TREATMENT SUMMARY


Small injections using a very fine needle are administered to the chin area into the muscles which cause the dimpling. Typically, I place an injection on either side of the midline (2 injections total) using about 5 units of Anti-Wrinkle Injections on each side. Effects starts within 3-5 days and lasts 3-4 months.

How can dermal fillers help with chin shadowing?

The chin shadow area is often linked to a weak or receding chin, volume loss, or natural facial structure. Shadows in this area can create an aged or unbalanced appearance, particularly when combined with marionette lines (the lines running from the corners of the mouth down to the chin).

Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution to improve this by:

  • Restoring lost volume to the chin and surrounding area.
  • Softening the appearance of dark shadows by creating a smoother contour.
  • Minimising marionette lines, which can contribute to an aged or downturned appearance.
  • Adding projection and definition for a more balanced profile.
  • Enhancing facial harmony, improving the overall proportions of the lower face.

For many patients, this treatment is combined with chin augmentation using fillers, especially if the chin is naturally small or receding.

Sara is very knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease. I am delighted with the treatment I received (BBL/silk clear) to clear my rosacea. Communication was always clear and I love the results. Looking forward to my next visit :-)

I suffer with rosacea which has gotten progressively worse in my 30s. I also did not like all the pigmentation on my face from years of sun damage. I got BBL laser done with Sarah as this was highly recommended for pigmentation and redness. I couldn't recommend Sarah enough, she was so friendly, knowledgeable and informative and great at keeping me calm during the treatment. I had some redness directly after the treatment which subsided within a couple hours and my skin has not looked better in months. Can't wait for the final result. If you have been considering BBL do not hesitate and book it, you wont regret it. Many thanks to Sarah, looking forward to my next visit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Is the treatment uncomfortable?

Most patients find the procedure very tolerable. The dermal fillers we use contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic that helps minimise discomfort. You may feel a slight pinching or pressure during the injections, but this is generally mild. If you have concerns about sensitivity, we can apply a topical numbing cream before the treatment for extra comfort.

What brands of filler do you use?

We only use high-quality, clinically approved dermal fillers, including:

  • Restylane
  • Teosyal
  • Belotero

These brands are known for their natural-looking results, safety, and durability.

How much does the treatment cost?

Pricing is based on the amount of filler required to achieve the desired result.

  • Treatments start from €450
  • The total cost depends on the volume used, which varies for each individual.

A full assessment will be carried out during your consultation, where we’ll determine the amount needed to achieve the best outcome.

Are there any contraindications?

This treatment is not suitable if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have an active skin infection in the treatment area
  • Have severe allergies to dermal filler ingredients

If you have any medical conditions or concerns, we will discuss your suitability during your consultation.

If you’d like to find out whether this treatment is right for you, we’d be happy to see you for a consultation.
