Dermal fillers are a versatile, non-surgical solution for restoring youthful facial contours, smoothing fine lines, and enhancing features such as the lips, cheeks and under-eye area. Whether you're noticing a loss of volume, signs of fatigue, or simply want to look fresher without obvious signs of treatment, fillers offer a subtle and effective way to rejuvenate your appearance. At your consultation, Mr Shoaib will assess your facial structure and develop a personalised plan tailored to your needs — whether it's a single treatment or a gradual, staged approach to achieve long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Mr Shoaib is a leading expert in non-surgical facial rejuvenation, combining the precision of a consultant plastic surgeon with over a decade of experience in injectable treatments. As a key opinion leader for Allergan (makers of Botox® and Juvederm®), he has trained more than 2,000 healthcare professionals in both foundation and advanced techniques.

As we age, facial volume diminishes — cheeks become hollow, lips thin, and skin loses its youthful plumpness. Dermal fillers help restore that lost volume in a subtle, natural way. Many patients seek a fresh, revitalised appearance without the tell-tale signs of cosmetic work.

Mr Shoaib’s filler treatments target:

• Lips, cheeks and tear troughs
• Sunken or sagging features
• Wrinkles and fine lines (without Botox)
• Brow lifting and facial contouring
• General skin plumping and rejuvenation

Treatments can be delivered gradually over a series of visits for a more subtle transformation, or in a single session depending on your goals.

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments using hyaluronic acid (HA) — a naturally occurring substance in the skin. Mr Shoaib only uses HA-based fillers for safety, effectiveness, and reversibility. Other permanent fillers are avoided due to long-term complications.

Fillers are ideal for:

• Non-invasive facial rejuvenation
• Enhancing results after a surgical facelift
• Combining with Botox and chemical peels for a non-surgical facelift

For a more permanent solution, fat transfer may be discussed in consultation.

Using dermal fillers, Mr Shoaib can subtly enhance the shape of your nose by:

• Smoothing bumps along the bridge
• Refining tip projection
• Improving overall nasal symmetry

Note: Fillers cannot reduce nose size. If this is your goal, surgical rhinoplasty may be more suitable.

Skin Renewal and Complexion Boost

Chemical peels help shed dead skin layers to reveal fresher, younger-looking skin beneath. Depending on the depth required, peels are categorised as:

• Superficial (e.g. glycolic acid): Gentle, short recovery, ideal for a temporary refresh
• Intermediate (TCA peels 20–30%): More noticeable and lasting results; mild downtime
• Deep (laser or phenol-based): Intensive treatment for significant skin ageing or damage

Peels can improve:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage and pigmentation
• Uneven texture and dull complexion

TCA peels typically take 15 minutes in clinic and involve several days of gentle aftercare.

Wrinkle Softening Injections

Wrinkle-smoothing injections using botulinum toxin target dynamic lines — those caused by facial expressions:

• Frown lines (between brows)
• Forehead creases
• Crows’ feet
• Bunny lines (nose)

By relaxing underlying muscles, we reduce wrinkle formation while preserving facial expression. These treatments are prescription-only and administered by Mr Shoaib based on your specific needs and past treatment history.
