How long does a Dermal Filler treatment take?

Depending on the area you’re having treated will determine how long your treatment will take. So, how long can you expect your Dermal Filler treatment to take?

So, you’re interested in a session of Dermal Filler, but are unsure how to fit it in around a busy schedule. Of course, there are a few variables that come into play that can impact the length of your filler treatment. Things like the area, or number of areas, being treated, and the volume of filler can impact the length of your treatment.

All of these things will either lengthen or shorten the duration of your treatment. Luckily, the final results will be the same regardless. Effortlessly volumised skin and perfectly balanced features.

In this guide, we’ll be advising on how to plan your dermal filler sessions by breaking down how long each area takes. This will allow you to plan your day with accurate timescales for the treatment you desire.

What areas can be treated with Dermal Filler?

Dermal Fillers are typically facial treatments, designed to improve volume in certain areas and smooth out creases and other skin imperfections. Areas, where dermal fillers are usually administered include:

  • Lips
  • Cheeks
  • Marionette lines
  • Chin
  • Tear Trough
  • Jaw
  • Temple
  • Earlobes
  • Neckline
  • Hands

Although filler is often used on facial areas, dermal fillers for hands can also help to reduce the appearance of wrinkled hands, whose skin elasticity has been lost over time. If the area you would like your treatment to be isn’t mentioned above, speak to one of our injectable specialists who will be able to advise whether or not your treatment will be appropriate.

You can also learn more about the areas that can be treated in our Ultimate Guide to Dermal Fillers.

How long does filler treatment take for each area?

15 – 30 minutes

You can expect most dermal filler treatments on the face, neck or shoulders to last around 30 minutes. Although treatment areas for filler are often small, these treatments require a number of precision injections. You should expect to wait no longer than 30 minutes for your filler treatment to be completed.

There will be some light aftercare to consider following your treatment. Not to worry, you can find everything you need to know about Aftercare for Dermal Fillers in our helpful aftercare guide.

What will determine how long my treatment takes?

Number of areas being treated

If you’re stacking your filler treatments into what is referred to as a ‘liquid facelift’ you can expect your treatment to last longer than the standard 30 mins. Speak to your practitioner before your treatment for an accurate breakdown of timescales for the particular areas you would like to have treated.
