As we age, the face naturally loses volume — in the cheeks, under the eyes, around the mouth, and along the jawline. This contributes to a hollowed, tired, or aged appearance that anti-wrinkle injections alone can’t fully address. Dermal fillers replace and restore that volume, softening shadows, lifting contours, and smoothing deep lines from within.
At Apsaras Aesthetic Clinic in Coventry, we use hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers — including the Croma and Revanesse ranges. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body produces naturally, making HA fillers highly biocompatible, reversible, and safe when administered correctly. Our filler treatments are planned by Dr Thevendra following a thorough facial assessment, with product selection and placement tailored to your specific anatomy and goals.
The aim is always the same: results that look like you — just rested, refreshed, and more defined.
Dermal fillers are smooth, gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. At our Coventry skin clinic, we use advanced hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers — a naturally occurring substance in the skin known for its deep hydrating properties.
HA fillers are non-permanent and are safely broken down by the body over time, making them a reliable and reversible option for subtle facial rejuvenation.

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule your skin already makes, and it holds water well. Filler gels come in different thicknesses. Firmer gels give structure along the cheekbones and jaw, and softer ones suit delicate areas like the under-eyes. Choosing the right product for each area matters as much as where it’s placed.
HA filler is temporary. Your body breaks it down gradually over months. If it ever needs to be removed or adjusted early, it can be dissolved. That’s one of the main reasons we use HA fillers for facial treatments.
For longer-lasting structural support, we also offer semi-permanent fillers. Dr Thevendra will talk you through which suits you.
Cheek fillers restore or add volume to the mid-face — lifting the cheeks, softening nasolabial folds and restoring the facial structure that gives a naturally youthful appearance. This is one of the most impactful single-area filler treatments, as central facial volume influences the appearance of the entire face.
Jawline filler creates a sharper, more defined jaw and chin profile — without surgery. It’s used to restore a jawline that has softened with age, improve facial symmetry, or add definition in patients who have never had strong jaw structure. Results are immediate and look completely natural.
Tear trough filler addresses the hollow between the lower eyelid and the upper cheek — one of the most common causes of a permanently tired appearance. This is a technically demanding area that requires precise placement and thorough assessment of suitability. Dr Thevendra will assess carefully at consultation whether tear trough filler is the right approach or whether treating the mid-face would achieve a better result.
The lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth deepen as mid-face volume decreases. Filler placed in these folds — or in the cheeks above them — softens their appearance significantly and restores a more rested, balanced look.
The lines running downward from the corners of the mouth can give a downturned, aged expression. Filler placed strategically in this area lifts the corners and softens the shadow that creates this effect.
Chin filler improves facial proportions and balances the profile. Temple filler restores the hollowing that occurs in the upper face with age — an often-overlooked area that has a significant impact on overall facial balance.
Volume loss in the hands reveals the underlying tendons and veins more prominently. Dermal filler restores a softer, more youthful appearance to the backs of the hands.
Most people go back to normal activities the same day. Swelling, tenderness and bruising at the injection points are common and usually settle within a few days to a week. Under-eye swelling can take a little longer.
Rarer risks include lumps, infection and, very rarely, filler blocking a blood vessel. This is one reason why anatomy knowledge and technique matter, and why we see patients again if anything feels wrong. We’ll go through all of this at your consultation.

We believe that taking time before deciding whether dermal fillers are the right treatment for you is the most important part of your journey with us. Your free 30-minute consultation will include a comprehensive skin assessment and give you the opportunity to ask questions and find out more in a relaxed setting.
Dermal filler treatments are tailored to your unique needs (as are all of our treatments). We’ll explain all of the options during your free consultation and will recommend the best course of treatment for you.
Before treatment, you’ll have an in-depth one-to-one consultation giving you the opportunity to ask any questions and raise concerns. Your doctor will inject the dermal filler and may gently massage the treatment area.
This depends on the areas treated – we’ll advise in full during your free consultation. As a general guide, treatment takes around 10 to 15 minutes.
There’s no downtime with dermal fillers, but some clients experience skin redness, swelling, bruising and tenderness in the treatment area. These symptoms usually calm down quite quickly, but everyone is different.
Some clients experience tenderness during or after treatment, but this is usually short-lived. We can use a numbing cream or cold pack during treatment to help soothe the area.
Botox is a neurotoxin that relaxes muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movements, such as crow’s feet and forehead lines. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are injectable gels that add volume and fill in static wrinkles, like nasolabial folds, and can also enhance areas such as the cheeks and lips. Essentially, Botox is used for wrinkles formed by muscle activity, while dermal fillers address wrinkles and volume loss present even when the face is at rest.
The duration varies depending on the type of filler used and individual factors. On average, most dermal fillers last between 6 and 12 months, though some types can last up to 2 years.
During your free consultation, we listen carefully to what you’d like to enhance or restore and explain how HA fillers such as Croma can safely add volume, definition, and hydration. You’ll receive tailored, expert guidance without any pressure to go ahead.
