Cheek Filler
Cheek Filler
Cheek filler, a popular and minimally invasive procedure, rejuvenates facial volume and contours with precision. Using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, your provider will skillfully inject small amounts into targeted areas of the cheeks. These injections, tailored to depth and placement, work to restore volume, shape, and plumpness, achieving subtle yet noticeable enhancements to facial appearance.
Ideal for those seeking to replenish lost volume or enhance facial features, cheek filler not only imparts a youthful fullness but also contributes to facial symmetry. Results typically endure for up to 12 months, prompting potential for periodic maintenance to sustain the desired outcome.
What's the anticipated number of sessions required?
The number of sessions needed can vary depending on each person's specific needs and desires. Generally, achieving the desired results may only require one session of filler. However, for more significant or longer-lasting effects, multiple sessions may be necessary. It's important to note that some individuals may require more than one session to achieve their desired outcome.
What can you anticipate following your treatment?
Following cheek filler treatment, anticipate a boost in volume and definition in the mid-facial area. You'll start noticing subtle changes in your profile and contours shortly after the procedure. Any temporary redness typically fades within a few hours, allowing you to resume normal activities promptly. While initial results may be immediate, it can take one to two weeks for them to fully settle into your facial contours, influenced by the type of filler used and your body's healing process. Expect ongoing improvements and sustained volume over the next several months, with results lasting up to twelve months and beyond.
Post-treatment Guidelines:
To ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery, it's crucial to follow these post-care instructions:
● Exercise Caution: Refrain from engaging in vigorous exercise or high-impact activities for the first 24 hours following your procedure. This helps ensure optimal healing.
● Medication Management: Avoid anti-inflammatory medications, including ibuprofen or aspirin, for the initial 48 hours post-treatment. This aids in reducing the risk of complications.
● Gentle Handling: Resist the urge to touch, massage, or apply pressure to the treated area immediately after the procedure. This promotes proper settling and effectiveness of the treatment.
● Sleeping Position: For at least one week, avoid sleeping on your face to prevent undue pressure on the treated area, aiding in its proper integration.
● Sun Protection: Steer clear of sun exposure and tanning for a minimum of two weeks post-treatment. This safeguards against potential complications and ensures optimal results.
● Swelling Relief: Employ a cold compress to alleviate any swelling or discomfort in the treated area, fostering a more comfortable recovery experience.
● Facial Treatment Avoidance: Refrain from undergoing any facial treatments such as waxing, facials, or laser treatments for a period of four weeks post-treatment to allow for optimal healing and efficacy of the procedure.
● Sunscreen Usage: Utilize sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 40 or higher when venturing outdoors to shield the treated area from harmful UV rays, aiding in long-term preservation of results.
● Sleeping Positioning: Maintain a slightly elevated head position while sleeping to minimize swelling and promote proper healing.
● Alcohol Abstinence: Avoid consuming alcohol for the initial 24 hours post-treatment to support a smooth and uncomplicated recovery process.
