Losing volume in our faces is a natural part of ageing and can also occur as when we lose a lot of weight. As we age and collagen declines we may think that our faces are beginning to look gaunt or more hollow.
For some people the signs of ageing affect how they feel about themselves and this, in turn, affects their confidence. Thankfully, with advances in medical aesthetics we can easily treat the loss of mid face volume successfully while achieving beautiful and natural looking results.
How we treat mid face volume loss
One of the most popular treatments we provide at our clinic in Khobar in the Eastern Province of KSA are dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid which is a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies. Dermal fillers can be injected into many areas of the face such as the lips, cheeks, chin and jaw, however, injecting dermal fillers in the cheek area is a convenient way to address mid face volume loss.
Cheek fillers
Cheek fillers are non-invasive dermal filler treatments that give patients instantaneous results. Cheek fillers add lost volume back into the face and have the additional benefit of creating more structure and giving the face a lift. They can also help minimise the appearance of dark under eye circles as the dermal filler lifts the undereye area and reduces the look of shadows.
They enhance the look of the cheek bones and improve the look of facial contours. Cheek filler can also help to lessen the look of lines and wrinkles and give patients a more youthful looking appearance.
Dermal filler benefits
As well as adding volume and giving the face a more lifted effect, the hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers also improves the look of the skin. This is because hyaluronic acid attracts water and when dermal fillers are injected into the skin, the water that is attracted to the area makes skin look more hydrated.
Will people know I have had cheek filler?
Many patients tell us that they get complimented on how they look after cheek filler treatment, however most people don’t recognise that this is down to dermal fillers. People may comment that patients look ‘well rested’ or that their skin is glowing, but they don’t equate this with having had an aesthetic treatment. We always strive to get natural looking results for our patients so if you have cheek filler treatment with us it won’t be obvious to other people.
How long do cheek fillers last?
The amount of time your cheek fillers will last can depend on different variables. The type of cheek filler used and how your body processes the hyaluronic acid can have an impact on how long it will be before you need a top up treatment. At our aesthetics clinic in Khobar, we only use the highest quality dermal fillers which can last up to 18 months.
If you would like to know more about how cheek fillers can rejuvenate, lift and enhance your look we would be delighted to welcome you to book a consultation at Dr Pierre Zakhour.
