AestheFill is an advanced collagen-stimulating injectable treatment for natural-looking facial rejuvenation, volume restoration and improved skin quality. Rather than simply filling lines, AestheFill stimulates your body’s own collagen production to gradually restore support, firmness and youthful facial contours.
At London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic, AestheFill treatments are individually tailored to your facial anatomy and the changes you would like to address. It can be particularly effective for facial volume loss, hollowing, reduced skin firmness and deeper lines and folds, helping to rejuvenate the face without creating an overfilled appearance.
Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, AestheFill works progressively. As new collagen develops, the skin becomes better supported and areas affected by age-related volume loss can gradually appear fuller, smoother and more youthful.
The result is subtle, progressive rejuvenation that works with your natural facial features, making AestheFill an excellent option for patients who want noticeable improvement while still looking like themselves.
What Is AestheFill?
AestheFill is a collagen-stimulating injectable treatment containing poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA), a biodegradable and biocompatible material that helps stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which primarily work by placing volume directly beneath the skin, AestheFill works by encouraging the treated tissues to gradually produce new collagen. This helps restore structural support, improve skin quality and replace some of the volume that can be lost as the face ages.
Because the improvement develops progressively, AestheFill can produce subtle and natural-looking rejuvenation rather than an immediate or noticeably “filled” appearance. It can be used as part of a wider approach to facial rejuvenation, particularly where loss of volume, firmness and underlying support are contributing to an ageing appearance.
How does AestheFill work?
Collagen provides much of the structure, firmness and support within the skin. As we age, collagen production naturally declines, contributing to reduced skin firmness, facial volume loss, lines and wrinkles, and changes in facial contours.
AestheFill uses microscopic particles of PDLLA to stimulate a regenerative response within the treated tissues. Following injection, these particles encourage fibroblasts to produce new collagen around the treatment area.
Over time, the PDLLA is gradually broken down and naturally absorbed by the body, while the newly formed collagen remains to provide greater support and structure within the treated areas.
This process takes place gradually. Rather than creating the final result immediately after treatment, improvements develop over the following weeks and months as collagen production increases. The face can consequently appear firmer, smoother and better supported while retaining its natural proportions and expressions.
What Can AestheFill Treat?
AestheFill can be used to address a range of age-related changes caused by declining collagen, loss of facial volume and reduced structural support. Treatment can be tailored to different areas of the face depending on where these changes are most noticeable.
Cheeks and Mid-Face Volume Loss
Loss of volume through the cheeks and mid-face can make the face appear flatter, less defined or more tired with age. AestheFill can stimulate new collagen in these areas to gradually restore support and improve facial contours without creating an excessively filled appearance.
Hollow Temples
The temples can lose volume as part of the natural ageing process, creating a hollow or more angular appearance around the upper face. AestheFill can be used to restore volume progressively, helping to create a smoother transition between the forehead, temples and cheeks.
Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines
Loss of collagen and facial support can contribute to deeper folds running from the nose towards the mouth and from the corners of the mouth towards the chin. By improving the underlying support of the surrounding tissues, AestheFill can help soften these folds and create a smoother appearance.
Loss of Facial Definition
Age-related changes in collagen, skin quality and facial volume can gradually reduce definition through the face. AestheFill can be strategically placed to improve structural support and restore more youthful facial contours while maintaining the patient’s natural proportions.
Skin Firmness and Early Laxity
AestheFill is not solely used for restoring volume. Its collagen-stimulating action can also improve the firmness, elasticity and overall quality of ageing skin, making it suitable for patients beginning to notice reduced skin support or early facial laxity.
Treatment is individually planned according to your facial anatomy, skin quality, degree of volume loss and the areas you would most like to improve. More than one area can be treated where appropriate to create a balanced and natural-looking result.
AestheFill for Facial Volume Loss
Facial ageing involves more than changes to the surface of the skin. Over time, loss of collagen and changes within the facial fat compartments and deeper supporting tissues can lead to hollowing, flatter cheeks, deeper folds and reduced facial definition.
AestheFill provides a different approach to restoring this lost support. Rather than relying solely on injected material to create immediate volume, it stimulates new collagen formation within the treated tissues. The result develops progressively, helping areas affected by volume loss appear fuller and better supported over time.
Treatment can be particularly beneficial where volume has been lost from the cheeks, mid-face or temples, or where declining facial support has contributed to deeper folds and changes in facial contours.
The aim is to restore rather than alter. Treatment is carefully planned around your existing facial structure to achieve a refreshed, balanced appearance while preserving the features that are individual to you.
AestheFill for Improved Skin Quality
AestheFill can also be used when reduced skin firmness and quality are a greater concern than facial volume loss.
Collagen plays an essential role in maintaining the strength, elasticity and structure of the skin. By stimulating new collagen production, AestheFill can gradually improve skin firmness and support while helping to soften lines and other visible signs of ageing.
Unlike treatments designed to produce an immediate change, the improvement develops progressively as the skin produces new collagen. This allows the complexion to appear smoother, firmer and more refreshed over time, without an abrupt change in your appearance.
