By Dr. Raja, Derma Aesthetics London
Are you looking into treatments that will improve your overall skin quality and enhance your natural beauty, but don’t know where to start?
In the search for a more youthful appearance, you may have narrowed your options down to BioFiller vs dermal fillers, but feel unsure about which treatment is right for you.
Both of these facial treatments are popular in aesthetic medicine, and for good reason.
They both can help restore lost volume and reduce wrinkles, all the while giving you a natural look.
But here’s the thing you need to know, they both work in very different ways.
Some patients want the instant volume of dermal fillers.
Whereas others prefer a more natural alternative that works with your body to improve skin health and skin quality. This is where Bio Filler shines through.
To help guide you in the right direction, we will talk you through the key differences, how they work, and which will give you the most natural results for your skin goals.
If you want to speak to us in-person, you can also book an appointment at our London clinic to get all the answers to your questions.
The Key Benefits Of Biofiller And Traditional Dermal Fillers
What is Bio Filler?
Bio Filler is a cutting edge treatment that offers patients a more natural alternative to synthetic fillers.
It is one of the hottest facial treatments in the skin regeneration category, focussing on improving skin quality over time, rather than simply adding volume to the skin.
They use a small sample of your own blood to create a natural filler known as plasma gel.
Because it uses your own blood components to support long-term skin rejuvenation, it comes with much less risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects.
How does Bio Filler work?
Your doctor will take a small sample of your own blood, from which we extract platelet rich plasma (PRP) from your own plasma.
This is gently heated in a centrifuge to develop a gel-like substance that is rich in growth factors.
We can inject Bio filler into key areas of the face including the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and under eye area.
The growth factors and platelets in your own blood help to:
· Stimulate natural collagen production
· Boost elastin production
· Support tissue regeneration
Unlike traditional fillers, which only focus on adding volume with synthetic materials, Bio Filler works with your body to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve your overall skin quality.
What results can you expect from Bio Filler?
The results from BioFiller treatment will appear gradually over time.
You may see some immediate improvements to your skin, including restored facial volume, but tissue repair and collagen synthesis takes more time.
In the first few weeks and months after Bio Filler, you will see:
· Better overall skin texture and skin quality
· More rejuvenated skin that still has a natural appearance
· Subtle enhancement to your facial features
· Firmer skin as the treatment helps to soften lines and wrinkles
· Long-term improvements in your skin health
Because Bio Filler uses your own plasma to create the filler, there is minimal downtime.
You may need more than one treatment session to see optimal results. Most patients require 2-3 treatments to achieve their aesthetic goals.
What are traditional dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments for women and men in the UK and worldwide.
They are an injectable treatment that tend to use synthetic substances to add structural volume, definition, and enhance facial contours.
At Derma Aesthetics London, we use dermal fillers that are made with hyaluronic acid (HA), which are different to other synthetic fillers. This is because they are reversible, boost hydration, and offer natural-looking results.
How do dermal fillers work?
We use a very fine needle to inject hyaluronic acid dermal fillers into specific areas of the face, including lips, cheeks, chin and jawline to add immediate volume to that area.
We will also massage the treated area to ensure the filler is evenly distributed and helps create a more natural, rejuvenated appearance.
On top of adding volume, traditional dermal fillers also:
· Help to lift sagging skin around the cheeks and jawline
· Add definition to a weak chin, thin lips, and sculpt the jaw area
· Fill temples, reduce marionette lines, and soften nasolabial folds
We often recommend traditional dermal fillers to patients who want instant, visible results.
What results can you expect from dermal fillers?
Hyaluronic acid (ha fillers) provide instant results, including:
· Immediate volume
· A more youthful appearance
· More defined facial features
· Smoother skin
· Less deep lines and wrinkles
It can take up to two weeks for the fillers to fully settle and for your final results to show.
Whereas Bio Filler results can last for a couple of years, dermal filler results tend to last from 6-18 months, as your body breaks down the synthetic substances over time.

Should I get BioFiller treatment or dermal filler treatment?
By now, you are probably realising that both Bio Filler and traditional dermal fillers offer some impressive results, but which one is right for you will depend on your desired outcome.
We recommend Bio Filler for patients seeking natural, gradual results. It is also a great option if you want to improve skin quality, boost collagen regeneration, and avoid synthetic materials.
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, provide patients with instant, visible results, restore volume in specific areas, and provide more defined results.
It is possible to have Bio Filler and dermal fillers in a combined treatment plan. This allows you to add instant volume and structure, while also focussing on long-term skin rejuvenation.
