regenerative effects.
Dermal Health operates under CQC regulations, with clinical oversight and infection prevention protocols in place. We only use premium filler brands sourced from licensed UK pharmacies. Úna Jefford is fully insured and registered with the NMC (Nursing & Midwifery Council) and holds postgraduate dermatology credentials.
All patients undergo a full medical history check and facial assessment before treatment. We never compromise on safety.
Although every consultation is slightly different the time usually consists of you, the patient, discussing your wishes and asking questions. Una will take a look at your medical history and ask some questions while she examines the areas of concern. All treatment options will be fully explained and Una will provide you with a treatment plan. Una will be happy to answer any further questions you may have.
Having dermal fillers has been likened to going for a dentist appointment. You will feel a sharp scratch sensation. Una will use numbing cream to numb the area first if you require. Dermal filler is patiently and methodically injected into the area. The appointment will take approximately 30 minutes. You will be provided with aftercare information to help you get the best out of your dermal filler treatment.
The active ingredient in the fillers we use is hyaluronic acid. This substance occurs naturally in the body. It has a variety of uses within the body including helping with wound healing, smoothing joints, and hydration.
The length of time our fillers last for is approximately 6-9 months, depending on certain factors, including lifestyle. Patients have reported this to be longer in certain cases.
Dermal fillers are regarded as a safe treatment provided they are given by a fully accredited, experienced practitioner using safe infection control procedures and using recognised brands.
However much I would like to see you, we are an appointment only clinic. However, it might be the case that we can see you at short notice.