For patients experiencing both volume loss and declining skin quality, AestheFill can address these concerns together as part of a wider facial rejuvenation treatment plan.
What Happens During AestheFill Treatment?
Your treatment begins with a consultation and detailed facial assessment at London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic. We will assess your facial structure, skin quality, areas of volume loss and the changes you would like to achieve before recommending an individual treatment plan.
During the procedure, AestheFill is carefully injected into predetermined areas of the face. The depth, placement and amount of product used are tailored to your anatomy and treatment goals, allowing specific areas to be treated while maintaining natural facial proportions.
Treatment itself usually takes around 30 minutes, although this can vary depending on the number of areas being treated. As a minimally invasive injectable procedure, there is generally little downtime, and most patients can return to their normal daily activities soon afterwards.
Before you leave the clinic, you will be given appropriate aftercare advice and information about what to expect as your results begin to develop.
How Many AestheFill Treatments Will I Need?
AestheFill is usually recommended as a course of treatments because collagen production develops progressively rather than after a single injection.
A typical treatment programme may involve around three sessions, usually spaced approximately six weeks apart. However, there is no single treatment schedule that is right for everyone. The number of sessions required will depend on factors such as your age, skin quality, facial structure, degree of volume loss and the results you would like to achieve.
Following your consultation, we will recommend a personalised treatment programme based on your individual needs. Once the initial course is complete, occasional maintenance treatments may be considered to help preserve the results.
When Will I See AestheFill Results?
AestheFill produces gradual results because it works by stimulating your own collagen production. It is therefore quite different from a conventional dermal filler, where much of the additional volume can be seen immediately.
You may notice some initial fullness after treatment, although this is partly due to the solution used during treatment and temporary swelling. This settles before the longer-term effects of collagen stimulation become increasingly visible.
Over the following weeks, the treated areas can begin to appear firmer, smoother and better supported. Improvement can continue to develop over the following months as further collagen is produced.
For many patients, this gradual transformation is an important advantage of AestheFill. Rather than creating a sudden change, the face can progressively appear fresher and more rejuvenated while continuing to look natural.
How Long Do AestheFill Results Last?
AestheFill is designed to provide longer-lasting rejuvenation by stimulating new collagen within the treated tissues rather than relying solely on the presence of an injected filler.
Results can typically last around 12 to 24 months. However, longevity varies from patient to patient and can be influenced by factors including age, skin quality, metabolism, lifestyle, the areas treated and the individual treatment programme.
Because the results develop through your own collagen response, they also fade gradually rather than disappearing suddenly. Maintenance treatment can be considered when the effects begin to diminish, helping to support the results over the longer term.
AestheFill vs Dermal Fillers
AestheFill and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can both restore volume and improve signs of facial ageing, but they achieve this in different ways.
Traditional dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid to physically replace volume in a specific area. The effect is visible immediately, making fillers particularly useful when precise volume enhancement, contouring or correction of a particular feature is required.
AestheFill takes a more gradual approach. Its PDLLA particles stimulate the body to produce new collagen, progressively improving the support and volume of the treated tissues. It may therefore be particularly suitable for patients looking for broader facial rejuvenation, improved skin support and gradual volume restoration rather than an immediate filling effect.
The choice does not always have to be one or the other. Depending on your facial anatomy and treatment goals, AestheFill and dermal fillers may have different roles within an individual facial rejuvenation plan.
AestheFill vs Sculptra
AestheFill and Sculptra are both biostimulatory injectable treatments designed to stimulate collagen production and create gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation. The principal difference is their formulation.
AestheFill contains poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA), while Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Although both belong to the lactic-acid polymer family and work by encouraging new collagen formation, their formulations, particle characteristics and treatment protocols differ.
Both treatments may be considered for concerns such as facial volume loss, reduced structural support and other age-related changes. Rather than regarding one treatment as universally better than the other, the most appropriate option depends on your facial anatomy, skin quality, degree of volume loss and the results you would like to achieve.
London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic offers both established and newer collagen-stimulating treatments, allowing us to recommend the approach best suited to your individual needs rather than taking a one-treatment-fits-all approach.
Recovery and Downtime
AestheFill is a minimally invasive injectable treatment with relatively little downtime, allowing most patients to return to their usual daily activities soon after their appointment.
Some redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising around the injection sites is normal following treatment. The treated areas may also feel slightly sensitive initially. These effects are usually temporary and should gradually settle as the area recovers.
You will generally be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat and other activities that could increase swelling or bruising during the initial recovery period.
Your practitioner will explain what to expect following treatment and provide detailed aftercare instructions before you leave the clinic.
AestheFill Aftercare
Following the correct aftercare is important both for recovery and for achieving the best possible outcome from your AestheFill treatment.
Massage of the treated areas may be recommended following AestheFill. If appropriate, your practitioner will explain exactly how to massage the area, how frequently this should be performed and for how long.
During the initial recovery period, you may also be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat and pressure on the treated areas while any swelling or tenderness settles.
Aftercare recommendations can vary according to the areas treated and your individual treatment plan, so you should follow the specific instructions provided by your practitioner rather than general advice.
