What dermal fillers are
Most dermal fillers are based on hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the skin and helps it hold volume and moisture. As we age the face gradually loses volume; a filler is placed beneath the skin to gently restore support, soften a fold or refine a contour. Hyaluronic-acid fillers are temporary and, in many cases, can be adjusted or dissolved if needed.
Areas dermal fillers can treat
- Cheeks and midface — restoring gentle volume and support
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Lips — subtle definition or hydration
- Chin and jawline — refining contour
- Other areas assessed at your consultation
Our approach: subtle and individual
We aim for a refreshed, natural-looking result rather than an obviously treated one. Every face is different, so treatment starts with a conversation about your goals and what is realistic. Dr Chalita assesses your facial structure and recommends an approach suited to you, with a clear plan before any treatment begins.
What to expect at your appointment
After the consultation and consent, the area is cleaned and a fine needle or cannula is used to place the filler. Many fillers contain a local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. Some mild swelling or tenderness for a day or two is normal and settles on its own; we provide written aftercare advice.
How long results last
Results are temporary and the duration varies by product and the area treated. Rather than quote a fixed figure, we will give you a realistic idea for your specific treatment, and plan any maintenance, at your consultation.
Is it right for you?
Dermal fillers suit many adults, but they are not for everyone — certain medical conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and some medications mean treatment is not advisable. A consultation with a registered practitioner is essential, and we will be honest if a different approach would serve you better.

Dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections — how they differ
These two treatments are often confused but do different jobs. Anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscles that create movement lines, while dermal fillers add volume and support to restore contour and soften static folds. Many people benefit from one or the other; some from a considered combination planned together at consultation.
Aftercare and looking after your results
Some mild swelling, redness or tenderness for a day or two is normal and settles on its own. We provide written aftercare advice — generally avoiding heavy exercise, excessive heat and pressure on the area for a short period. We review your result where helpful and plan any maintenance with you.

Who carries out your treatment matters. Dr Chalita le Roux is a registered dental and aesthetic practitioner (HPCSA DP 0118702) with a detailed understanding of facial anatomy from her dental training — central to placing filler thoughtfully and safely, and to being honest about what is realistic.

Frequently asked questions
What are dermal fillers made of?
Most are based on hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the skin and helps it hold volume and moisture.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Results are temporary and vary by product and area. We will give you a realistic idea of duration and any maintenance at your consultation.
Do they hurt?
Most fillers contain a local anaesthetic and a numbing cream can be applied beforehand, so discomfort is usually mild and brief.
Are they reversible?
Hyaluronic-acid fillers can, in many cases, be dissolved with an enzyme if needed. We will discuss this at your consultation.
