Dermal filler treatments are offered by our experienced medical doctors across Cape Town, at our established aesthetic clinics in Green Point, Tyger Valley, and Somerset West. We use Restylane, a premium range of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers that restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. These versatile fillers can be used for everything from lip enhancement to restoring volume in the cheeks, providing natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance natural facial contours. At Natural Aesthetics, we make use of hyaluronic acid fillers, which contain a substance naturally found in the skin that attracts and retains moisture, keeping the skin firm and hydrated.
Once carefully injected beneath the skin, the filler adds structure and support to areas that have lost elasticity or fullness due to ageing. It blends seamlessly with the surrounding tissue, creating natural-looking definition and lift. Results are visible immediately after treatment, with minimal downtime.
At Natural Aesthetics, we exclusively use Restylane fillers, an award-winning, trusted, and globally recognised range of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Developed with advanced NASHA and OBT technologies, Restylane fillers are designed to integrate naturally with the skin’s tissue, delivering smooth, natural-looking, and long-lasting results.
These fillers address a wide range of concerns, from restoring facial volume and enhancing cheek contours to softening lines around the mouth and rejuvenating the lips. Restylane offers specially formulated options to target specific areas such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, cheeks, jawline, chin, under-eye volume loss, and lips.

Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions about Restylane dermal filler treatments. If you have any other questions or would like personalised guidance, please consult with one of our medical doctors.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that can help to diminish the appearance of wrinkles while restoring volume and fullness in the face and hands, or to re-shape features to meet aesthetic goals, such as achieving a fuller lip or correcting the appearance of a recessed chin.
There are several types of dermal fillers, one being hyaluronic acid (HA). All Restylane fillers use HA gel technology made of transparent hyaluronic acids, which are sugars naturally found in the skin that help provide hydration, fullness, and elasticity.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps provide hydration, fullness, and elasticity. It diminishes as we age, causing skin to lose volume while increasing the chances for wrinkles and folds to appear.
