We’ve all heard someone we know talking about a filler treatment they’ve gotten done, or maybe you’ve already started to dabble in filler treatments yourself! They certainly are all the rage, but what many people don’t know is that it isn’t just your lips that can be injected! Expertly injected filler can be used in a multitude of ways to achieve amazing results all over your face.
When you visit an Expert Injector, like the injectors at Lucere Dermatology & Laser Clinic in Edmonton, they can help you achieve benefits like achieving facial symmetry. Filler can also restore volume where it was once lost, or build on your facial features where you may have lacked volume in the first place. Filler can also add definition and structure as well. Many people may have heard of Cheek Filler treatments, but it is definitely one of the most misunderstood filler treatments out there.
A lot of people are quite fearful of having Cheek Filler injection treatments, because they are afraid to look fake or overdone. Many clients reference having big, “chipmunk cheeks” that look too big and add too much volume to the face. But this is a major misconception! An Expert Injector can make your results beautiful and natural, leaving you looking rested and more youthful-looking. To learn all about the amazing benefits of Cheek Fillers, keep on reading!
What is Cheek Filler?
Before we begin talking about the benefits, it’s important for you to know what Cheek Fillers are made of. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance your body creates, but as you age, your body produces less of it. This leads to less collagen production as well, and thus the many downfalls of aging, like saggy skin, wrinkles, etc. Dermal fillers are made with a hyaluronic acid base, and these are the best types of filler to use.
When expertly injected into the cheek area, dermal fillers can give the face a beautiful, subtle lift, and it can also restore volume in the cheeks. This helps achieve a natural, contoured look. While there are many brands of filler offered on the market, Lucere uses only the best, from brands like Restalyne, Juvéderm, and Revanesse.
What to Consider Before a Cheek Filler Treatment
Before we dig into all the reasons you should consider getting a Cheek Filler treatment, you need to first understand the anatomy of your cheek to really see how filler can help. This will also help you better understand what techniques your Expert Injector might use during treatment. The cheek region lies in the areas above the edge of your lip to your ear canal, everything under the outer area of your eye socket, and down from your lower eye socket back to the edge of your lip. This line from the nose to the edge of your lip is known as the nasolabial folds.
Why is it important to know this? Well, when you really realize the extent to which this region covers your face, the benefits of Cheek Filler become more and more apparent. For example, many people do not consider the nasolabial folds near the nose and mouth as the cheek, but by strategically and expertly injecting the upper cheeks or cheekbone area, this can provide a lift to soften those lines near the mouth. This takes real precision, technique and experience on your injector’s part, as well as the use of premium dermal filler product.
As with all injectable treatments, the most important thing you need to do is research and find the right injector. The experts at Lucere are top in the industry, and have many years of experience and thousands of incredible results under their belt. Your Expert Injector should also be well versed in the area of filler correction, as complications can occur. If they understand facial anatomy and structure, your treatment should be safe and your results amazing.
Along with the experience of your injector, it is also important to consider the type of filler product being used during your treatment. Your injector should only be using premium fillers that have a hyaluronic acid base. These fillers should come from trusted brands like Revanesse, Juvéderm and Restalyne. The benefit is that they are high-quality, last longer, provide better results and are safe. These filler products are also quite hydrating as well.
Now, you might be thinking that you aren’t an expert and can’t know everything about the product being used. That is true! Your injector will definitely be able to choose the best brand and type of filler for your skin and unique needs. It is your job to research your injector well and only visit a reputable dermatology clinic. Your injector should have a great aesthetic eye, and should also know advanced injection techniques.
Three Benefits of Cheek Filler
We all have different motivations for undergoing a cosmetic treatment. But for most of us, it stems from a need to achieve results that make us feel more beautiful and much more confident. Beauty is subjective, and that is why it is important that the clinic you visit have the same values that align with yours.
It’s important to seek treatments at a clinic that believes in beautiful, natural-looking results that do not leave you looking fake. Understanding your motivations are key! Cheek Filler treatments have three major benefits that can help target your concerns and leave you with results that make you more confident overall.
#1 Loss of Volume and Saggy Cheeks
The natural aging process is inevitable, and because of it, along with other factors like life style choices, your body will begin to produce less collagen and elastin. These components are important for keeping your skin firm, tight and looking young. When collagen and elastin production decreases, you may notice your skin looks saggier and droopier over time. This creates an appearance that can look older and more tired than you really feel on the inside.
An expertly injected Cheek Filler treatment can help you restore the natural volume and contour of your cheeks, that you have lost over time. Not only can this bring your cheeks back to life, it helps give your face more shape, definition and structure. If injected with advanced techniques, filler can also give a lifting effect that will help with lines and wrinkles in the face as well. This will help lift skin that is sagging as well, leading to a younger-looking, happier appearance. In doing this, your treatment will leave you more confident because people are more fixated on other features like your eyes, and less fixated on a lower face that sags.
#2 Nasolabial Folds That Are Deep
The lines that run on either side of your face from your nose to the corners of your lips are known as nasolabial folds, or smile lines. Because of aging, your face will naturally begin to be less firm and you will lose more volume in the area as well. This can cause a tired or sad appearance. If your nasolabial folds are too deep, they can make you look much older than you really are.
It’s important to note that filler can be directly injected into the nasolabial folds, but if your injector is highly experienced, they may use techniques to enhance your upper cheeks and create an overall lifting effect. This lift with help your skin move up, smoothing out folds and lines in your cheeks, including the nasolabial folds.
#3 A Naturally Contoured Cheekbone
For some clients, they are less concerned with aging and more concerned with achieving a certain look or aesthetic. These clients are usually a younger demographic, and are interested in certain enhancements. Clients in their 30s or even as young as their late 20s are motivated to achieve more structure and overall dimension to their faces. They also hope to create a natural contour in the cheek to help them wear less makeup.
This demographic of individuals in their 20s and 30s are also hoping to prevent aging from occurring too quickly. We know that with expert treatment that is done early, you can definitely slow down the aging process and keep a younger look for more a longer period of time.
I Don’t Want My Cheek Filler to Make Me Look Fake
For clients concerned with looking too fake, again, it is important to seek a clinic with a big reputation for amazing results that are natural. Do not be afraid to ask your injector for before and after photos to see their work and what they are capable of achieving. Your look should never be drastically altered, rather, enhanced into a better version of you!
