Why Dermal Fillers Deserve a Second Look…

Dermal Fillers Demystified: Why They Deserve a Second Look — Especially at Glowing by Leah Stroud

When you hear “dermal fillers,” what comes to mind? If it’s overfilled lips or frozen expressions, you’re not alone — but you’re also not getting the full picture.

At Glowing by Leah, we’re on a mission to flip the script. Dermal fillers, when used correctly by a trained medical professional, offer subtle, balanced, and beautifully natural results. And that’s exactly what we do.

Why Do Dermal Fillers Have a Bad Name?

We’ve all seen filler results that look too much — lips that don’t move, “pillow face,” or harsh jawlines. But the problem isn’t the filler itself — it’s usually the technique, product choice, or lack of personalised assessment.

When dermal fillers are approached medically and artistically, they don’t distort your features — they restore them.

The Glowing by Leah Approach: Personalised, Subtle, and Safe

At our aesthetic clinics in Stroud and Andover, every treatment is rooted in expert medical understanding and artistic precision. We don’t believe in trends — we believe in timeless, fresh-looking results tailored to you.

Our treatments begin with an in-depth consultation to assess your facial structure, lifestyle, and goals. From there, we create a bespoke plan designed to restore facial harmony, not change how you look.

We proudly use Restylane® dermal fillers by Galderma — a premium, clinically backed range known for safety, long-lasting results, and a natural finish.


Understanding Facial Ageing: Why Does Volume Matter?

As we age, our skin loses key building blocks — particularly collagen, elastin, and fat. This leads to:

  • Flattened cheeks and under-eye hollows
  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines
  • Thinning lips and downturned mouth corners
  • Sagging skin due to volume loss and reduced structural support

This process, often called Deflation, Descent and Degrade, can also be accelerated by stress, weight loss, sun exposure, and smoking.

How Dermal Fillers Help Rejuvenate the Face

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances made from hyaluronic acid (HA) — a naturally occurring molecule in the skin that binds water and keeps tissues hydrated and plump.

At Glowing by Leah, we use a range of filler densities to precisely treat different areas of the face, because your tear troughs need a different approach than your jawline or lips.

With our medical expertise, we can:

  • Restore lost volume in the cheeks and under-eyes
  • Define lips while maintaining a soft, natural look
  • Smooth fine lines and folds around the nose, chin and mouth
  • Lift sagging areas to refresh your overall appearance

What to Expect: Your Treatment Journey

Step 1: Consultation & Medical Assessment
We start by understanding your unique facial structure, ageing pattern, and goals. You’ll receive a personalised treatment plan and transparent pricing.

Step 2: The Treatment
We use fine needles or micro-cannulas (blunt-tipped tools that minimise trauma and bruising) to inject dermal fillers into precise locations.

Step 3: Comfort & Aftercare
We apply numbing cream beforehand, and most clients find the treatment very manageable. You’ll see instant results with minimal downtime!

We only use Restylane by Galderma — one of the most trusted names in the aesthetic world, with decades of clinical backing.

✨ Natural integration with skin for smooth, subtle results
✨ Long-lasting but fully reversible

Common Myths vs Facts About Dermal Fillers

MYTH: Fillers always look fake
FACT: In expert hands, fillers simply restore volume and enhance your natural features.

MYTH: Fillers freeze your face
FACT: That’s a confusion with anti-wrinkle injections. Fillers restore volume — they don’t affect muscle movement.

MYTH: Fillers are permanent
FACT: HA-based fillers are temporary and reversible, typically lasting 6–18 months depending on the area.

MYTH: You’ll need loads of filler for results
FACT: Sometimes, small tweaks make the biggest difference. We always take a conservative, buildable approach.
