They can also be used to increase skin hydration and enhance skin quality.
What are Dermal Fillers?
A dermal filler is a safe injectable gel material that is injected under the skin to restore volume lost with ageing or to add volume to areas where it may be lacking.
The most common fillers are made using hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally already present in the skin. Hyaluronic acid fillers are safe and effective and can easily be dissolved if necessary.

Common treatment areas for dermal fillers
01
Full Face Rejuvenation
This is the ultimate dermal filler treatment, where Dr. Siobhan will assess the areas of volume loss, tissue sagging and shadowing on the face, in line with the profile and balance of your facial proportions before planning a fully bespoke plan to restore age – related changes. The result is a more harmonious, rejuvenated version of yourself, so you can feel and look your absolute best, with undetectable results. This is Dr. Siobhan’s most requested treatment!
03
Jawline Contouring
Dr. Siobhan’s jawline filler treatments can help you achieve a more defined jawline, as well as tighten and improve the appearance of sagging skin along the jawline (jowls). In addition to its anti-ageing and skin-lifting benefits, this popular procedure also helps men and women sculpt, tighten, and lift their jawlines for a more attractive and more defined overall appearance.
05
Tear trough fillers
Our tear trough fillers are a wonderful remedy for tired eyes and dark circles. Skin can become thin and hollow around the eyes as we age, causing the appearance of dark circles and shadows. Using dermal fillers, we can instantly restore volume to the eye area, giving you a fresher, more awake, look.
02
Lip Fillers
Thin, aged, dehydrated or asymmetrical lips can be restored using dermal fillers, resulting in fuller, more hydrated and supple lips. Fine lines (lipstick lines) around the mouth can be treated through the use of this technique as well. One of the most trusted clinicians in Aberdeen, Dr. Siobhan takes great pride in always ensuring the natural looking results for the lips her patient’s desire.

04
Cheeks
Our cheek fillers treatments will help you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance by plumping up the skin and adding volume where it’s been lost. If you’ve lost collagen, bone, or fat in your cheeks, this treatment can help restore their volume and smooth out any wrinkles that have developed without looking “done” or “over-treated”. This will help to lift the skin, and improve the appearance of deep folds and sagging skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Treatment Suitable For Me? Please read the list below carefully, if any of the below apply to you, you will not be suitable for treatment. If none of the below apply to you, you can proceed to booking a consultation where Dr Siobhan will conduct a thorough medical history to check your suitability. Please note, in some cases Dr Siobhan may deem you unsuitable for treatment after consultation for reasons other than the below. Pregnant or breastfeeding Those who have had an adverse reaction to Botox® in the past Those who have an active infection If you have a neurological disorder e.g. Myasthenia Gravis, Eaton Lambert Syndrome or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Will I Bruise? Bruising is one of the potential side effects of treatments such as Dermal Fillers and varies from patient to patient. Often patients suffer from very little bruising after injections. If you’re concerned about bruising, we advise you to avoid taking medications such as Aspirin, Naproxen and Ibuprofen in the week of your treatment as these all increase the chances of bruising. Avoiding alcohol and excessive exercise before or after treatment is also advisable.
Is It Safe To Have Treatment ? Yes, absolutely. We have many protocols in place to ensure that you are completely safe when having treatment.
Does Treatment Hurt And What If I Am Scared Of Needles? Treatment is generally a painless treatment because we use very fine needles and Dr Siobhan is highly trained and skilled. Generally, the treatment is carried out without anaesthetic, although as a dentist, Dr Siobhan can provide topical or local anaesthetic if required. However, should you have any concerns before, or during your treatment, please raise this with Dr Siobhan.
How Long Does Treatment Take To Work and How Long Does Last? You will start to see initial results immediately with Dermal Filler treatment. Everyone is different so longevity of treatment varies from patient to patient and treatment to treatment. Generally treatment using Dermal Fillers can last 6-18 months.
What If I Don’t Like The Results? At The Terrace Aesthetics, we aim to provide you with the results that you want. The treatments we use, such as Botox® and Dermal Filler are not a permanent treatment and will therefore break down and wear off after a few months. We may also be able to dissolve some treatments if it is appropriate to do so.
How Long Does an Appointment Last? The appointment can last anything between 30-45 minutes. The actual injecting only takes up a small amount of this time. The length of the appointment depends on the number of areas that you have treated, as well as the comprehensive consultation of your requirements.
Will People Be Able To Tell I’ve Had Treatment? Dr Siobhan will always ask about your expectations and advise you on how much Dermal Filler you will need to achieve your desired result.
What Are The Potential Risks Of Treatment? Before deciding whether to go ahead with treatment it is important that you are aware of the potential risks and side effects of Dermal Filler treatment. Most side effects are related to the actual injecting of the skin and not the product itself. Side effects can include: Minor redness or swelling Minor bruising Headache Migraine - 2% of people can experience this Infection - this is rare and can occur around the injection site Droop of the eyelid - this occurs in very rare cases and is temporary Dr Siobhan will discuss the risks and benefits prior to your treatment. You will also be provided with aftercare instructions to minimise the risks and promote a speedy recovery.
What is a Review appointment? The Review appointment allows Dr Siobhan to assess your results. The appointment and any necessary tweaks (if applicable) are completely free of charge. After your treatment we'll arrange an appointment. The appointment should take place within 2 weeks of your original treatment appointment.
