Cheek Fillers
One of the blaring signs of aging is sunken areas of your face where you’ve lost all volume, such as the cheeks. Some key factors that expedite this are the loss of Hyaluronic Acid, elastin, and collagen, three building blocks that are crucial for youthful and hydrated skin. Regardless, nurse Zayra can help you turn back the clock and relive your glory days. Cheek fillers restore facial volume and lift and reduce laugh lines and under-eye tear troughs.
Candidates
If you’re considering cheek fillers as a treatment, you’ll need to undergo a one-on-one consultation with nurse Zayra before the procedure. She ensures to discuss all your concerns and medical history to decide whether you’re fit and healthy to undergo the treatment.
Generally, though, ideal candidates for cheek fillers include
- Adults who may be experiencing sunken cheeks and loss of facial volume
- Individuals who are healthy and maintain a balanced lifestyle
- Individuals who don’t smoke
- Individuals who have realistic expectations and understand that results vary according to different factors such as age, skin conditions, and the type of filler used
What to Expect
Nurse Zayra will create a tailored treatment plan, possibly paired with other treatments for a holistic approach. Before beginning the procedure, we start by disinfecting your skin at the injection sites, so ensure not to wear makeup. Once the target areas are recognized and marked, a topical, dermal anesthetic may be applied to numb the area. However, since cheek fillers now contain Lidocaine, there is no need for prior numbing treatments.
When an experienced injector administers the dermal filler, the procedure will be carried out seamlessly and safely, with the results as natural as possible. Nurse Zayra firmly believes in enhancing her patient’s facial features and not changing them altogether. Zayra may use needles, cannulas, or both, depending on your requirements and aesthetic goals. The treatment can take anywhere between 30 to 60 minutes.
Recovery
The reason cheek fillers are so great is not just because they’re effective, but they also have little to no downtime required. These injections are routine procedures, and you can expect to resume your day-to-day activities immediately!
After the treatment, it’s common to experience the following symptoms:
- Redness and swelling
- Tenderness
- Bruising
However, rest assured that this will subside in a few days, and you can use cold compresses to relieve discomfort.
Results / Longevity
Cheek fillers are a great way to restore your facial volume and youthful look, and you’ll have your final results appear anywhere between a couple of days to a few weeks! The longevity of results varies amongst patients, their anatomy, the product used, and their age. However, anywhere between 6 to 24 months is a safe guess.
Your results can be maintained through subsequent treatments, stimulating collagen growth and adding more volume to the target areas. Nurse Zayra will manage your expectations and advise you accordingly on how long you should wait before coming in for another session.
