Dermal filler treatment in Manchester is available at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, in the city centre, where it is provided by CLNQ’s non-surgical doctors rather than by Mr Reza Nassab; consultations are also offered in Knutsford. Hyaluronic acid filler can restore lost volume, support the cheeks, soften folds and define the lips, chin or jawline. Every treatment begins with a medical assessment, and filler is only provided to adults aged 18 and over.
What dermal fillers can do
- Cheeks: restoring support over the cheekbone to refresh the mid-face.
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines: softening creases around the mouth, often by supporting the cheek.
- Lips: adding subtle definition or volume while keeping natural proportions.
- Chin and jawline: improving balance in the profile and definition along the jaw.
- Temples and under-eye hollows: carefully selected treatment for volume loss.
Fillers are temporary. Most commonly used products are made of hyaluronic acid, which the body gradually breaks down and which can usually be dissolved if needed.
A medically led approach
Filler is a medical procedure, even though it is performed in a clinic rather than an operating theatre. Understanding the blood vessels and structures of the face is essential for safety, and knowing when surgery would be a better option is part of good advice. At CLNQ, filler is provided by the clinic’s non-surgical doctors. Mr Nassab does not inject fillers himself, but as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon he can advise when surgery such as a facelift may suit you better, so that you are not steered towards one treatment by default.
Your consultation in Manchester
Filler consultations with one of CLNQ’s non-surgical doctors take place at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, Manchester, and at CLNQ in Knutsford. You will be asked about your medical history, medication, allergies, previous treatments and what you would like to change. Your face will be assessed at rest and in movement, and photographs are taken for your records. You will be given an honest view of what filler can achieve, the likely amount needed, the risks and the aftercare. You are encouraged to take time to think before going ahead.
Treatment day
Treatment is performed at the clinic by one of CLNQ’s non-surgical doctors under a topical or local anaesthetic, and many fillers also contain a local anaesthetic to improve comfort. The skin is cleansed, and filler is placed with a fine needle or blunt cannula in small amounts. A typical appointment takes under an hour. You can usually return to work straight afterwards, although some people prefer to avoid important events for a few days in case of bruising.
Aftercare and follow-up
Mild swelling, tenderness and bruising are common for a few days. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas and pressing on the treated area for the first day or two. A review appointment in Manchester is usually offered after two weeks, once swelling has settled, to check the result. Contact the clinic immediately if you notice severe pain or pale, dusky or mottled skin near the treated area, as these can be signs of a blocked blood vessel that needs urgent treatment. Any change in vision needs a 999 call or immediate A&E attendance. Fever or spreading redness should be reported the same day.
Patients from across the North West
Many patients travel to Deansgate Square from across Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire and further afield in the North West. Because filler involves minimal downtime, most people travel home on the same day. If you need facial surgery in the future, operations take place at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, where Mr Nassab can take over your care. Consultations in Knutsford can also suit patients living closer to Cheshire.
Cost
Dermal filler treatment is quoted at consultation, as the price depends on the number of areas and the amount of product needed. A surgical consultation with Mr Nassab costs £150, charged separately. Prices for surgical treatments are available on the prices page, and a facelift costs from £14,500.
