Dermal fillers

Treatment overview

With time, the face doesn’t only lose elasticity — it loses volume too. The cheeks become less defined, the lines around the nose and mouth more pronounced, and the whole face can look more tired even when you feel well.

Dermal fillers are a sophisticated, medically controlled way of restoring lost facial volume and harmony — without surgery and without compromising your natural appearance.

They are products based on hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the skin and responsible for hydration and fullness. By administering filler we don’t “add something foreign” — we restore what the skin has lost over time.

What makes fillers exceptionally powerful isn’t just smoothing wrinkles, but their ability to shape the face — enhancing the cheekbones, defining the jawline, easing under-eye hollows and bringing freshness back to the expression.

Notably, the modern approach to fillers is no longer focused on individual wrinkles, but on the overall structure of the face. That’s exactly why results today look more natural than ever before.

What patients often feel but rarely say out loud is the moment they look at a photograph or catch themselves from a different angle — and feel that their face no longer reflects how they feel inside.

Dermal fillers make their difference exactly there — they don’t change who you are; they restore the version of your face that is familiar and feels like you.

Which filler is right for you?

In aesthetic dermatology there is no universally “best” filler — there is the one that has been precisely chosen for your face, your skin and the result you want to achieve.

All the fillers we use at our clinic meet the highest medical standards of safety and quality. The difference isn’t which one is “better”, but when and why we use a particular filler.

Each filler has its specific role:

  • some are ideal for volume and structure
  • some for natural expression and flexibility
  • some for long-term skin regeneration

That’s exactly why an individual assessment is the key to a top-tier result — and the reason the outcome looks natural rather than “done”.

At Poliklinika Jakić we use premium products manufactured to the highest medical standards, based on hyaluronic acid and with proven efficacy and safety backed by extensive clinical research.

Brands such as Teosyal, Neauvia, Ellansé and Restylane are hyaluronic-acid fillers developed under the strictest medical regulation in European centres of excellence (Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands, etc.).


How the treatment is performed

The treatment is carried out by injecting filler into precisely defined regions of the face.

During the procedure:

  • the structure and proportions of the face are assessed
  • the exact injection points are determined
  • an appropriate amount of product is administered

Very fine needles or cannulas are used, with maximum precision and control.


Who the treatment is for

The treatment is ideal for people who:

  • notice loss of volume in the face
  • have pronounced nasolabial folds or under-eye hollows
  • want to enhance facial contours (cheekbones, jawline)
  • want a natural, fresh look without surgery

It is also suitable for those who want to act preventively against the signs of ageing.


Our approach

With dermal fillers, the most important question isn’t “how much” — it’s “where and why”.

At our clinic the treatment is performed by dermatology specialists who approach the face as a whole, not as a collection of isolated zones.

We don’t overdo it.

Our goal is not to change the face — it’s to bring it back into balance. That’s why we plan treatment carefully, taking into account proportion, dynamics and natural expression.

We take the time to understand what you want — and to explain what is realistic and optimal.

After the treatment, patients often don’t see a “big change” — but they notice they look more rested, fresher and more pleased with how they look.


Preparing for the treatment

Before the treatment, we recommend:

  • avoiding alcohol and certain medications (as advised by your doctor)
  • arriving with clean skin
  • letting your doctor know about any medication you’re taking

A topical anaesthetic cream may be used where needed.


Recovery and precautions

Recovery is minimal.

After the treatment:

  • mild swelling or bruising may occur
  • you can return to everyday activities very quickly

Recommendations:

  • avoid putting pressure on the treated area
  • avoid intense physical activity on the same day
  • follow your doctor’s aftercare instructions

When results become visible

Results are visible immediately after the treatment.

The final result settles over a few days.

Outcome:

  • restored volume
  • smoothed lines
  • a natural, fresh look

Treatment combinations

For a complete anti-ageing result, fillers are often combined with treatments that act on skin quality:

  • Candela Nordlys — for evening out skin tone and improving skin quality
  • CO2 Smaxel — for regeneration and texture
  • Morpheus8 — for tightening and collagen stimulation
  • HIFU — for lifting deeper structures
  • Icoone Laser Med — for microcirculation and regeneration

Additionally:

  • Botox for expression lines
  • biostimulating treatments

Combinations are planned individually — because volume and skin quality go hand in hand.

    Frequently asked questions

    Here you’ll find answers to the questions our clients most often ask about our services and treatments.

    + Will I look unnatural or “overdone”?
    No — when fillers are used with restraint and a thorough understanding of anatomy, the result is discreet and natural. Our approach is built on preserving your individuality, not changing it.
    + Which fillers do you use, and why?
    We use leading global brands such as Restylane, Teosyal and Neauvia, chosen depending on the area being treated and the result you want. The right product choice makes a significant difference to the quality of the result.
    + Are fillers safe?
    Yes — they are biocompatible materials that are naturally broken down by the body, with a high level of safety when administered by an experienced practitioner.
    + When are results visible?
    The result is visible immediately, with further refinement over a few days as the tissue settles fully.
    + How long does the effect last?
    On average between 6 and 18 months, depending on the type of filler and the area treated.
    + Can the result be adjusted if I’m not happy?
    Yes — hyaluronic-acid fillers can be adjusted or dissolved if needed, which gives patients additional peace of mind.
    + What really makes the difference in the result?
    Not just the product, but the doctor’s experience, technique and sense of proportion — that’s where the difference between a good result and a truly excellent one is made.
