Professional Restylane® Filler Services Available in London
Precision Volumisation
Restylane injections can add volume to the cheeks, chin and jawline, helping restore youthful volume and structural definition where age-related changes have reduced facial support.
Wrinkle Reduction
Effectively smooth wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the mouth (nasolabial folds) and eyes, for a refined skin quality.
Deep Hydration
Restylane Skinboosters are injectable skin boosters designed to support the skin’s natural hydration and improve skin quality, helping the treated area look smoother, fresher and more radiant.
Lip Enhancement
Precise filler treatments to plump the lips and define the vermillion border while maintaining a soft, natural feel.
Collagen Stimulation
Clinical evidence suggests that the mechanical stretching of fibroblasts during injection can stimulate natural collagen production for long-term benefits.
Customised Contouring
Tailored treatment plans to enhance facial features such as the chin and cheeks, ensuring facial symmetry and balance.
Minimal Recovery
Advanced injection techniques using a fine needle or cannula to reduce the risk of a bruise and minimize downtime.
Before & After Restylane® Fillers
The patient journey at our London clinic focuses on subtle, sophisticated transformations. Real results typically involve a visible reduction in the depth of facial wrinkles and folds immediately following the procedure. Over the subsequent two weeks, as any minor swelling or redness subsides, the hyaluronic acid integrates with the tissue to provide a smoother, more hydrated appearance. Most patients report a refreshed look that does not appear “overfilled,” aligning with our philosophy of natural rejuvenation and enhanced skin quality.

Why Choose London Aesthetics
When choosing dermal fillers in London, practitioner expertise, facial-anatomy knowledge and patient safety are important considerations. At London Aesthetics, our practitioners include professionals with Harley Street and specialist dental backgrounds, and we use authentic Restylane® products, known for their safety profile and biocompatibility. Our approach prioritises careful planning and natural-looking outcomes rather than dramatic changes.
The Restylane® Treatment Process: Step by Step
Consultation Phase
Your consultation starts with a detailed clinical assessment of your aesthetic goals, medical history and facial contours. We then select the most appropriate Restylane product for your needs and plan the procedure accordingly.
Preparation Protocol
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed. To ensure comfort, we apply a high-strength numbing cream (topical anaesthetic). Most Restylane® products also contain Lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, to further minimize discomfort during the injection.
Injection Technique
Using a fine needle or a micro-cannula, the Restylane® is precisely injected into the skin at specific depths. This allows us to restore volume or smooth wrinkles with artistic precision and minimal tissue trauma.
Contouring and Refinement
Once the filler is placed, our practitioners may gently massage the area to ensure the product is evenly distributed and the facial features are balanced according to the treatment plan.
Completion and Aftercare
The area is cleaned again, and a soothing balm may be applied. We provide a comprehensive aftercare sheet and discuss what to expect during the initial 24–48 hours of recovery.
Benefits of Restylane® Filler
Natural-Looking Enhancement
Restylane® is formulated to mimic the body’s natural hyaluronic acid, ensuring that movements and expressions remain fluid and authentic.
Exceptional Longevity
Results can last up to 12 months or longer depending on the area treated. The range uses NASHA and Optimal Balance Technology, while longevity varies by area and product choice.
Minimal Downtime Requirements
Most patients can return to their daily activities almost immediately. While mild swelling or redness is common, it typically resolves quickly.
Versatile Application
Restylane offers options for concerns ranging from acne scarring and jawline definition to neck hydration, allowing the approach to be tailored to different cosmetic goals.
Proven Safety Profile
With over 50 million treatments performed worldwide, Restylane® is one of the most rigorously tested and documented injectable products on the market.
Treatment Compatibility
Restylane® works harmoniously with other non-surgical options, such as anti-wrinkle injections or Profhilo, to achieve a comprehensive “liquid facelift” effect.

Restylane® is a dermal filler that provides immediate structural support. While the initial “plump” is visible right away, the final smoothness is achieved once the hyaluronic acid has fully integrated and any initial swelling or redness has dissipated.
Aftercare
To ensure the best results and minimize the risk of a bruise, please avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and alcohol for the first 24 to 48 hours following your injection. Do not apply heavy makeup to the treated area for at least 12 hours to prevent infection.
If you experience mild swelling or redness, a cold compress can be applied gently to the area. Avoid touching or massaging the treated area unless specifically instructed by your practitioner. It is also advised to stay hydrated and avoid excessive sun exposure to protect the newly injected into the skin product.
