Dermal fillers are one of the most effective, non-surgical ways to combat signs of ageing, restore volume, and enhance facial contours. However, not all fillers are created equal, and the best results come from choosing the right filler for the right area of the face.
In this guide, we explore the best dermal fillers for key treatment zones: under eyes, marionette lines, smile lines, and overall volume restoration.
Different Types of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to address various cosmetic concerns in the face. They can restore volume to sunken areas, reduce signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin, and enhance facial contours. There are many types of fillers with different primary ingredients and target concerns:
- Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers: These are the most popular, made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture. Known for their reversible and biocompatible nature. Popular brands include Juvederm, Restylane, and Teosyal.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers: Made from CaHA, a naturally occurring mineral found in bones, they stimulate collagen production and are used to reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles. Radiesse is a popular CaHA filler.
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) fillers: Used in the brand Sculptra, this filler is made from PLLA, a biodegradable substance, which gradually stimulates collagen production to trigger cell regeneration. This leads to reduced wrinkles and volume restoration.
Each filler varies in thickness, elasticity, and longevity, making some better suited for delicate areas like the under eyes and others for deep lines or facial contouring.
Hyaluronic acid (HA)- based dermal fillers are the most accessible and the most widely used for facial enhancements. Two Face Aesthetics stocks a vast range of industry-leading HA-based fillers used by qualified professionals across the UK.
Best Dermal Filler for Under Eyes
The under-eye area (also known as the tear trough) is thin and sensitive, making it one of the most challenging regions to treat. The ideal filler here must be lightweight, smooth, and low in water retention to avoid puffiness and the Tyndall effect (a bluish tint under the skin).
Recommended products:
These fillers are specifically formulated for delicate areas, offering subtle volume and hydration while maintaining a natural, refreshed appearance.
Best Dermal Filler for Marionette Lines
Marionette lines run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin. They’re often caused by volume loss and sagging in the lower face. The ideal filler should be firm and supportive enough to lift and smooth these deep folds.
Recommended products:
These fillers offer structure and durability, helping to soften lines and subtly lift the lower face for a more youthful contour.
Best Dermal Filler for Smile Lines
Smile lines, or nasolabial folds, extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth. They’re also known as dynamic wrinkles, as this area moves constantly with facial expressions. The best filler needs to be flexible and able to move naturally.
Recommended products:
These products provide a balance between firmness and elasticity, allowing for natural movement without compromising on wrinkle reduction.
Best Dermal Filler for Volume Restoration
As we age, fat stores in the face shift and decrease, leading to sagging cheeks, hollow temples, and loss of definition. Volume restoration requires thicker, volumising fillers that can lift and contour the mid and lower face.
Recommended products:
- Juvederm Voluma (best for the cheeks and chin)
- Restylane Lyft (adds volume and lift to the middle of the face)
- REVOLAX Sub-Q (restores lost volume and provides contoured structure to the face)
These fillers are injected deeper into the skin or even near the bone to rebuild structure and offer natural contouring. As they’re slightly more invasive than their thinner counterparts, these thicker fillers are often formulated with lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, to reduce discomfort during treatment.
Best Dermal Filler for Skin Rejuvenation
When it comes to skin rejuvenation, the goal isn't to add volume but to improve skin quality, texture, and elasticity from within. The best dermal fillers for this purpose are biostimulating or skin-boosting formulations that promote collagen production and deep hydration.
Recommended products:
- Sculptra: Made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), it works gradually to stimulate the body’s own collagen, resulting in firmer, smoother, more youthful skin over time.
- Juvederm Volite: This hyaluronic acid (HA)- based skin booster is specifically designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall texture.
These products are ideal for the face, neck, décolletage, and even hands, offering a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
