Dermal Fillers
Restore Face Volume & Soften Lines With Dermal Fillers at CJA Aesthetics Clinics in Portsmouth, Southampton and Winchester

As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, hollow cheeks, thinning lips and a less defined jawline.
Dermal fillers are a safe, non-surgical treatment designed to replace lost volume, improve facial structure and create a fresher, more youthful appearance while maintaining natural-looking results.
At CJA Aesthetics Clinics in Portsmouth, Winchester and Southampton, all injectable treatments are carried out by registered medical practitioner Dr Lauren Airey, who has extensive experience in advanced facial aesthetics.
Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns and create a personalised treatment plan.

Ellansé vs Teoxane Dermal Fillers
CJA Aesthetics offer Ellansé and Teoxane fillers, allowing us to choose the most suitable product for your individual concerns and desired outcome.
Teoxane fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body that attracts and retains water. They provide immediate volume and hydration and are ideal for patients who want soft, natural-looking enhancement.
Teoxane HA Fillers are best for lips, fine lines, hydration, soft contouring and reversible treatments. Results are immediate and typically last 6-18 months depending on the area treated and the product used. One of the advantages Teoxane has above Ellansé is that it can be adjusted or dissolved if necessary.
Ellansé fillers contain polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. The gel provides instant volume, while the PCL stimulates the body's own natural collagen production over time.
Ellansé is particularly effective for longer-lasting facial rejuvenation, volume restoration, cheeks, jawline and chin enhancement. Again, the results qare immediate and you will see ongoing collagen stimulation. The effects last 1-4 years depending on the product used and area treated.

Facial Contouring & Jawline Enhancement
Loss of facial volume can create a hollowed appearance, jowls and reduced jawline definition. By restoring volume to the cheeks, cheekbones, chin and jawline, dermal fillers can create:
- Better cheekbone definition
- A more sculpted jawline
- Improved chin projection
- Reduced appearance of jowls
- A subtle lifting effect through structural support
Both Teoxane and Ellansé can be used for facial contouring, with Ellansé often preferred where stronger structural support and longer-lasting results are desired.


Lip Fillers
Whether your lips have become thinner and less defined with age or you have always wanted a little more shape and volume, our lip fillers can create beautifully balanced, natural-looking lips.
We focus on enhancing your existing lip shape rather than creating an exaggerated appearance so you can enjoy:
- Subtle, natural-looking volume
- Improved lip definition and symmetry
- Enhanced cupid's bow
- Lifted corners of the mouth
- Softened vertical lip lines
The final result is soft, hydrated, naturally fuller lips that complement your facial features.
Improve Nose Shape with Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Using carefully placed dermal filler, we can reshape and refine the appearance of the nose without surgery. This treatment is ideal for smoothing bumps, improving the profile and creating better facial harmony.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty cannot make the nose smaller, but it can produce a significant cosmetic improvement with minimal downtime and immediate results.
The procedure is particularly suitable for patients who have a small dorsal hump, a drooping nasal tip, minor asymmetry or an uneven profile.
Treatment usually takes around 30 minutes, and most people can return to their normal activities straight away.
Results are visible immediately and can last 9-18 months, making non-surgical rhinoplasty an excellent option for those seeking a subtle yet effective enhancement without the risks, recovery time or expense of traditional surgical rhinoplasty.
