Facial Volume & Definition.
Dermal Aesthetics is a non-surgical, treatment to restore volume and enhance facial contours. This procedure helps smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and facial folds, giving your skin a fuller appearance. It brings a refreshed, revitalised look to your features.
Dermal aesthetics consultations and treatments are provided by Dr Danushi and registered nurses, who will assess your aesthetic goals and create a tailored treatment plan just for you.
How it Works
Dermal aesthetics work by precisely and gently administering a specialised product beneath the skin’s surface to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and smooth out deeper lines and folds. Our medical team carefully place the product into the targeted areas, rejuvenating and adding structure where needed. This technique helps to restore a youthful balance to your appearance, enhancing your natural features and creating a refreshed, well-rested look.
Dermal aesthetics are suitable for all skin types and genders, offering a minimally invasive treatment with no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities right away. Results are visible immediately, with the benefits lasting several months. We recommend follow-up treatments every 6-12 months to maintain your desired look and keep your facial contours naturally enhanced.

What to Expect
Before your treatment at Dr. D Cosmetics, our aesthetic team will guide you through a detailed consultation to understand your aesthetic goals and provide a personalised plan. We’ll assess your facial structure and skin condition, taking into account how ageing has affected your facial volume and contours. Our aim is to restore and enhance your natural features.
During the procedure, these areas are targeted. These work by replenishing lost volume, filling in lines, and providing structural support beneath the skin. You can expect a comfortable and quick experience, thanks to the use of advanced techniques designed to minimise discomfort and optimise results.
After treatment, you may experience some minor swelling or redness, which typically subsides within a few days. Our team will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and maximise the benefits of your treatment. Over the next several weeks, your face will gradually appear rejuvenated, with restored volume and a refreshed, youthful look.
For optimal outcomes, we may recommend an initial series of treatments followed by regular maintenance to ensure long-lasting, natural-looking results.
By choosing dermal aesthetics at Dr. D Cosmetics, you’re opting for a safe, effective treatment that enhances your natural look without the need for invasive surgery. Regular maintenance treatments can help to keep your results looking fresh and rejuvenated.
