Mid-face/Cheek Enhacement
Cheek Filler is an injectable treatment that aims to restore lost volume to the area surrounding the cheekbone.
Cheek fillers can bring the face into balance by making the cheekbones more prominent, it can also be used to help bring a more defined structure to the face, creating a more aesthetically pleasing profile.
The application of dermal fillers to this area will not only enhance the facial volume, but will also smooth out fine lines and wrinkles giving a fresher, more youthful appearance to the face. The treatment also can indirectly improve the nose-to-mouth lines and under eye area, effectively lifting the entire face.
What’s the procedure like?
Prior to the treatment initial consultation and full facial assessment is required. During the consultation we discuss your desired results, costs and treatment details. Once we both happy with the treatment plan your appointment for a cheek filler injection will be scheduled.

Does it hurt?
It is important to remember that any treatment that involves rupturing the skin may incur some mild discomfort. Most people find this treatment to be perfectly tolerable. Topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment, limiting the chance of discomfort.
How many sessions do I need?
