With age, the skin’s production of collagen begins to slow, leading to concerns such as sagging cheeks and gauntness that can occur due to lost volume. If you want to restore volume to your cheek area for a more youthful appearance, or if you wish to enhance your cheekbones to make them more or less prominent, cheek enhancement fillers could be right for you. At The Greville Clinic, we offer cheek fillers in Melbourne to help address your specific concerns and achieve your skin goals.
Cheek injections consist of a soft, gel-like substance that works to bind water molecules in the skin. When injected into the cheeks, this substance has a hydrating and plumping effect, helping to fill out the cheek area and reduce sagging and gauntness. Cheek enhancement fillers can also be used to better define the cheekbones and smooth out wrinkles and lines. Over time, the filler dissolves and stimulates collagen production in the area, providing long-lasting improvements to the skin.
The results of cheek enhancement fillers can be seen immediately after they’re administered. However, due to swelling and the need for the filler to settle, it can take several days before optimal results are seen. Injectable treatments also stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen.
Due to the fine needles that are used, most people report minimal discomfort when getting cheek injections. You may experience a slight pinching sensation and a sting as the filler is injected beneath the skin.
After the treatment, some swelling and bruising may occur. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise until the filler has settled.
The cheek fillers cost can vary depending on the filler type and how much of it is required to treat your specific concern. In your initial consultation, we will assess your skin and determine the estimated cost to achieve your desired result.
The results of cheek fillers can typically be seen for up to 6 to 18 months after treatment. After this time, further treatment will be needed to maintain results. The frequency of treatment can depend on a range of factors, including the type of filler, the treatable concern, and lifestyle and environmental factors.
