Hyaluronic acid dermal filler

Hyaluronic-acid filler restores volume and refines contour — cheeks, chin, lips, tear trough and more — with natural, reversible results.

Quick answer

Filler: what to know first

Hyaluronic-acid filler can replace selected volume or support facial structure. It is a medical injection rather than a general skin-quality treatment, so the plan must consider anatomy, product choice, reversibility and the rare but urgent risk of vascular occlusion.

Suitable for
Selected volume loss, contour or structural-support needs after facial assessment
Discuss first
Discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding, infection, allergies, bleeding risk, medicines and previous filler
Discomfort
Needle or cannula pressure and stinging; anaesthetic may reduce discomfort
Downtime
Swelling, tenderness and bruising can last several days; severe pain or colour change needs urgent contact
When change may be noticed
Contour is visible early but should be judged after swelling settles
Alternatives
Botulinum toxin, collagen biostimulators, energy-based devices or surgery address different causes
Injectable

What is dermal filler?

Hori uses hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers — HA is a sugar molecule the skin already makes that can hold many times its weight in water. Cross-linked into a smooth gel of varying firmness, it is placed in precise planes to restore lost volume, support structure and smooth folds.

Different products are chosen for different jobs: a soft, flexible gel for lips and fine lines; a firmer, more cohesive gel to rebuild cheek or chin structure. Results are immediate, settle over a week or two, and — importantly — can be dissolved with an enzyme (hyaluronidase) if an adjustment is ever wanted.

How it works

01

HA gel adds immediate volume and structure where it is placed.

02

HA binds water, helping skin look hydrated and plump.

03

It is gradually broken down by the body and can be dissolved with an enzyme if desired.

Why it may help

Why Filler

  • Restores volume to cheeks, lips, chin and under-eyes
  • Refines proportions and facial balance
  • Immediate, controllable and reversible result
  • Hydrating HA for a soft, natural finish

A doctor may consider it for

  • Volume loss in cheeks, temples or under-eyes
  • Static lines such as nasolabial folds
  • Want lip or chin enhancement
  • Prefer an immediate, adjustable result

On the day and afterwards

After assessing facial proportions, the doctor injects hyaluronic-acid gel with a needle or cannula, often using a numbing cream or HA pre-mixed with anaesthetic for comfort. A session takes about 30 minutes.

Mild swelling or small bruises may occur and settle within days. Avoid heat, intense exercise and pressure on the area for 24–48 hours. Results are visible immediately and refine as swelling resolves.

When changes may appear

Results are immediate and typically last 6–18 months depending on the product and area. Because HA filler can be dissolved with an enzyme, the result is adjustable and reversible.

Everyone responds differently. Before treatment, your doctor will examine the area and talk through a plan that makes sense for you.

Filler, answered.

Is filler safe?+

No filler injection is risk-free. Product choice, anatomy and technique matter; rare intravascular injection can cause tissue injury, visual complications or stroke. The doctor should explain product- and area-specific risks before consent.

Can it be dissolved?+

Hyaluronidase can break down many HA fillers, but it is a medical treatment with its own risks and may not completely reverse every complication or aesthetic result.

Will it look natural?+

The aim can be a subtle, balanced change, but the visible outcome varies with anatomy, product, swelling and technique and cannot be guaranteed.

Before you decide

A few things to know about Hyaluronic-acid filler

We last reviewed these sources on 23 July 2026. They can help you prepare for a consultation, but they cannot replace an examination or a consent discussion with your doctor.

What the evidence says

Filler is a medical injection. The appropriate product, amount and anatomical plane depend on the treatment area and examination; not every filler is intended for every location.

Risks worth discussing

Swelling and bruising are common. Rare intravascular injection can cause tissue injury, visual complications or stroke; unusual pain, vision change or pale/blue skin needs urgent assessment.

Tell us before you book

  • Ask which exact product or device will be used and where.
  • Tell us about medicines, allergies, pregnancy, medical conditions and recent procedures.
  • Ask about alternatives, recovery and warning signs.
