Dermal Filler London
Dermal Filler
in London
Filler is not simply about adding volume. At Re:, it is used to restore support, refine contour, and improve facial proportion — in the cheeks, lips, chin, and jawline — where structural support has genuinely reduced, or where balance can be improved.
At Re: by Dr Haram Kim, filler is administered by a GMC-registered doctor in a private one-to-one setting in Marylebone, London, using STYLAGE® by VIVACY. Every treatment includes a complimentary four-week follow-up.
Balance, first.
Volume, only where it's needed.
Korean aesthetic medicine has always placed harmony and proportion above maximum volume — the aim is a face that looks balanced and rested, not visibly filled. That philosophy shapes how Dr Kim assesses every face at Re:: looking at the whole picture before deciding what, if anything, a single area needs.
Dr Haram Kim grew up in South Korea and trained in Korean aesthetic medicine before bringing that approach to London. A line or fold is often a sign of support loss elsewhere in the face — treating it in isolation rarely gives the most natural result.
Every consultation at Re: is carried out by a GMC-registered doctor who will tell you honestly which areas are genuinely worth treating — and which are better left alone.
What Dermal Filler Is — and Is Not
Filler is used to restore support, shape, or balance — in the cheeks, lips, chin, and jawline — or to soften shadowing where structural support has reduced. It is not a default answer to every line.
A visible fold, such as a smile line or marionette line, is often linked to support loss elsewhere. Assessing the whole face matters more than treating one line in isolation.
This category also covers filler review and dissolving — important where previous filler needs reassessing, refining, or removing because it no longer suits the face.
Areas We Do Not Treat
Some areas of the face carry a materially higher risk of serious vascular complications, including skin necrosis and — in very rare cases — vision changes. At Re:, these areas are simply not treated, regardless of technique.
This is a deliberate safety boundary, not a limitation of skill. These areas require facilities and a risk profile beyond the scope of this clinic. If you have been recommended treatment in one of these areas elsewhere, Dr Kim is happy to discuss your options honestly at consultation.
Dermal Filler Treatment Options
Every treatment includes a complimentary four-week follow-up. Dr Kim will recommend the most appropriate area following consultation and whole-face assessment.
Restores structure and support to the mid-face. Enhances contour, improves facial balance, and provides gentle lift to surrounding areas.
Softens the lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, restoring gentle support for a smoother appearance.
Softens the lines from the corners of the mouth toward the chin, restoring support to the lower face while maintaining natural movement.
Enhances lip shape, definition, and balance while maintaining a natural appearance. Refines the border, improves symmetry, and creates subtle volume.
Enhances chin projection, shape, and balance to improve lower-face proportions and create a more defined side profile.
Refines and defines the jawline for a more structured lower-face appearance, tailored to improve contour and support facial balance.
Consultation and treatment appointment for the removal of unwanted hyaluronic acid filler, planned following full assessment of the area and your medical history.
All prices include VAT at 20%. Suitability confirmed at consultation. Individual results may vary.
Is Dermal Filler Right for You?
- —You have noticed volume loss in the cheeks or mid-face affecting your facial balance
- —You would like subtle lip enhancement — better definition, shape, or gentle volume — without an obvious result
- —You want more definition in the chin or jawline to improve your side profile
- —You have previous filler from elsewhere that concerns you and want it assessed, refined, or dissolved
- —You are looking for a natural-looking improvement that suits your face as it is, not a trend-driven look
Dermal Filler vs Other Treatments
Patients often arrive unsure whether filler, anti-wrinkle treatment, or a skin quality treatment is the right starting point. These comparisons clarify what dermal filler is, what it is not, and where other treatments are more appropriate.
Restores support and defines contour in the cheeks, lips, chin, and jawline. Does not affect muscle activity. Best where the concern is structure or proportion.
Reduces the activity of a targeted muscle, easing expression lines and tension. A different mechanism to filler — the two are frequently combined.
Improves skin texture, hydration, and resilience through collagen stimulation. No volume added. Addresses the condition of the skin, not its structure.
Supports skin renewal for texture and tone concerns. Works at the level of the skin surface, not structure — a complementary rather than alternative treatment.
The right starting point depends on your specific concern. Dr Kim will advise at consultation based on an honest assessment of what is genuinely likely to help.
