Forehead Filler
What Is the Procedure For?
Forehead filler is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment aimed at restoring volume to the upper face, smoothing static and dynamic horizontal lines, and enhancing contour and symmetry. As part of a full-face rejuvenation strategy, this procedure can provide subtle lift and structure to the forehead, complementing other treatments in the mid and lower face.
This Treatment is Ideal for Those Who:
-
Have deep-set horizontal forehead lines due to repetitive movement or ageing
-
Experience loss of volume or a hollowed appearance between the brows and hairline
-
Seek improved skin smoothness, firmness, and hydration in the upper face
-
Wish to address mild asymmetry or contour irregularities in the forehead
-
Prefer a natural-looking result without undergoing surgery or threads




How Does the Treatment Work?Using a hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler, small amounts of product are strategically injected to restore lost volume, soften expression lines, and support the overlying skin. The HA attracts water, improving hydration and elasticity while also stimulating collagen production over time. Treatment is performed with a needle or cannula, depending on the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome. Filler is placed in either the supraperiosteal or subcutaneous planes for long-lasting support and lift.
Injection Points for the Filler Treatment:
- Horizontal forehead lines (typically 2–4 sites depending on line severity)
- Central forehead (above glabella) to improve contour and support frontal bone loss
- Lateral forehead and temporal hollows (if required, to support eyebrow projection)
- Deep injections may be placed on the bone to restore structure, with superficial injections used to refine texture


Cannula vs. Needle Technique:
- Needle: Offers precision for targeted line correction or specific structural support. Ideal for deep bolus placement on bone or within deeper dermal layers. Slightly higher risk of bruising.
- Cannula: Preferred for broader distribution with lower risk of vascular compromise. Enables safer treatment of larger areas using fewer entry points. Commonly used for lateral forehead and temple blending.
- The choice of technique will depend on the patient’s facial anatomy, treatment goals, and risk profile.
Understanding Cross-Linking in Filler Products:
- Hyaluronic acid fillers are stabilised through cross-linking bonds which influence their firmness and longevity.
- Higher cross-linked fillers (e.g. Juvederm Voluma) are firmer and better for structural support but may feel denser under thin skin.
- Lower cross-linked fillers (e.g. Teosyal RHA) are softer and more elastic, ideal for dynamic areas such as the forehead.
- More cross-linking generally increases the duration of results, ranging from 6 to 18 months depending on product and placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dermal fillers made of?
Most dermal fillers used at Haus of Ästhetik are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and add volume to the skin.
What areas can dermal fillers treat?
Fillers are used to treat a range of areas including lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, temples, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, tear troughs, hands, and even non-surgical rhinoplasty.
How do I prepare for a dermal filler appointment?
Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen) for 24–48 hours before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. Stay hydrated, and come with a clean face free of makeup.
Is local anaesthetic used during the treatment?
Yes. All our dermal fillers contain lidocaine for comfort. In addition, we apply a prescription-grade topical anaesthetic (10% lidocaine), which is significantly stronger than over-the-counter LMX or EMLA creams.
What is the benefit of using 10% lidocaine topical anaesthetic?
Our high-strength lidocaine offers faster onset and deeper numbing, ensuring a more comfortable experience for our patients.
Is the procedure painful?
Discomfort is minimal. The combination of topical anaesthetic and lidocaine in the filler significantly reduces pain. Cannula techniques also help minimise trauma.
How long do dermal filler results last?
Longevity depends on the treatment area and filler used, but results typically last between 6–18 months.
How long does the treatment take?
Most procedures take 30–45 minutes, including consultation and aftercare advice.
Are results visible immediately?

If so how much swelling occurs?
On average at the time of hte procedure there will be around 30% swelling onto of the effects of the filler procedure.
What’s the difference between needle and cannula techniques?
Needles are used for precision, especially in smaller areas. Cannulas allow for less trauma, fewer entry points, and reduced bruising, ideal for larger areas.
Are there side effects?
Common side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at injection sites. These are usually mild and resolve within 3–5 days.
What should I avoid after treatment?
Avoid touching the treated area, wearing makeup for 12 hours, strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours, and alcohol for 24 hours.

Can I fly after dermal fillers?

Yes. Many patients combine fillers with anti-wrinkle injections, skin boosters, microneedling, or LED therapy for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Our approach focuses on subtle, natural-looking enhancements tailored to your facial anatomy. We never overfill or compromise aesthetic harmony.
Can I wear makeup after my filler treatment?
It is best to wait at least 12 hours post-treatment before applying makeup to reduce the risk of infection.

What happens if I bruise?
Bruising is a common and temporary side effect. Arnica cream, ice packs, and avoiding blood thinners pre-treatment can help minimise this.
Will I need a follow-up appointment?
Some patients benefit from a review after 2–4 weeks. This is discussed during your consultation.
Can dermal fillers move or migrate?
When injected properly into the correct anatomical plane, filler migration is rare. Adherence to aftercare helps reduce this risk as well as using good quality products.
How do I know if I’m suitable for dermal fillers?
