Dermal Fillers
The Phi perspective is not about size. It is about the balance between features.
All dermal filler treatments at Phi Skin Clinic are performed by Dr. Kumar Shivdasani, Medical Director, known for his approach to facial sculpting and balanced, natural-looking enhancement. Treatments are planned to restore volume, refine facial contours and create a brighter, more refreshed appearance while respecting your individual anatomy.
Treatment details:
-
Dr. Kumar uses hyaluronic acid fillers to strategically restore volume, refine contours and support facial structure. By considering the underlying fat pads, bone structure and proportions of the face, treatment is designed to enhance overall balance rather than simply “fill” individual lines and folds.
Treatment areas:
Temples
Cheeks / cheekbones
Under-eye hollows
Nasolabial folds
Lips
Chin
Jawline
Marionette lines
-
Treatment length → Approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
Sensation → You may feel a brief pressure, pinching or tenderness during treatment.
Onset → Results are visible immediately, although swelling can temporarily affect the final appearance. Filler typically settles and integrates over the following 1-2 weeks.
Duration → Longevity varies depending on the product used, treatment areas and individual metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers commonly last approximately 6-18 months.

Yes, Dermal Fillers are considered safe and effective when administered by a trained medical professional. We use Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers, a substance naturally found in your skin. It is biocompatible and, importantly, reversible. In the rare event of a complication or a change in aesthetic preference, the filler can be safely dissolved.
-
The duration varies depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. Typically, hyaluronic acid fillers last between 9 to 18 month.
-
Avoid blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or ibuprofen) and supplements (like vitamin E and fish oil) for a week before the procedure to minimize bruising.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment. Inform your practitioner about any medical conditions or allergies.

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if necessary. Other types of fillers may not be as easily reversible and will need to wear off naturally.
