What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Most modern fillers contain hyaluronic acid (HA) — a substance naturally found in your skin. When injected, they plump the area and stimulate collagen production.
Common Treatment Areas
- Lips — Adding volume, defining the border, correcting asymmetry
- Cheeks — Restoring youthful contour, lifting mid-face
- Nasolabial folds — The lines from nose to mouth
- Marionette lines — Lines from mouth to chin
- Jawline — Definition and contouring
- Chin — Projection and balance
- Under eyes — Hollow tear troughs
- Temples — Restoring lost volume

Safety: Why Doctor-Led Matters
Fillers are medical procedures. In the wrong hands, complications include:
- Vascular occlusion (blocked blood vessels)
- Infection
- Asymmetry
- Lumps and nodules
- Skin necrosis (rare but serious)
At Clinique Alpa, all aesthetic treatments are performed by Dr Mitesh Parmar, a qualified GP with Level 7 training in aesthetics. This means:
- Full understanding of facial anatomy
- Ability to manage complications
- Medical-grade products only
- Proper sterile technique
