Dermal fillers are one of the most trusted and effective ways to restore facial volume, soften lines, and enhance natural contours — all without surgery. At Andrea Harris Aesthetics in Christchurch, dermal fillers are performed with precision and care by an award-winning Nurse Specialist with over 20 years of clinical experience.
Our approach focuses on safety, subtlety, and natural results — ensuring you look refreshed, not “done.”
Dermal fillers are injectable gels designed to add or restore volume beneath the skin. The most commonly used products are made from hyaluronic acid (HA) — a substance naturally present in the body that helps maintain hydration, elasticity, and firmness.
As we age, our natural hyaluronic acid levels decline, leading to volume loss, fine lines, and a less defined facial structure. Dermal fillers help reverse these changes by gently replenishing volume and supporting smoother, more youthful contours.
Popular treatment areas include:
Every filler treatment at Andrea Harris Aesthetics is tailored to your facial structure and goals — delivering natural-looking, balanced results that complement your individual features.
When injected beneath the skin, dermal fillers bind with water molecules to provide immediate, visible volume. The result is smoother skin and more defined contours that can last from 6 to 18 months, depending on the product type, area treated, and your metabolism.
Because hyaluronic acid is biocompatible, it integrates seamlessly with surrounding tissue and gradually breaks down over time. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain results and support long-term facial harmony.
Dermal fillers offer a safe, effective, and flexible way to rejuvenate facial appearance without surgery. Key benefits include:
You’ll see improvement straight after treatment, with final results visible once any minor swelling settles — usually within a few days.
Depending on the filler used, results typically last 6–18 months. Hyaluronic acid fillers can also be dissolved if adjustments are ever needed, offering additional peace of mind.
Treatment takes 30–60 minutes, requires no general anaesthetic, and has little downtime. Most clients resume normal activities immediately after their appointment.
Our philosophy is simple: less is more. Dermal fillers should enhance your features — not change them. At Andrea Harris Aesthetics, the focus is always on natural results fillers that leave you looking refreshed, not altered.
When facial balance is restored and lines are softened, many clients feel more confident, both personally and professionally.
Each dermal filler treatment begins with a detailed consultation. Andrea assesses your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and explains the treatment process so you can make an informed decision.
A topical anaesthetic may be applied for comfort. The filler is then precisely placed using a fine needle or micro-cannula to ensure accuracy and minimise bruising. The entire process is typically completed in under an hour.
You may experience mild redness or swelling for one or two days, which settles quickly. Andrea provides tailored aftercare instructions, including guidance on skincare and sun protection to support optimal healing.
When researching dermal fillers Christchurch, look for a qualified medical practitioner who prioritises safety, transparency, and natural results.
Truly effective filler treatments are not about transformation — they’re about refinement. Andrea’s approach is to enhance your natural features, restore youthful volume, and create balance without compromising expression.
Aesthetic artistry lies in restraint. Every injection point is chosen with precision to ensure smooth transitions between treated and untreated areas, avoiding the exaggerated or “filled” appearance sometimes seen elsewhere.
Our aim: you, only fresher.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary because the body gradually metabolises the gel. Many clients choose to have a review or maintenance treatment approximately once a year to sustain their desired result.
Healthy lifestyle habits — including good hydration, sun protection, and high-quality skincare — can extend the life of your fillers and support overall skin vitality.
Although dermal fillers are considered minimally invasive, they are still a medical procedure. For this reason, they should only be administered by a trained, qualified health professional.
At Andrea Harris Aesthetics, every procedure follows strict clinical protocols. Andrea’s nursing background ensures meticulous hygiene, anatomical understanding, and the ability to manage complications should they arise.
Our clinic uses only reputable, Medsafe-approved dermal filler brands sourced through legitimate medical distributors.
Most clients experience minimal discomfort thanks to topical anaesthetic and the inclusion of lidocaine (a numbing agent) in many filler formulations.
Longevity varies by area treated and product type but generally ranges from 6 to 18 months. Andrea will discuss expected duration during your consultation.
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be safely dissolved using a specialised enzyme (hyaluronidase) if necessary.
Results are visible immediately, though minor swelling can take a few days to settle fully.
Downtime is minimal. Most people return to normal activities straight away, although it’s best to avoid intense exercise or heat exposure for 24 hours post-treatment.
For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, dermal fillers are often complemented by other non-surgical options, such as:
Andrea designs each treatment plan holistically — prioritising both aesthetic outcome and long-term skin health.
Selecting the right injector is critical. In New Zealand, only trained medical professionals are authorised to administer prescription products such as botulinum toxin and dermal fillers.
Andrea’s dual background in nursing and aesthetic medicine ensures clients receive the highest standard of clinical care with a focus on ethical practice and patient safety.
