The world of aesthetic medicine is evolving faster than ever, with cutting-edge treatments taking centre stage in skin clinics worldwide. As exciting new options emerge, it’s easy to assume that popular aesthetic treatments such as dermal fillers are becoming left behind. Social media trends and influencer campaigns often highlight the latest breakthroughs, especially regenerative treatments like Profhilo, which are making headlines for their ability to boost collagen and dramatically improve skin quality. But while innovation is crucial, not every new trend replaces what came before. At Lumière MediSpa in Oxford, we believe in a balanced, evidence-based approach to facial rejuvenation. Dermal fillers remain a powerful and effective tool in achieving natural, youthful results. So, is it time to say goodbye to fillers? Absolutely not! and here’s why they still deserve a place in your aesthetic journey.
The Rise of Regenerative Aesthetics
There’s no denying that regenerative treatments like Profhilo, Profhilo Structura, and Polynucleotides have transformed the way we think about ageing. Profhilo stimulates collagen and elastin for natural rejuvenation, which improves skin quality and hydration. Profhilo Structura targets the deeper layers of the skin to restore volume and structure, assist in regenerating facial fat and contours, and stimulate collagen for a firmer, more supported appearance. Polynucleotides repair and regenerate the skin at a cellular level, boosting collagen production and improving elasticity, texture, and overall skin health.
Patients are now increasingly seeking skin-improving results, rather than just volume correction which is a positive step. The industry is shifting towards supporting the skin’s health and delivering natural results, rather than simply masking the signs of ageing.
But as exciting as these advances are, they don’t replace everything we already know works. Regenerative treatments are a powerful complement to dermal fillers, not a replacement.
Why We Still Love Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers have an incredibly important role when used precisely. In the past Dermal fillers had received a slight negative stigma from many due to the treatment not being as regulated which has unfortunately led to quite a few “botch jobs”. What can also affect the result of dermal fillers also depends on the type of filler used, for example Restylane and Revolax tend to be more particulate and bumpy in the skin. Compared to Aliaxin and Teosyl RHA that provide smoother and more flexible results.
With today’s advanced understanding of facial anatomy and the ageing process, we know exactly how volume loss occurs, from bone and fat to soft tissue. Fillers remain the gold standard for restoring this lost volume in specific areas such as the midface, temples, chin, and jawline. It’s not about creating overfilled or unnatural results. At Lumière Medispa Oxford, it’s about using the right treatment, in the right place, for the right reason and dermal fillers still do that beautifully when indicated.
Following Evidence… Not Trends
Trends may grab attention on social media, but not all that’s popular is proven or safe. In fact, many beauty fads lack scientific backing and can even pose risks to your health. That’s why it's so important to choose treatments and products that are supported by clinical evidence and to receive them from qualified professionals in a medical-led setting.
At Lumière MediSpa, we don’t chase trends. Our priority is safety, results, and evidence-based care. Whether it’s Profhilo, dermal fillers, microneedling, or laser treatments, every service we offer has been carefully selected for its proven efficacy and safety profile. Our team is deeply committed to ongoing education. From advanced anatomy training to staying up to date with the latest research on facial ageing, we continually invest in knowledge so we can offer treatments that genuinely make a difference and not just follow what’s trending.
The Future is Integrated
The future of aesthetic medicine isn’t about abandoning one treatment for another, it's about embracing a truly integrated approach. As our understanding of facial ageing evolves, it’s clear that no single treatment can address all the complex layers involved. Skin quality, volume loss, structural support, and even muscle dynamics all play a role in how we age and how we can age well.
Rather than relying solely on structural interventions, modern aesthetic medicine is moving towards a tailored, multi-layered approach. By combining regenerative treatments such as Profhilo, Profhilo Structura or Polynucleotides that improve skin health, hydration and cellular function, with the strategic use of dermal fillers for contour, volume, and support. Practitioners can achieve results that are not only more natural in appearance, but also more durable over time.
This integration respects the individuality of each patient’s ageing process. It allows clinicians to work holistically, enhancing the skin from within while subtly restoring facial harmony and youthful proportions. Ultimately, an integrated approach leads to results that don’t just look good, they feel authentic, age gracefully, and support long-term skin health.

So no, it’s not the end of dermal fillers. It’s the start of a more intelligent approach to ageing. One that blends the best of regenerative medicine with trusted techniques like volume restoration. At Lumière Medispa Oxford, we’re proud to lead with expertise, and safety.