Is AestheFill Safe?
AestheFill is made from biodegradable and biocompatible poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA), which is gradually broken down and absorbed by the body.
As with any injectable aesthetic procedure, AestheFill does carry potential risks and side effects. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising can occur following treatment. Less commonly, collagen-stimulating injectables can be associated with complications such as lumps or nodules, inflammation or infection.
For this reason, appropriate patient selection, careful assessment of facial anatomy and correct injection technique are important when performing AestheFill treatment.
Your medical history and suitability for treatment will be assessed during your consultation. The expected benefits, potential side effects and risks will also be discussed so that you can make an informed decision before proceeding.
Who Is Suitable for AestheFill?
AestheFill may be suitable for adults who are beginning to notice facial volume loss, reduced skin firmness, hollowing or other changes associated with declining collagen.
It can be particularly appealing to patients who want to restore facial support and improve skin quality but prefer their results to develop gradually. Because AestheFill stimulates your own collagen production, the objective is progressive rejuvenation that complements your existing facial features rather than creating an obvious change in appearance.
It may also be considered by patients looking for a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation or those interested in improving several age-related concerns as part of a wider treatment plan.
AestheFill will not be appropriate for everyone. Your medical history, skin condition, facial anatomy and treatment goals will therefore be carefully assessed during your consultation before treatment is recommended.
Why Choose London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic for AestheFill?
AestheFill treatments at London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic are led by Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi, a leading facial plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience in facial aesthetics, advanced injectable treatments and non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
Dr Al-Ayoubi has extensive experience with collagen-stimulating treatments, including Sculptra, and takes a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. Rather than treating individual lines or areas of volume loss in isolation, he considers facial proportions, volume distribution, skin quality and the structural changes that occur with ageing.
This experience is particularly important when using a collagen stimulator such as AestheFill. The placement and amount of product can be carefully tailored to areas where additional support and collagen stimulation will provide the greatest benefit, while maintaining the patient’s natural facial proportions.
As London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic offers AestheFill alongside Sculptra, dermal fillers and other advanced facial rejuvenation treatments, Dr Al-Ayoubi can recommend the most appropriate treatment or combination of treatments for each patient.
His approach focuses on restoring facial balance and achieving natural-looking rejuvenation without creating an overfilled or artificial appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AestheFill suitable for first-time injectable patients?
AestheFill can be suitable for patients who have not previously had injectable treatments, particularly if they prefer gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation rather than an immediate change in their appearance. During your consultation at London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic, your concerns and expectations will be discussed before deciding whether AestheFill is the most appropriate treatment for you.
What age is best for AestheFill?
There is no single ideal age for AestheFill. Suitability depends more on the changes occurring within your face and skin than on your age alone. It may be considered when declining collagen, facial volume loss, reduced firmness or changes in facial contours begin to become noticeable.
Will AestheFill make my face look fuller?
AestheFill can gradually restore volume and support in areas affected by facial ageing, but the aim is not to make the face look noticeably larger or overfilled. Treatment is planned according to your existing facial proportions so that improvements develop naturally and remain in balance with your features.
Does AestheFill look natural?
AestheFill is particularly suited to patients seeking natural-looking results because the principal improvement develops gradually through collagen stimulation. Rather than producing an abrupt change in appearance, the face can progressively appear fresher, firmer and better supported over time.
Is AestheFill painful?
AestheFill is administered by injection, so some temporary discomfort or sensitivity can occur during treatment. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and the measures used to make the procedure as comfortable as possible during your appointment.
Can AestheFill be combined with other treatments?
Yes, where appropriate. Facial ageing can involve changes in volume, skin quality, facial contours and the surface of the skin, so a combination of treatments may sometimes provide the most appropriate result. Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi can assess whether AestheFill should be used alone or alongside treatments such as Sculptra, dermal fillers or other facial rejuvenation procedures.
AestheFill or Sculptra – which is better for me?
Both treatments stimulate collagen production, but AestheFill uses PDLLA while Sculptra uses PLLA. Rather than one treatment being universally better, the choice should depend on your facial anatomy, skin quality, areas of volume loss and treatment objectives. As London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic offers both treatments, Dr Al-Ayoubi can advise which approach is more appropriate for you following assessment.
Can I return to work after AestheFill?
Most patients can return to work and normal daily activities relatively quickly following treatment. However, some temporary swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising can occur, so you may prefer to take this into consideration when arranging treatment before an important social or professional event.
How often will I need AestheFill maintenance treatment?
AestheFill results can last approximately 12 to 24 months, although this varies between patients. Once your initial treatment programme is complete, Dr Al-Ayoubi can assess how your results are developing and advise when a maintenance treatment may be beneficial.
How do I know if AestheFill is the right treatment for me?
The best way to determine whether AestheFill is suitable is through a facial assessment rather than choosing an injectable based on the product alone. At London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic, Dr Al-Ayoubi can assess your facial structure, skin quality, volume loss and treatment goals before recommending AestheFill or an alternative treatment where this would be more appropriate.
