Volume loss, deeper lines and changes in facial structure are a natural part of ageing — but they don’t have to define how you look or feel. At Epitomi Aesthetics in Epsom Downs, dermal filler treatments are provided exclusively by Dr Effie Flourentzou, a GMC-registered doctor with extensive experience in facial aesthetics. Every treatment is tailored to your anatomy, your goals, and your face – designed to restore and enhance, never to overdo.
Dermal Fillers in Epsom – Expert, Doctor-Led Treatment
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made from hyaluronic acid (HA) — a substance naturally produced by the body that helps maintain skin hydration, structure and volume. As we age, our natural hyaluronic acid levels decline, which contributes to volume loss, the deepening of lines and changes in facial contour.
When injected by a trained medical professional, dermal fillers can restore lost volume, improve facial proportions and soften lines in a way that looks entirely natural. The results are immediate, and because hyaluronic acid is biocompatible, the treatment is considered safe when performed by an appropriately qualified practitioner.
At Epitomi Aesthetics, only premium HA-based filler products are used, selected by Dr Effie based on the area being treated and the outcome required.

Lip Fillers
-
Volume loss in the lips is one of the earliest and most noticeable signs of ageing — but lip filler is also one of the most frequently overdone treatments. At Epitomi Aesthetics, the focus is on restoring natural shape and proportion. Dr Effie uses precise, conservative injection technique to add hydration and volume to the lips while maintaining balance with the rest of your face. The result should look like you, refreshed — not treated.
-
Suitable for: thin lips, volume loss with age, asymmetry, definition loss Duration: 6–9 months
Cheek Fillers
-
The cheeks are a central structural element of the face. Volume loss in this area causes the skin to sag, deepens the nasolabial folds and contributes to jowling. Cheek filler treatment restores this lost scaffolding — lifting and contouring the midface in a way that addresses multiple concerns at once. Dr Effie uses a precise, layered technique to rebuild volume naturally and symmetrically.
-
Suitable for: midface volume loss, flat or sunken cheeks, early jowling, deep nasolabial folds Duration: 9–12 months
Non-surgical Rhinoplasty
- Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses dermal filler to alter the appearance of the nose without surgery. Bumps can be smoothed, the tip can be refined, and asymmetry can be corrected – all with injectable treatment and no downtime. This procedure requires precise anatomical knowledge and a conservative approach. Results are immediate and reversible.
- Suitable for: dorsal bumps, nasal asymmetry, tip refinement, nose-to-lip angle improvement Duration: 9–12 months
Chin Filler
-
The chin plays a key role in overall facial balance. A recessed or uneven chin can affect the proportions of the entire face and the appearance of the profile. Chin filler treatment uses small, precise amounts of product to improve chin projection, symmetry and definition — often producing a significant improvement in facial proportion without surgery.
-
Suitable for: weak or recessed chin, chin asymmetry, profile improvement, facial balance Duration: 12–15 months
Jawline Filler
-
A defined jawline is one of the clearest markers of a youthful facial structure. As collagen and volume decline with age, the lower face can lose its sharpness, contributing to jowls and a less defined profile. Jawline filler sculpts and strengthens the lower face using precise placement along the mandible, improving definition and restoring balance to the facial structure.
-
Suitable for: loss of jawline definition, early jowling, weak or recessed lower face, profile improvement Duration: 12–15 months
Nasolabial Fold Filler
-
The nasolabial folds, the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth – deepen as volume is lost from the midface. In most cases, the most effective treatment is to restore volume in the cheeks, which lifts the surrounding tissue and softens the fold naturally. In some cases, filler placed directly into the fold is appropriate. Dr Effie will assess which approach is correct for your anatomy during your consultation.
-
Suitable for: deep smile lines, midface volume loss, ageing lower face Duration: 9–12 months
Tear Trough Filler
-
The tear trough is the hollow that runs beneath the eye, between the lower eyelid and the cheek. As this area loses volume with age, it creates a shadowed, sunken appearance that makes patients look persistently tired — regardless of how much sleep they’re getting. Tear trough filler is one of the most technically demanding injectable treatments and must only be performed by a practitioner with advanced anatomy training. At Epitomi Aesthetics, this treatment is assessed and performed by Dr Effie on a case-by-case basis.
