How much product (ml) you require varies person by person. Generally, to achieve a noticeable but natural difference we would recommend starting with 2ml, which is split to 1ml each side. During your appointment, our Aesthetics Practitioner will analyse your features and advise the required product (ml) to use to achieve the results you want and to best suit your face shape.

Dermal fillers can always be ‘layered’ over time to achieve your desired look. You can always increase the amount of product (ml) on the day of your treatment, if feel you require more.

A cheek enhancement is suitable for anyone over 18, who wishes to improve the appearance of their bone structure or for those who have lost mid-face volume due to ageing. This procedure is highly effective for defining the contours of the cheeks, correcting volume loss and softening the look of deep creases that develop from this volume loss, such as the nasolabial folds.

Younger clientele who have not yet lost mid-face volume, but want to enhance their cheeks due to their genetic bone structure, can use cheek fillers to contour and slim the face. With mature clients, the curvature that was once present in the cheeks begin to flatten, fillers can be used to restore the shape in this area, bringing a soft youthful look to the face.

A cheek enhancement offers many benefits, depending on your age and the overall areas of your face you are looking to improve. A great benefit of this procedure is that by adding volume to lift the cheeks, this reveals a natural shadow along the cheekbones. Bringing a contoured and slimmer look to the face.

A topical anaesthetic will be applied to numb the treatment area to ensure the procedure is comfortable, you’ll feel a little prick and slight pressure. The filler itself also contains Lidocaine, a numbing agent, to help minimise discomfort.

Post-filler bruising and inflammation are a common side effect, but this subsides after three to seven days. Makeup can be applied to the area 6 hours after the procedure to cover any bruising. In rare occasions infection can occur, however this is greatly reduced if the correct post-treatment and aftercare advice have been adhered to, which you will receive on the day of your treatment.

See ‘How do I prepare for my appointment?’ to view our recommendations in order to minimise side effects.

Fillers are small injections of a liquid, gel-like substance that is ideal for filling in creases and lines, plumping up the lips or cheeks and enhancing facial contours. They are also able to improve the appearance of aging, wrinkling or sagging skin.

The fillers we use are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a popular type of soft-tissue dermal filler. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is naturally present in our skin, it is temporary and is possible to dissolve should there be any problems. It has the ability to hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water and has many functions, including giving the skin elasticity and volume, keeping it smooth, supple and hydrated whilst creating youthful firmer-looking skin.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA), the ingredient that our fillers are made of, is a liquid gel-like substance which is temporary, naturally present in our skin and is a great product for injectables. The beauty of a temporary filler is that if required or necessary it can be dissolved by Hyaluronidase, a compound which breaks down Hyaluronic Acid (HA).

Your cheeks will be a little swollen at first, but you’ll see the effects of the treatment immediately, you will need around three to seven days for your cheeks to fully settle.

The fillers we use are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a water holding molecule. For the best results it is beneficial to be well hydrated prior to the treatment. 

7 Days Prior: If you are taking any blood thinning medication then ideally these should be stopped several days before the procedure, only with your doctors consent. Thinner blood will make the area more prone to bruising and bleeding.

3 Days Prior: Avoid any aggressive facial treatments, such as AHA peels. These activities increase blood flow to your face, which can only add to the swelling.

24 Hours Prior: Avoid alcohol before your treatment, alcohol in your system heightens the chance of swelling and bruising.
