Over the last decade, dermal fillers have been everywhere - plumper lips, sharper cheekbones, and endless before-and-after photos on social media. But as with all beauty trends, things have shifted. Today, people want treatments that enhance their natural beauty rather than change it. At Astral Skin Clinic, we couldn’t be happier about this. Natural, subtle results have always been our philosophy. We’ve never followed the overfilled look, and we continue to believe that when used carefully, subtle fillers still have an important role alongside regenerative injectables like Profhilo treatment and Sunekos injectables.


The Rise of Skin-First Treatments


More and more, patients are looking for treatments that focus on skin health, hydration, and long-term rejuvenation rather than quick fixes. Regenerative injectables such as Profhilo and Sunekos are at the heart of this new approach. These regenerative injectables don’t just sit under the skin - they encourage collagen and elastin production, improve hydration, and help your skin behave more youthfully. The result? Skin that looks naturally fresher, healthier, and more radiant.


It’s a welcome move away from the 'overdone' look of the past. With more awareness of the risks of overfilling, people are now seeking natural-looking fillers and results that age beautifully with them.

Why Fillers Still Matter


Even with this shift, dermal fillers still play a valuable role when used thoughtfully. They can restore and refine natural features in ways that skin-boosting injectables alone can’t.


For example:

  • Brightening tired eyes by softening hollows under the eyes.

  • Balancing facial proportions with gentle cheek or chin enhancement.

  • Replacing age-related volume loss while keeping everything soft and natural.


At Astral Skin Clinic, we use tweakments with a light hand. They’re not about changing your face - they’re about enhancing what you already have, in a way that looks effortless and true to you.

The Best of Both Worlds


The most exciting part of modern aesthetics is that you don’t have to choose one path. Subtle fillers and regenerative injectables actually work beautifully together. With the right balance, we can:


  • Improve skin texture and hydration with Profhilo or Sunekos.

  • Restore gentle volume with subtle filler.

  • Create natural, long-lasting results that keep your skin healthy and glowing.


This combination means you look refreshed and radiant right away, while also investing in the long-term health of your skin.


Your Personalised Plan at Astral Skin Clinic


No two faces are the same, which is why no two treatment plans should be either. At Astral Skin Clinic, based in East London, we take time to get to know you and your goals. From there, we create a bespoke plan that blends the best of regenerative injectables with carefully considered dermal fillers. Our aim is simple: to help you look like yourself - only fresher, brighter, and more confident.
