Hyaluronic acid filler replaces the support we lose with age, the bone, fat and collagen that quietly recede, placed precisely to lift and balance rather than inflate. Every area has a reason. In the mid-face it restores the support the cheek has lost. Along the jaw and chin, small volumes along the bone can rebalance a whole profile. In the lips, a softer gel restores lost hydration and definition without changing how your mouth moves.
Filler cannot fix skin quality, texture or fine lines, and adding more to try is a common cause of the overdone look. It is a medical device, and who can legally inject it in England is still loosely regulated, so choosing a medically trained practitioner is the entire point.
The serious risk is filler entering a blood vessel. It is rare but real, so we favour a blunt cannula over a needle in higher-risk areas, inject slowly in small amounts, and always have the reversal agent on hand. Hyaluronic acid filler is one of the few things we use that can be dissolved quickly if we ever need to.
A medical professional assesses you, maps your face and shows you the plan before anything starts. Photos for your file.
Numbing cream first. Cannula where it is safer, needle where it is more precise. Comfortable for most people.
Some swelling, now and then a small bruise. Lips swell more than anywhere else, so do not judge the result that evening.
The true, settled shape shows at around two weeks, which is when we assess for any touch-up.
Priced per area and per volume. We build conservatively and would rather under-treat on the day and review than overcorrect.
Prices from the live KB menu, 26 October 2026. Single sessions are paid in full. Courses can be split over three months. KB members save 10% on most further treatments and on in-clinic skincare.
We do less, we balance, and we would always rather lose the treatment than have you look overdone. If you have been overdone elsewhere, we can dissolve it and start again, honestly. And none of it holds a candle to what your skin does when you look after it with medical-grade skincare underneath.
Not here. The best lip filler is the kind people notice looks good, not that you have had it done. We build gradually over a couple of sessions rather than overfill in one go.
Six to twelve months in the lips, because they move so much, twelve to eighteen along the jaw and chin, nine to eighteen elsewhere.
The serious risk is rare but real, and it is why technique and training matter. We use a cannula where it is safer, go slowly, and always have the reversal agent on hand.
Yes, tell us at consultation. The injection can occasionally trigger one, and we can talk about antiviral cover beforehand.
Every injectable treatment at KB begins with a consultation and a prescriber's assessment. New patient assessment with Kelsey, £95. Existing patients with a plan can book straight in.
