What are Dermal FIllers
Dermal fillers are non-surgical aesthetic treatments designed to restore volume, soften lines, and enhance facial features with subtle, natural-looking results.
Made from hyaluronic acid – a substance naturally found in the skin – fillers work by attracting water molecules and therefore assists with moisture retention, reducing dull skin and fine lines, plumping and volumises the skin. When in gel form it can replace lost volumes in the skin to soften deep lines, reduce dark circles and enhance contours such as cheek bones.

The Process
At Galway Skin Clinic, every dermal filler treatment begins with a detailed consultation. We assess your facial anatomy, listen to your goals, and educate you on the potential risks and benefits, so you feel informed and comfortable at every step.
Before treatment, your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared to ensure safety and precision. A local anaesthetic is used to maximise comfort during the procedure. We use advanced techniques and carefully selected dermal fillers tailored to specific areas of the face – from enhancing lips to restoring cheek volume – always aiming for subtle, refined, and balanced results.
You’ll leave looking like you, only fresher. Most results are visible immediately and typically last between 12 and 18 months, depending on the area treated and the type of filler used.
