Cheek filler treatment in Hertfordshire

Cheek filler is a non surgical cosmetic treatment where hyaluronic acid dermal filler is injected into the midface area or along the cheekbone, to restore lack of volume, enhance upper face contour, and to refresh and rejuvenate facial shape. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body and it helps to maintain skin hydration and volume.

As we age, the fat pads in our faces separate and shift downward, and skin loses elasticity. This leads to sagging in the midface and the development of jowls and deeper nasolabial folds.  By restoring volume to the cheeks, cheek filler can give a lifting effect, reduce the look of sagging skin and soften lines from the nose to mouth, and also improve the under eye area without the need for tear trough filler.

Benefits of hyaluronic acid fillers and cheek filler treatment

• Natural results as the HA fillers integrate smoothly into the skin, giving a natural look and feel.
• HA attracts and retains moisture, which improves skin hydration and texture.
• HA fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. The treatment is reversible in case you don’t like it or there are any complications.
• Results of cheek filler last around 18 months, so the treatment is long lasting and doesn’t have to be repeated often.
• Cheek filler in the apple of the cheek can partially improve the under eye area, and at the same time give lift to the lower face parts.

 

Who is a good candidate for cheek filler?

• Someone with mild to moderate facial volume loss or sagging.
• Someone who’d like to add some contour and shape to the upper and mid face, and create a delicate lift to the lower face.
• Person with realistic expectations about the treatment outcomes.

Cheek filler treatment is not recommended for people with significant skin laxity, as they may require surgical procedures, such as a facelift, to get desired results.

 

How long do cheek fillers last?

Results from hyaluronic acid cheek fillers last 18 months, but may last as long as 24 months.

 

Are there any side effects?

Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site.  These usually resolve within a few days but may last up to 2 weeks.

 

Treatment duration and recovery

Cheek filler treatment usually takes about 30 minutes. Some improvement is visible immediately, with full results seen at around two weeks later when the swelling subsides and the filler settles. There’s minimal downtime and you can go back to your daily routine straight away.

 

How to prepare for the treatment?

• Tell us all you are expecting from the treatment and what results you would like to achieve.
• Avoid blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for 3 days before the treatment.
• Don’t drink alcohol for 2-3 days before.

 

Aftercare

• Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 48 hours.
• Postpone any exercise for a for a few days after the treatment to minimise swelling, bruising and to avoid infections.
• Try to sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first few nights to prevent pressure on the treated area.
• Do not get any facial treatments, waxing, or other skin procedures near the treatment area for at least two weeks.

 

Will the treatment make my face look unnatural?

Cheek fillers give natural results that enhance facial contours without looking overdone. We never use more than 0.5-1ml per side in one sitting, and review the results first at a review appointment before adding any more filler.

 

Can the filler be removed if I don’t like it?

Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase.

 

How soon can I return to normal activities?

You can resume normal activities straight away, but we advise to avoid exercise, wearing makeup and heat exposure for 24 to 48 hours.
