How Much Do Dermal Fillers Cost in the UK? Lips, Cheeks & More (2026)
What drives dermal filler prices in the UK by area treated, amount of filler, product and practitioner, and how to choose a safe practitioner.
How much do dermal fillers cost in the UK? Prices depend on the area treated, the amount of filler used, the product and the practitioner. TreatCompare does not track dermal filler prices, so this guide publishes no range. It explains what drives the price, so you can compare written quotes like for like.
Amount of filler by area
| Area | Amount typically used |
|---|---|
| Lips | 0.5–1ml |
| Cheeks | 1–2ml per side |
| Jawline | 1–2ml per side |
| Nasolabial folds | 1ml |
| Marionette lines | 1ml |
| Chin | 1–2ml |
| Under-eye (tear trough) | 0.5–1ml |
| Non-surgical rhinoplasty | 0.5–1ml |
Clinics often price per ml (one syringe), so the amount you need is the main driver of the total. Ask for the total for your treatment, not only the per-ml figure.
A single syringe (1ml) is about a fifth of a teaspoon. Lip fillers typically use 0.5–1ml for a natural result. Your practitioner should advise what will look proportionate.
What affects the price?
Filler product
Clinics use different hyaluronic acid (HA) filler ranges, such as Juvederm (Allergan), Restylane (Galderma), Teoxane (Teosyal) and Belotero (Merz), and may price them differently. Ask which named product will be used.
All of these are HA fillers and can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed. Non-HA fillers (e.g. silicone, PMMA) are permanent and cannot be reversed.
Practitioner
Cosmetic surgeons, dermatologists, aesthetic doctors, nurse prescribers and dentists may all offer fillers, and may charge differently. Compare the written price alongside the practitioner's registration and their complication training.
Region
Prices can differ between clinics in London and elsewhere in the UK.
How long do fillers last?
| Area | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Lips | 6–9 months |
| Cheeks | 12–18 months |
| Jawline | 12–18 months |
| Nasolabial folds | 9–12 months |
| Tear trough | 12–18 months |
Results vary based on your metabolism, the specific product and the amount used. Many patients have top-ups once or twice a year, which matters for the yearly cost.
Safety considerations
- Check practitioner registration: GMC (doctors), NMC (nurses), GDC (dentists)
- Ask about the product: it should be a named, CE-marked hyaluronic acid filler
- Complications protocol: the practitioner should have hyaluronidase available to dissolve filler if needed
- No pressure: a practitioner should never pressure you to have more treatment
- Cooling-off period: many clinics allow time between consultation and treatment
Make sure your practitioner stocks hyaluronidase (the enzyme that dissolves HA filler). In the rare event of a vascular occlusion (filler blocking a blood vessel), immediate dissolution is critical. This is a medical emergency that requires a trained responder.
Fillers vs anti-wrinkle injections
| Fillers | Anti-wrinkle injections | |
|---|---|---|
| What they do | Add volume, restore contour | Relax muscles, reduce lines |
| Common areas | Lips, cheeks, jawline, folds | Forehead, frown, crow's feet |
| Duration | 6–18 months | 3–4 months |
| Reversible | HA fillers, with hyaluronidase | No (wears off naturally) |
| Prescription needed | No | Yes, a prescription-only medicine |
Some patients combine both treatments.

Frequently asked questions
How much do dermal fillers cost in the UK?
Prices depend on the area treated, the amount of filler used, the product and the practitioner. TreatCompare does not track dermal filler prices, so we publish no range. Ask each clinic for a written price that states the area, the amount in ml and the named product.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Duration varies by area: lips last 6–9 months, nasolabial folds 9–12 months, and cheeks, jawline and tear trough 12–18 months. Results depend on your metabolism, the specific product used and the amount injected. Many patients have top-ups once or twice a year.
Are dermal fillers reversible?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed. Make sure your practitioner has hyaluronidase available: in the rare event of a vascular occlusion (filler blocking a blood vessel), immediate dissolution is critical. Non-HA fillers (e.g. silicone, PMMA) are permanent and cannot be reversed.
How do practitioner qualifications affect filler prices?
Practitioners with medical, dental or nursing registration may charge differently from one another and from non-medical practitioners. Higher qualifications generally mean more training in facial anatomy and complication management. Compare the written price alongside the practitioner's registration.
What's the difference between dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections?
Dermal fillers add volume and restore contour (used for lips, cheeks, jawline and folds), last 6–18 months, and HA fillers are reversible with hyaluronidase. Anti-wrinkle injections relax muscles to reduce lines (forehead, frown, crow's feet), last 3–4 months, and are not reversible (they wear off naturally). Anti-wrinkle injections use a prescription-only medicine and need a consultation with a registered prescriber.
How do I choose a safe dermal filler practitioner?
Check practitioner registration with the GMC (doctors), NMC (nurses) or GDC (dentists). Confirm they use a named, CE-marked hyaluronic acid filler. Make sure they have hyaluronidase available on site to dissolve filler in an emergency. A practitioner should never pressure you to have more treatment, and many clinics allow a cooling-off period between consultation and treatment.
