The best work is invisible
Dermal Fillers
As we age, the face experiences a natural decrease in volume and elasticity. Think of it as a gradual loss of the skin’s internal support structures, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines. This phenomenon is largely due to a decline in collagen and hyaluronic acid, essential components that contribute to skin suppleness and hydration. Dermal fillers comprise mainly of a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin. These fillers are strategically injected to replenish lost volume and improve fine lines and wrinkles, much like restoring the scaffolding that gives your face its structure. Dermal fillers can also be used to sculpt and enhance your current features.
The beauty of this non-invasive procedure lies in its ability to subtly enhance your features whilst preserving your unique identity. At Dr Mélanin, we prioritise your comfort and natural results. Dr Vasudevan conducts a comprehensive consultation to understand your specific needs and formulate a bespoke treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach out to us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Since dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid which is already present in the skin, they have excellent safety profiles because they can be broken down by the body’s own mechanisms. They are minimally invasive and safe, if performed by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional. As with any procedure, there are possible risks which will be discussed with you during your consultation.
We do everything we can to help reduce pain and discomfort during the treatment. We can use a numbing cream before the procedure to help make the procedure more comfortable for you. The dermal fillers we use also contain a small amount of anaesthetic in them which can also help reduce pain. The needles we use are very une and most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
Absolutely not. We are committed to achieving the most natural looking results for our clients.
Like any procedure, there are possible risks which will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation. The side effects are usually mild given that hyaluronic acid is a natural substance. The most common side effects our patient experience are transient swelling. redness and bruising which settle after a few days. There is a very small risk of blood vessel complications; however, the dermal fillers we use are reversible.
