How is the price calculated?

You pay per milliliter of hyaluronic acid injected during your appointment.

How long do fillers last?

Around a year on the lips, as the filler is gradually absorbed. We only top up once it has been absorbed, not before: repeat injections too close together make the results wear off sooner.

Will there be bruising?

Yes, any filler injection can leave a bruise. On the folds, we use a cannula, which lowers this risk.

Does this treatment cover the nose?

No. This treatment focuses on the folds, cheeks and lips. We treat the nose separately with non-surgical rhinoplasty: injections that reshape the nose without surgery.

Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers restore volume where the face has lost it, such as the cheeks, facial folds and lips, with no surgery. Dr. Jesús Lago carries out the injections at Clínica 3 de Mayo in Madrid, for patients from the UK, Ireland and beyond.

Price: €250 / ml
Hospital stay: Same-day discharge
Recovery: 3 to 4 days

How Treatment Works

We use a hyaluronic acid filler that your body gradually absorbs over time. We treat folds with a cannula rather than a needle: it is more precise and bruising is much less common, especially along the fold running from the nose down toward the cheek. On the cheeks and under the eyes, we inject small amounts just beneath the skin to restore volume where the face has lost fat, without looking puffy. On the lips, results last around a year.

Duration: Depends on volume
Approach: Injection
Anesthesia: Local
