Don’t risk your appearance with inexperienced injectors or you could end up with the dreaded ‘pillow face’ look! Even celebrities like Madonna can go too far without the right advice.

So whether you want enhanced cheeks, more youthful looking skin, or an Anti-Wrinkle or anti-ageing procedure, our experienced and caring team have your best interest at heart.

Cheek Enhancement can be done for both anti-ageing reasons or for the younger patient to augment facial balance and cheek proportions.

Ageing can cause the cheeks to lose volume and may appear hollowed and sagging; cheek enhancement using Dermal Fillers can plump up the mid-face and give it a more rounded youthful look.

Dermal Fillers are a gel made of naturally occurring substance in your skin. Our experienced injectors use it to put back volume in the skin and to define certain areas of the face.

Dermal Skin Fillers have been available for over 20 years and at Cosmetic Image Clinics the fillers we use have been fully tested.

After your initial consultation you will be advised on an appropriate treatment plan which includes the areas of treatment, cost and most importantly how to achieve your required outcome. Your plan may include other treatments such as Anti-Wrinkle Muscle Relaxants and other Facial Rejuvenation treatments that we offer at our clinic that specifically address your concerns.

If you would like numbing cream to be applied prior to your procedure, please do not hesitate to ask. Ideally, this should to be done half an hour prior to your procedure, but even 10 minutes of application of numbing cream will help. We often use ice as well to minimise discomfort. We pride ourselves on making your experience as comfortable as possible.

The procedure will take approximately an hour, which includes the numbing time. Your practitioner will gently inject the dermal filler under your skin in the cheek area on the face providing plumpness, facial balance and restoring your skins volume. They will then gently massage the treated areas.

After your treatment, there is minimal downtime or recovery.

You may experience slight swelling, redness, pain and firmness to the treated areas. These symptoms are usually mild to moderate and improve after approximately 7 days or less. You can use an ice pack on the area treated if you have any swelling. If symptoms persist or you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our clinic on 07 3003 4000.

You should see immediate results from your Cheek Enhancement (Dermal Filler) treatment and results can last from 12 months to three years, but results may vary and touch up treatments may be required to reach your desired results. Our chosen dermal skin fillers used to volumise the cheeks have the greatest longevity of dermal fillers available in Australia.

Mineral make-up can be applied to the face after treatment. At Cosmetic Image Clinics we have Issada Australian-owned boutique mineral range of make-up available, so please don’t hesitate to ask our team for make-up application after your procedure if desired.

You may experience slight swelling, redness, pain and firmness to the treated areas. These symptoms are usually mild to moderate and improve after approximately 7 days or less. You can use an ice pack on the area treated if you have any swelling and take Panadol for pain. (Please do not use Ibuprofen/Nurofen as this increases your risk of bruising).

If symptoms persist or you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our clinic on 07 3003 4000.

Dermal fillers have not been tested on pregnant or breast feeding women and therefore should not be used during these times. Please advise us prior to treatment if there is any chance that you may be pregnant.
