Dermal Fillers

Gaining the look you desire is as easy as it is quick. And the results are instantaneous. No pre-testing is needed and a session often takes less than 30 minutes. If it is your first treatment, we would advise an initial consultation with Dr O’Gorman so as you make a fully informed decision and a decision can be made as to what treatment will best suit you.

For lip treatments, you will receive either a local anaesthetic block or a specially formulated local anaesthetic ointment which effectively blocks any pain. For the fold between the nose and mouth (nasolabial fold) and the marionette lines (downward line from the angle of the mouth), a specially formulated anaesthetic cream is applied. For facial contouring, we generally either apply an anaesthetic cream or perform a local anaesthetic nerve block to numb the area. All of our patients are pleasantly surprised with the ease of the treatment and the effective pain management.

During the treatment, the clear gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very thin needle. The gel is integrated within adjacent tissues and gives natural volume, supports the overlying skin and smoothes the wrinkles.

After the treatment, some common injection-related reactions may occur such as swelling, redness, pain, itching or tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve spontaneously within 1 – 2 days after the treatment.

Most of our patients report minimal symptoms or signs after 48 hours, and paracetamol is sufficient for any post-treatment discomfort. Most people having a lip treatment have it arranged for before a day off work but others are happy to go straight back to work. Rarely, in approx 1 in 2000, more significant swelling, redness, or tenderness can occur and last up to 2 weeks – this can be managed effectively by us.

This has not been tested for and it is therefore our policy not to perform treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Yes, but it is recommended to wait until the treated area is totally healed and the skin has normalised (normally 4 – 6 weeks ).

Under-eye fillers use hyaluronic acid to reduce dark circles, hollowness, and tired-looking eyes. The treatment is safe when done by Dr Michael O'Gorman and results are typically visible immediately, with full effects in a few days. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but usually resolves quickly. Results last 6 to 12 months. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort. In London, prices generally range from £600 per session.

Dermal fillers usually take 1 to 2 weeks to fully settle. Initial results can be seen immediately, but mild swelling or bruising may affect the final look during the first few days. As the filler integrates with your skin, the treated area becomes smoother and more natural.

Sensitive areas like the under-eyes or lips may take closer to two weeks. Avoid strenuous activity and massage during this time for best results.