What to Expect
Filler is administered by injection following a thorough facial assessment. Depending on the area, the appointment takes 45–60 minutes. A complimentary four-week follow-up is included with all filler treatments.
Result is immediate, with the final look visible in 1–2 weeks once any swelling resolves. Lip filler typically lasts 6–9 months; cheek and jawline filler may last 12–18 months or longer.
Mild swelling and bruising possible, particularly with lip filler. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.

Aftercare
- —Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol
- —Avoid saunas, hot yoga, and excessive heat
- —Avoid touching or massaging the treated area unless advised
- —Avoid makeup on the treated area for the rest of the day
- —Some swelling and tenderness immediately after — normal, and settles over days
- —Occasional bruising, more likely with lip filler
- —Final result visible once swelling has fully settled, usually 1–2 weeks
- —Complimentary four-week review included to assess the settled result
Combination Treatments
Dermal filler works well as part of a broader plan. The following treatments are commonly combined with filler at Re:, with timing discussed at consultation.
Filler restores volume and structure, while anti-wrinkle treatment addresses muscle-driven lines and tension. Used together, they address two distinct aspects of facial ageing.
Filler restores structure, while Rejuran improves the underlying skin quality. Together they address shape and skin condition separately.
Results are supported and sustained by a consistent homecare routine. A personalised Obagi skincare plan is often recommended alongside in-clinic treatment for the best long-term outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
Filler is administered without topical anaesthetic, though the products used include a small amount of local anaesthetic within the gel itself. Most patients find it manageable. Some swelling and tenderness afterwards is normal and settles within a few days.
This depends on the area treated, the product used, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. Lip filler typically lasts 6–9 months. Cheek and jawline filler may last 12–18 months or longer.
A complimentary review is included with all filler treatments. This allows Dr Kim to assess the settled result and discuss any refinement if needed. It is not an additional treatment appointment unless something is being adjusted.
No. Dermal filler restores volume, support, and contour. Anti-wrinkle treatment reduces muscle activity for expression lines and tension. They work differently and are often combined — which is appropriate for you is discussed at consultation.
Yes. We do not treat the tear troughs, nose, glabella, or temples at Re:. These areas carry a materially higher risk of serious vascular complications, including skin necrosis and vision changes, and require facilities and a risk profile beyond the scope of this clinic. This is a safety boundary, not a limitation of skill. If you have been recommended treatment in these areas elsewhere, Dr Kim is happy to discuss your options honestly at consultation.
In many cases, yes. Hyaluronic acid filler can be broken down using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which is a prescription-only medicine used off-label for this purpose in UK aesthetic practice. This is offered at Re: as a dedicated appointment, following full assessment of the area and your medical history by Dr Kim.
No cosmetic treatment is entirely without risk, and filler is no exception. At Re:, risk is managed through careful patient selection, a whole-face assessment before any treatment, clear safety boundaries on which areas are treated, and delivery by Dr Haram Kim, a GMC-registered doctor. Suitability, including your relevant medical history, is always confirmed at consultation.
The aim at Re: is a result that suits your face as it is, not a trend-driven look. Filler is used to restore support and balance rather than to maximise volume. Dr Kim discusses the amount and approach that is appropriate for you specifically, before any treatment is agreed.
STYLAGE® by VIVACY, a European hyaluronic acid filler range with built-in antioxidant technology. As with any injectable product, suitability and expected outcome are discussed individually at consultation.
Sometimes, but not always as a first approach. These lines are often linked to support loss elsewhere in the face, so Dr Kim assesses the whole face rather than treating one fold in isolation. The most appropriate approach is discussed at consultation.
Hyaluronic acid filler, including in the lips, can generally be dissolved using hyaluronidase if genuinely needed. This is discussed honestly at consultation, including realistic expectations about the process.
Pricing at Re: starts from £420 for smile lines, marionette lines, or lips, and from £520–£560 for cheeks, chin, or jawline. Full pricing is published on our pricing page. Exact cost depends on the volume and areas recommended at consultation.
Yes. Dermal filler is commonly combined with anti-wrinkle treatment, polynucleotides (Rejuran), or a medical-grade skincare programme as part of a broader plan. Dr Kim will discuss what makes sense for your specific concern at consultation.
Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat (saunas, hot yoga) for 24–48 hours. Avoid touching, massaging, or applying makeup to the treated area for the rest of the day.
