What you'll pay for dermal fillers
The cost of dermal fillers varies based on three main factors: which area of your face you're treating, how much product is needed, and the type of filler used. Someone treating smile lines might pay less than someone doing full-face balancing, where more product and time are involved. At Elite Aesthetics in Bathgate, current prices are on the treatments page, and pricing reflects the complexity and duration of the treatment.
Which areas cost more
Small, defined areas like the nasolabial folds (smile lines) or chin augmentation require less product and shorter appointment times. Larger treatments—such as cheek contouring or full-face structural enhancement—take longer and use more filler, so they cost more. The chin, for instance, is a smaller area that might suit a single treatment, while cheeks or a full-face balance typically involves mapping out several zones of the face.
Types of filler and their cost
Elite Aesthetics offers dermal fillers in different formulations. Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible and popular for lips and lines. Calcium hydroxyapatite is a biostimulator that can last longer and works differently in the skin, affecting the price. Skin biostimulators like collagen stimulators encourage your own skin to produce more volume over time. Each type has different longevity and cost implications, and what suits you depends on your goals and skin.
How many sessions you might need
Filler isn't always a one-time appointment. If you're new to treatment, you might start with a conservative amount and return for a top-up after two weeks to see how you heal and respond. Some people need maintenance every 9-12 months; others stretch it longer. That's why the follow-up consultation at Elite Aesthetics is free—it's a chance to assess results in your own time and decide on next steps without pressure.
The consultation makes the difference
A good clinic won't just quote you a price; they'll assess your face, listen to what you actually want, and explain why they'd recommend a certain amount or technique. Anna and the team at Elite Aesthetics are known for being clear about managing expectations and honest about what's realistic for your face shape and age. Founder Magdalena's philosophy is natural enhancement, not transformation—which often means using less product thoughtfully rather than more aggressively, and that affects both the cost and the result you'll be happy with long-term.
Medical treatment—suitability assessed at consultation
Dermal fillers are a medical procedure with real risks, including infection, vascular complications, and allergic reaction. Not everyone is suitable, and certain medications or conditions mean you'll need to wait or choose a different treatment. Your practitioner will discuss this when you book.
What to budget for aftercare
You might experience swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days. You'll be asked to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and extreme heat for 24-48 hours. This isn't a hidden cost, but it's worth factoring into your plans if you have events coming up. If you've had filler before and noticed lumps or felt the result wasn't quite right, the team at Elite Aesthetics in Bathgate can assess and, if needed, correct previous work from other clinics—that's something worth knowing when you're choosing where to go.

FAQ
What's the difference between fillers for smile lines and lip fillers?
Smile line fillers (nasolabial folds) sit deeper in the skin to lift the line itself, while lip fillers add volume and definition to the lips themselves. Smile lines typically need less product, so they cost less. Both are hyaluronic acid usually, but the technique and placement differ—your practitioner will map this out at consultation.
Can I get dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections at the same time?
Yes, many people combine them. Fillers add volume where you've lost it; anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscles that create expression lines. They work differently and can be done together, but you'll need an in-person consultation to discuss what suits your face and goals. Anti-wrinkle injections require a separate consultation.
How long do dermal fillers actually last?
Most hyaluronic acid fillers last 6-12 months, though some people metabolise them faster or slower. Biostimulators can last longer because they encourage your own collagen production. The only way to know how long filler lasts on you is to have it done and see—everyone's different.
Is there a dermal fillers clinic near Livingston as well as Bathgate?
Elite Aesthetics operates from Bathgate, West Lothian. If you're in Livingston or the surrounding area, Bathgate is accessible and worth the trip if you want experienced, honest practitioners. Book a consultation to discuss your goals and get a clear quote for your specific treatment.
What happens if I don't like the result?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible—your practitioner can dissolve them if you're unhappy. That's one reason why it's worth starting conservatively and returning for a top-up if you want more. Elite Aesthetics also corrects work done elsewhere, so if you've had fillers that don't look right, they can assess and help.
