Cheek Filler

Service Description

Cheek Filler: Composition: Cheek fillers are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the body and helps retain moisture and provide volume. Procedure: The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. A topical anesthetic or numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. The filler is then injected into specific areas of the cheeks using a fine needle or cannula. The practitioner will massage the area to ensure even distribution and achieve the desired contour. Results: Results are often visible immediately after the procedure, with full effects becoming apparent as any swelling subsides over the next few days. The results can last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors. Preparation for Cheek Filler Procedure: Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a qualified cosmetic practitioner to discuss your goals, evaluate your facial anatomy, and choose the appropriate filler. It’s important to communicate your expectations and ask any questions you may have. Avoid Blood Thinners: Avoid medications and supplements that can thin the blood, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil, at least 48 hours before the procedure to minimize the risk of bruising. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to the appointment. Proper hydration can help improve skin elasticity and overall results. Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcohol 24 hours before the procedure, as it can increase the risk of swelling and bruising. Skin Preparation: Maintain a regular skincare routine but avoid aggressive treatments (like chemical peels or laser treatments) a week prior to the procedure to prevent skin sensitivity. Aftercare for Cheek Fillers: Ice Packs: Apply ice packs to the cheeks for the first few hours after the procedure to reduce swelling and discomfort. Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to ensure the filler settles properly. Avoid Strenuous Activities: For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid intense exercise, hot environments (like saunas), and activities that could cause excessive sweating or increase blood flow to the face. No Makeup: Avoid applying makeup on or near the treated area for at least 24 hours to reduce the risk of irritation £100 PER ADDITIONAL ML
