For face harmony, cheek filler increases natural cheekbones. We’ll address your questions! What is it, how it works, and how we utilize it to make you look your best are all explained here.
What Is Cheek Filler?
Dermal fillers, including cheek fillers, have been around for years. Injectable cosmetics debuted in the 1800s. The modern dermal filler is a newer procedure that’s been gaining favor.
Dermal fillers increase volume, while Botox relaxes muscles to smooth skin and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. Many individuals use cheek fillers to restore volume or create high cheekbones, but dermal fillers are versatile. Find out which is suitable for you from our skincare experts.
Hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite are used in cheek fillers. Most are absorbable and wear out over time. To maintain your results, you should have refreshed it every six to 12 months. Directly beneath the skin, it enhances the desired locations.
We’ll discuss your goals and proceed during your skin consult! But it goes beyond cheeks. These injections may also improve your face’s shape if appropriately placed. Filler in the cheeks helps reduce nasolabial folds, under-eye circles, midface wrinkles, and smile lines.
What Types Of Cheek Fillers Are Out There?
Skin Pharm offers an array of fillers, including FDA-approved Juvederm and Restylane. Each filler has distinct advantages, so your skin care specialist will discuss your objectives and help you choose the ideal one. Selecting the appropriate decision may determine your success.
Is Injection An Option?
Most people can safely have it, with a few exceptions. We don’t inject fillers into pregnant or nursing women. Your appointment may be rescheduled if you have a facial rash or cold sore. Cold sore sufferers may be offered a prophylactic antiviral to lessen the chance of a flare-up.
Can Cheek Filler Be Used With Other Procedures?
Combine these injections with face contouring treatments if you want more than cheek volume. To balance your face, it may be used with Botox, lip, jawline, chin, and nasolabial injections. Discuss your alternatives with your provider!
Do I Need To Prepare For My Appointment?
After meeting with your physician and choosing a treatment plan, there are some things to consider before your session. Preparation may reduce unwanted effects and improve outcomes before your injection! Many common drugs and supplements affect how much bleeding or bruising individuals experience following injections.
These Include:
Vitamins A, E
NSAIDs like aspirin and ibuprofen
Say you use any of these drugs or supplements. If your primary care physician approves cheek fillers, we suggest ceasing medicines three days to a week before your visit.
Medicine may change healing and recovery, but so can other things. Other food you eat also matters. Alcohol, coffee, spicy meals, and foods heavy in salt, sugar, or carbohydrates may cause injection site swelling or bruising.
Are Cheek Fillers Painful?
Despite the benefits, injectable cosmetics make people uneasy. Our skin care specialists use numbing cream and topical anesthetics to reduce needle phobia. Cheek fillers like Juvederm and Restylane also include lidocaine to relieve pain. If you’re nervous about your operation, inform your physician. We want to make you feel secure and comfortable.
How Much Downtime Follows?
Cheek fillers have downtime, so you shouldn’t be too eager to see the results immediately. Most individuals have minimal adverse effects from injections, which is beneficial for cosmetic procedures.
Bruising, redness, pain, and swelling are common transient side effects. Tylenol reduces discomfort. We suggest scheduling your session two weeks before essential occasions. You may not require two weeks to recuperate, but this allows you time to reduce swelling, redness, and bruising.
How Soon Will The Results Appear?
Most individuals observe improvements shortly after their consultation once injection swelling subsides. If you need a touch-up, we store your remaining filler for eight weeks. Contact us to discuss your findings. Be confident in your skin!
What To Do (and Don’t Do) After Having Cheek Fillers
Post-care is essential. Reducing side effects may speed your recovery and improve outcomes! So, here’s what to do (and not do) following your cheek filler session.
Leave makeup off for 12 hours. It’s easy to cover up redness and bruises with cosmetics, but it clogs pores and increases infection risk.
Dental operations should wait two weeks following therapy. Dental operations may increase bloodstream bacteria, which can cause injection site infections.
Face raised and slightly elevated on a pillow. This reduces injection-related edema. It may also prevent spreading.
Avoid exercise for 24 hours after injections. Sweating from exercise may transport germs to your injection sites, increasing your risk of infection.
Avoid direct sunshine and heat for 72 hours after injection. Besides sweat, your skin is more susceptible to UV rays from the sun.
No facials for two weeks. After injections, encourage skin repair by supporting it rather than treating it. Avoid facials, microdermabrasion, and highly abrasive products. Use only essential skin care products.
Conclusion
Cheek fillers may add volume or highlight cheekbones to create balance. This rapid, painless cosmetic procedure has few adverse effects and instant results, which is why it’s so popular.
