DERMAL Fillers
Mac Aesthetics & Laser Clinic offers a wide range of dermal filler treatments designed to enhance facial features, restore lost volume and improve facial balance. Every treatment is tailored to the individual following a detailed consultation and suitability assessment.
Lip Fillers
Our lip filler treatments consider shape, volume, definition, projection and symmetry to create results that complement your natural features. Whether you prefer subtle enhancement, added definition or a more structured technique such as Russian or Doll Lips, your treatment will be personalised to your desired outcome and facial proportions.
Upper and Lower Face Fillers
Dermal fillers can be used to soften the appearance of nasolabial folds, marionette lines and perioral lines, often called smokers’ lines. Treatment may also help restore volume and provide additional support to the surrounding facial tissues, creating a fresher and more balanced appearance.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses carefully placed dermal filler to improve the appearance and balance of the nose. Depending on individual anatomy, it may help disguise small humps, improve symmetry, refine the profile or create the appearance of a more defined nasal bridge or tip.
This is a minimally invasive treatment and is subject to a detailed consultation and suitability assessment.
Tear Trough Fillers
Tear trough filler may help improve suitable cases of under-eye hollowing and reduce the appearance of shadows or tired-looking eyes. Where clinically appropriate, a blunt-tipped cannula may be used to minimise tissue trauma and support precise product placement.
The under-eye area is anatomically complex, and not everyone will be suitable for this treatment. A full assessment is therefore essential.
Jawline Contouring
Dermal filler can be carefully placed to enhance jawline definition, improve facial balance and create a more structured lower-face profile. Treatment plans are tailored to suit both softer, natural-looking enhancement and a more defined appearance.
Facial Contouring
Our facial-contouring treatments use a personalised combination of dermal fillers to improve facial proportions, replace lost volume and enhance overall structure. Treatment may include areas such as the cheeks, chin and jawline.
Both needle and cannula techniques may be used where appropriate. Results can range from subtle and refreshed to a more sculpted or “snatched” appearance, depending on your anatomy, preferences and agreed treatment plan.
At Mac Aesthetics & Laser Clinic, every dermal filler treatment is approached with careful attention to facial anatomy, balance and proportion. Our aim is to enhance your natural features while creating results that remain harmonious with your overall appearance.
All treatments are subject to consultation, medical history review and suitability assessment. Results, recovery time and longevity vary between individuals.

Discomfort varies between individuals and may depend on the area being treated. Many fillers contain a local anaesthetic, and numbing cream may be applied when appropriate
Appointments typically take 30–60 minutes, although this varies according to the treatment area and individual treatment plan. This includes treatment and aftercare advice; additional consultation time may be required.
An initial change is often visible immediately, although swelling may temporarily affect the appearance. Results are normally reviewed after the area has settled, usually at approximately two weeks.
Results commonly last between 6 and 18 months, but this is not guaranteed. Longevity varies according to the product used, treatment area, amount placed, metabolism and lifestyle.
Temporary swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness are common. Many clients return to their usual activities shortly after treatment, although visible swelling or bruising can last longer and recovery varies.
Follow the aftercare instructions provided for your treatment. You will normally be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, excessive heat, sunbeds, facial treatments and unnecessary pressure on the treated area for the recommended period.
Possible side effects include swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness. Less common complications can include infection, persistent lumps or nodules, asymmetry, migration, delayed inflammatory reactions and vascular occlusion.
Vascular occlusion is a rare but serious complication. Contact the clinic immediately if you experience severe or increasing pain, pale, mottled or unusually discoloured skin, blistering, or skin that feels unusually cool. Any visual disturbance, eye pain or sudden neurological symptoms require urgent emergency medical attention; call 999
Hyaluronic acid filler can usually be dissolved using hyaluronidase when clinically appropriate. Dissolving is a separate procedure with its own risks, including allergic reaction, and may require more than one treatment. A separate assessment and consent process are required.
Dermal filler treatment is not offered during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Treatment may also need to be postponed if you have an active infection, cold sore, dental infection or recent dental treatment. Certain medical conditions, medicines and allergies may affect suitability, so your medical history will be assessed before treatment.
Mac Aesthetics & Laser Clinic does not provide dermal filler treatment to anyone under 18.
Mac Aesthetics & Laser Clinic is an award-winning, RQIA Registered Aesthetic Clinic in Newtownabbey. Every treatment is individually planned with an emphasis on client safety, informed consent, facial balance and natural-looking results.
