Cheek fillers are a type of dermal filler that can help to plump up and add volume to the cheek area. They are used to reduce signs of ageing such as wrinkles, hollow areas, and flattening of the skin in the cheek area. Many people choose to have cheek fillers because they provide an instant result, but this is not always the case.
The process of injecting dermal filler into the cheeks is relatively quick and easy and usually takes just minutes. But it is important to note that it may take several days or even weeks for the full effects of cheek fillers to be visible.
If you are looking for an instant result, it is important to discuss this with your practitioner before beginning treatment. Your practitioner can help you achieve the results you desire in a timely manner, while also making sure that they are appropriate and safe for your skin type and overall health.
Your practitioner may suggest using combinations of treatments such as cheek fillers and skin resurfacing treatments such as microneedling and chemical peels, to help speed up the effects of cheek filler. Combining treatments helps to reduce swelling and inflammation quicker, which can provide almost immediate results when done correctly.
Overall, cheek fillers do not provide an instant result every time. It is important to be open and honest with your practitioner about your desired results so they can make sure they are providing the best and most appropriate treatment for you. With the right practitioner, you can achieve your desired results in a safe and timely manner.
In regards to longevity, cheek fillers generally last anywhere between 9-18 months. This can vary depending on the type of filler used and your body’s individual makeup. So, if you are looking for a more permanent solution, it is important to discuss other options with your practitioner when considering cheek filler treatments.
Ultimately, whether cheek fillers are permanent will depend on your individual situation and the type of dermal filler used. It is always best to speak with a qualified and experienced practitioner to determine which filler type and treatment option is best for you. With their help, you can get the results you desire whilst keeping safety as their top priority.
