Full and smooth cheeks are one of the signs of health and youth. As you age, the skin in this area can start to sag, creating a hollow and sunken appearance. Dermal treatments in this area can restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and help restructure your skin so that it can heal from the damage of time.
Most of the treatments designed for your cheeks are fillers that replace lost volume and mass. Some of these treatments provide restructuring benefits, while others are simply absorbed naturally into your skin. Toxins are not typically used to treat wrinkles along the cheeks, although they may be used for nearby areas, such as along the jawline.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is a hyaluronic acid gel combined with a light numbing agent that is intended to restore volume to your cheeks. VOLUMA® is particularly effective on the cheeks, but it also works wonders on any part of the face that is starting to sag. VOLUMA® and other JUVÉDERM® products are often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for the cheeks and lower face.
RADIESSE®
RADIESSE® is an FDA-approved filler that also acts as a collagen stimulator. Collagen is the protein that your skin uses to support itself, and the absence of collagen is one of the primary causes of sagging. RADIESSE® works by creating a strong scaffold while encouraging your skin to start healing underneath. This treatment can be highly effective both on the cheeks and on many other parts of your face.
Renuva®
Renuva® is an injection-based treatment that acts in place of a fat transfer. Renuva® is full of proteins and other structural components that your body normally used to build volume on your face. Renuva® feels incredibly natural and integrates normally with your skin. Renuva® is most often used to treat the cheeks, but it can also be used for other areas that need natural fat and volume.
Restylane® Defyne
Restylane® Defyne is a product designed to add light amounts of volume while combatting aggressive wrinkles and laugh lines. The Restylane® family of products work by providing a soft and highly effective filler while giving your skin the resources it needs to start healing on its own. Restylane® treatments are a good choice when you need both immediate effects and natural long-term results.
Restylane® Contour
Restylane Contour is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that adds volume and definition to the cheeks and is flexible enough to allow you to make any facial expression you desire. The injectable provides natural-looking results and comes with almost no downtime. You can expect the results to last for at least a year.
Restylane® Lyft
Restylane Lyft is a minimally-invasive, nonsurgical hyaluronic acid dermal filler used to create structure in the cheeks. By restoring lost volume and boosting collagen production, the injectable can help you look younger and give you more defined cheeks. It can also be used to reduce the appearance of laugh lines or nasolabial folds. Results are immediate and will last up to a year.
Sculptra® Aesthetic
Sculptra® Aesthetic is a collagen-stimulating injection that works to create long-term improvements in your skin. Sculptra® is not a filler, so it doesn’t have immediately obvious effects. However, over a few months, the presence of Sculptra® in your cheeks will slowly result in smoother, tighter, and healthier skin. Sculptra® Aesthetic can also be used to treat neighboring areas that are starting to wrinkle and collapse.
EZ Gel PRF
EZ Gel is a solution that consists of platelet-rich fibrin from your own blood and is used as a dermal filler to add volume and contour to the cheeks, boost collagen production, and fill in and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. By enhancing your cheeks and jawline, you can achieve a younger-looking appearance with only a few injections. The results typically last 3-6 months, but some patients have seen results for up to a year.
