What are Cheek fillers?

As we age, our skin loses elasticity and volume, resulting in a sagging and sunken appearance. Cheek fillers offer a non-surgical solution for people who want to enhance their cheekbones, adding volume and definition to the face. In this treatment page, we will explore the benefits, procedure, and aftercare of cheek fillers.

Cheek fillers can help to enhance the natural contour of the face, making the cheekbones appear more defined and prominent. This can result in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Cheek fillers are made from a variety of materials, including hyaluronic acid and collagen. These fillers are safe and well-tolerated by the body, with minimal risk of allergic reaction or rejection. The results of this treatment are immediate and can last for up to 18 months.

Cheek Filler Procedure

The procedure for cheek fillers typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Before the treatment, the skin is cleaned and numbed using a local anesthetic to minimise discomfort. The filler is then injected into the cheeks using a fine needle. The amount of filler used will depend on the individual’s desired outcome and the extent of the volume loss. The injection process is carefully controlled to ensure a smooth and even result. Following the injection, the area may be gently massaged to ensure that the filler is distributed evenly. Most people experience minimal downtime after the treatment and can return to their normal activities immediately.


Additional Benefits of Cheek Fillers

Cheek fillers provide volume restoration and facial contouring through non-surgical treatment. The procedure creates balanced facial proportions and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Your practitioner can address facial asymmetry for improved facial harmony.

Cheek Filler FAQs

Although every consultation is slightly different the time usually consists of you, the patient, discussing your wishes and asking questions. Una will take a look at your medical history and ask some questions while she examines the areas of concern. All treatment options will be fully explained and Una will provide you with a treatment plan. Una will be happy to answer any further questions you may have.

Having dermal fillers has been likened to going for a dentist appointment. You will feel a sharp scratch sensation. Una will use numbing cream to numb the area first if you require. Dermal filler is patiently and methodically injected into the area. The appointment will take approximately 30 minutes. You will be provided with aftercare information to help you get the best out of your dermal filler treatment.

The active ingredient in the fillers we use is hyaluronic acid. This substance occurs naturally in the body. It has a variety of uses within the body including helping with wound healing, smoothing joints, and hydration.

The length of time our fillers last for is approximately 6-9 months, depending on certain factors, including lifestyle. Patients have reported this to be longer in certain cases.

Dermal fillers are regarded as a safe treatment provided they are given by a fully accredited, experienced practitioner using safe infection control procedures and using recognised brands.

However much I would like to see you, we are an appointment only clinic. However, it might be the case that we can see you at short notice.