-
Suitable for: under-eye hollowing, dark circles caused by volume loss, persistent tired appearance Duration: 6–9 months
Why Choose Epitomi Aesthetics for Dermal Fillers?
Dermal filler treatment is a medical procedure. The outcome — and your safety — depends entirely on the skill, training and judgement of the person performing it. Epitomi Aesthetics is a doctor-led specialist clinic, not a beauty salon or high-street aesthetics chain. That distinction matters.
What sets Epitomi apart:
- All treatments performed by a GMC-registered doctor
- Full facial assessment before any treatment is agreed
- Conservative, anatomy-led approach — natural results are the priority
- Award-winning clinic based in Epsom Downs, Surrey
- Serving patients across Epsom, Banstead, Ewell, Ashtead, Leatherhead and Sutton
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Every dermal filler treatment at Epitomi Aesthetics begins with a thorough consultation. Dr Effie will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns and goals, and recommend a treatment plan — or advise if filler is not the right approach for you. There is no pressure to proceed.
Your appointment, step by step:
- Consultation — Dr Effie assesses your face and discusses your goals, expectations and budget
- Preparation — Topical anaesthetic is applied approximately 30 minutes before treatment
- Treatment — Filler is administered through a series of precise injections; the process typically takes 45–60 minutes depending on areas treated
- Aftercare — You can return to normal activities immediately; full results are visible at 2–4 weeks once swelling has settled
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure. All filler products used at Epitomi Aesthetics contain lidocaine, which significantly reduces sensitivity during treatment.

Frequently asked questions
What are dermal fillers and how do they work?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made primarily from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin. When injected, they restore volume, smooth lines and improve facial contour. Hyaluronic acid attracts and binds water molecules, which helps maintain the structure and hydration of the treated area. Results are immediate, with full effect visible at 2–4 weeks once any initial swelling has resolved.
What areas can dermal fillers treat?
At Epitomi Aesthetics, dermal fillers are used to treat the lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, nasolabial folds, tear troughs and nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty). Dr Effie will assess your anatomy at consultation and recommend which treatment areas are appropriate for your goals and facial structure.
When can I see the results?
Results from dermal filler treatment are visible immediately. However, some initial swelling is normal, and the final, settled result is typically fully visible at 2–4 weeks. In some cases — particularly with lip filler. A follow-up appointment may be recommended at 4 weeks to assess whether a small top-up would optimise the result.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Duration depends on the area treated, the product used, individual metabolism and aftercare compliance. As a general guide: lip and tear trough filler lasts 6–9 months; cheek, nasolabial and rhinoplasty filler lasts 9–12 months; jawline and chin filler lasts 12–15 months. Dr Effie will provide a personalised estimate at consultation.
Are dermal fillers safe?
Dermal fillers are a clinically established treatment with a well-documented safety profile when administered by a qualified medical professional. At Epitomi Aesthetics, all treatments are performed by Dr Effie Flourentzou, a GMC-registered doctor with specialist training in facial anatomy and injectable aesthetics. The risk of complications is significantly lower when treatment is carried out by a medically qualified practitioner rather than a non-medical provider.
Will dermal fillers look natural?
When performed correctly by an experienced medical professional, dermal fillers should be entirely undetectable. Dr Effie’s approach prioritises balance, proportion and anatomical precision — the goal is always to look refreshed, not treated. Epitomi Aesthetics does not apply a one-size-fits-all technique; every treatment plan is built around your individual face.
Do dermal fillers hurt?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. A topical anaesthetic is applied to the skin before treatment, and all filler products used at Epitomi Aesthetics contain lidocaine, which further reduces sensitivity. Most patients find the procedure very manageable.
Can dermal filler be reversed?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase (hyalase). This is one of the reasons HA-based fillers are the standard of care for most aesthetic filler treatments, the ability to reverse the result adds a meaningful safety margin.
