01Volume & Contouring
Dermal fillers restore volume, enhance contours, and soften lines using hyaluronic acid-based products. At Silk Clinical Aesthetics, our registered nurses deliver precise filler treatments for natural, balanced results across cheeks, chin, jawline, tear trough, and more.
Individual results vary. Your plan and timing are confirmed at consultation.
Dermal fillers in Christchurch at Silk Clinical Aesthetics are hyaluronic acid injectables performed by registered nurses to restore volume in cheeks, chin, jawline, lips, and tear troughs. Treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes, results are immediate, and last 6 to 18 months depending on the product and area. Pricing starts from $350, with most 1ml treatments $500 to $640.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that use hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in your skin, to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and smooth deep lines and folds. Unlike anti-wrinkle injections that relax muscles, fillers physically add volume beneath the skin's surface.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected beneath the skin at specific depths and locations to add volume, lift tissues, or smooth lines. Different filler consistencies are used for different areas: softer fillers for delicate areas like lips and tear troughs, medium fillers for lines and folds, and thicker fillers for structural areas like cheeks, chin, and jawline. The HA also attracts and holds water, providing hydration to the treated area.
Dermal fillers are versatile and can address cheek volume loss, chin projection and definition, jawline contouring, tear trough hollows, nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, temple hollowing, and hand rejuvenation. They are also used for lip enhancement (see our dedicated lip filler page).
Treatment times vary from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the areas being treated. Your registered nurse will conduct a thorough facial assessment, discuss your goals, and recommend a treatment plan. Most fillers contain lidocaine (a local anaesthetic) for comfort. Results are visible immediately, though final results are best assessed after any initial swelling subsides over 1 to 2 weeks.
Results are immediate, with the treated area showing restored volume or improved contour straight away. Minor swelling and bruising are common and typically resolve within 1 to 2 weeks. Results last 6 to 18 months depending on the product used, treatment area, and individual metabolism. Touch-up treatments can maintain your results over time.

When performed by an experienced injector, absolutely. Our nurses focus on restoring balance and proportion rather than creating an overfilled appearance. We take a conservative approach, and it is always possible to add more at a follow-up appointment.

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This provides a safety net and also allows for corrections if needed. We offer a dissolver service at Silk Clinical.
Dermal fillers are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or where there is an active skin infection near the treatment area. Some medical conditions and medications also affect suitability. Your nurse takes a full medical history at consultation and will tell you plainly if filler is not the right treatment for you, or not the right treatment yet.
↳Before and after
We only publish real, consented, unedited patient imagery: same lighting and angle in both frames, timepoint stated, nothing retouched.
Our consented before-and-after gallery is being photographed now. We would rather show you nothing than show you a stock image or a result that is not ours. If you want to see examples relevant to your concern in the meantime, ask at your consultation.
↳Worth knowing about
Most well-built treatment plans use more than one tool. The device below is the one we lean on most often alongside this treatment. The rationale for the pairing is explained below.
↳South Island Exclusive
Filler restores volume. Volnewmer maintains the skin envelope around it. We see better long-term filler outcomes in clients who pair the two, because the surrounding skin holds shape rather than stretching around new product. Skin tightening belongs in your filler plan, not after it.
