Cheek dermal fillers in London have become an increasingly popular cosmetic treatment in recent years for enhancing and reshaping the cheeks. This guide covers everything you need to know about cheek fillers London.
What are Cheek Fillers?
Cheek and dermal fillers London are injectable gel implants that add volume to the cheek area. They are a minimally invasive treatment made up of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. When injected into the cheeks by a trained professional from the Hampstead Aesthetics Clinic, fillers can give a plumper, more defined look to the midface. Results are visible immediately and last anywhere from 6 months up to 2 years – the STYLAGE range lasts from 9-18 months.
Benefits of Cheek Fillers
There are several benefits to using cheek dermal fillers for the cheeks:
Restore lost volume - As we age, the cheeks naturally lose fat and collagen leading to a sunken, hollow look. Fillers help restore a more youthful plumpness.
Lift sagging skin - By adding volume underneath the skin, fillers lift and contour the cheek area for a more defined shape. This can minimise the effects of jowls and nasolabial folds.
Balance facial proportions - If one cheek is flatter than the other, fillers can even out the asymmetry.
Minimal downtime - There is very little recovery time needed after the quick treatment session. Patients can resume normal activities right away with only mild swelling and bruising.
Non-surgical - As a non-invasive injectable treatment, cheek fillers pose less risk than a surgical facelift. Effects are temporary and can be reversed.
Procedures and What to Expect
Cheek filler procedures are carried out at cosmetic clinics like ours and also medispas. The process takes less than 30 minutes to complete:
Numbing cream is applied to maximise comfort.
The injection sites on the cheeks are marked and thoroughly cleansed. Â
Using a very fine needle, the dermal filler gel is injected in small amounts into the deep mid layers of the skin.
Multiple injection points are made to ensure even distribution and a smooth look. Â
Ice packs are used after to reduce swelling and tenderness.
Results are visible right away, further improving over the next few days as swelling goes down.
Most patients require one syringe of filler per cheek.
Expect to return every 6-12 months for maintenance injections to sustain results.
It is normal to experience some mild side effects like redness, bruising and tenderness for a few days after treatment. More serious side effects like infection are very rare when proper procedures are followed. Speak to your practitioner about any concerns beforehand.
