In today’s era of undetectable injectables, we strategically use dermal fillers to refine and rejuvenate, ensuring results that look effortlessly natural.“ – Dr. Harriett
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are typically made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that retains moisture and volume in the skin. When injected into targeted areas, fillers restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for a natural, refreshed look. Some dermal fillers, like those containing Polycaprolactone (PCL), act as collagen stimulators, improving skin quality and delivering long-lasting results.

Not all Dermal Fillers are Equal
Not all dermal fillers are the same, and if you’re considering treatment, you want a product that looks natural, lasts longer, and is as safe as possible. At The Calla Clinic our chosen dermal filler brands are Maili & Ellanse- these have been carefully selected to achieve the best results for our patients and optimise safety. The ideal dermal filler for your concerns will be discussed during your consultation to ensure the best option for your needs.
Maili
Maili is a premium hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler, created with advanced OxiFree™ technology. This innovative process enhances the stability and durability of the HA, providing superior, longer-lasting results. Unlike many traditional fillers, Maili is free from BDDE, a chemical often used in other products that can cause irritation. The result? Improved safety and naturally refined enhancements with minimal risk, giving you beautifully balanced, long-lasting results.
Ellanse
Ellansé Dermal Filler is a unique, biostimulatory dermal filler designed to not only restore volume but also stimulate the body’s natural collagen production over time. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Ellansé contains Polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres, which encourage the skin to regenerate its own collagen, providing long-lasting, natural results that improve with time. At The Calla Clinic, we have extensive experience using Ellansé and may recommend it if your skin shows signs of collagen loss that would benefit from repair.

FAQs
Is dermal filler treatment painful?
We apply a numbing cream before your treatment to ensure minimal discomfort. Additionally, the dermal filler contains a local anaesthetic, so once injected, the treatment is virtually painless. Our goal is to make your experience as comfortable as possible, both during and after the procedure.
Can dermal fillers be reversed?
Yes, hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers can be reversed. If you’re dissatisfied with the results or experience any complications, the filler can be safely dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down the filler quickly. We prioritize making sure you’re well-informed and comfortable with your treatment, and we’re always here to address any concerns.
For dermal fillers like Ellansé, which don’t use hyaluronic acid, the results can’t be reversed in the same way. However, we’ll fully discuss this with you during your consultation to ensure you have a clear understanding of the treatment.
Are dermal fillers safe?
Yes, dermal fillers are considered very safe when performed by a skilled and experienced medical practitioner. The most common ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid (HA), are biocompatible and naturally found in the body, which helps minimize the risk of adverse reactions. While temporary side effects like swelling or bruising can occur, they typically subside quickly.
Choosing a qualified professional is key to ensuring both your safety and the best results. At The Calla Clinic, we prioritize your safety by using only trusted, certified dermal fillers and taking the time to discuss your specific goals during your consultation. We also offer thorough aftercare, so if any complications arise, our experienced nurse and doctor team can quickly identify and address them—your face is in safe hands!
How long do dermal fillers last?
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used, the area(s)treated, lifestyle factors, health and genetics. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6-12 months, but in some cases may last longer. Ellansé S (a PCL dermal filler) lasts 12 months and Ellansé M 24 months. We usually recommend an annual review to ensure your results are maintained.
Am I a good candidate for dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are a great option for individuals looking to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours without surgery. Ideal candidates are generally in good health, have realistic expectations, and are looking for a non-invasive treatment to improve their appearance.
During your consultation at The Calla Clinic, we will assess your facial anatomy, skin health, and specific concerns to determine if dermal fillers are the right choice for you. Our goal is to help you achieve natural, balanced results that enhance your unique features and boost your confidence.
Are dermal fillers permanent?
No, our dermal fillers are not permanent. The results typically last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors like skin type and lifestyle. Over time, the hyaluronic acid gradually breaks down into carbon dioxide and water and is removed by the body. To maintain your results, you can schedule follow-up treatments as needed.
