Dermal fillers consist of a gel composed of naturally existing substances found in your skin. Certified practitioners use this gel to restore volume to the skin and enhance specific facial features. When considering the advantages of dermal cheek augmentation, it’s important to highlight that this treatment offers a minimally invasive, fast and straightforward procedure, restoring plumpness to the cheeks with limited downtime and discomfort. Moreover, it provides an “instant liquid facelift” effect, with results lasting between 18 to 24 months.
Firstly, our certified practitioners will apply a numbing anesthetic cream to the treatment area before administering cheek filler injections. This ensures the procedure is as painless and comfortable as possible for our patients. The dermal fillers will then be skillfully injected into the cheek skin using a fine needle placed just beneath the skin’s surface, resulting in immediate fullness.
Typically, this procedure lasts approximately 30 minutes and is associated with minimal discomfort due to the anesthetic cream’s pain-reducing effects. It’s common to experience mild swelling and minor bruising immediately after cheek injections; however, these effects should resolve within 48 hours. Dermal cheek fillers do not require downtime, allowing patients to resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure.
