Sunken Cheeks
Sunken cheeks occur when you don’t have a lot of tissue (flesh) between your zygoma (the bony arch of your cheek under your eye) and your mandible (your lower jawbone). Both women and men can have them.
Common Causes
Sunken cheeks are often attributed to the aging process, which causes you to lose facial fat. As we age, we lose subcutaneous fat from around the eyes and mouth. Subcutaneous means fat that’s just beneath the surface of the skin. Because our bone structure doesn’t change, this can result in sunken cheeks.
Thin cheeks could also be the result of other factors, including:
illness
diet
personal habits
environment
Heavy smoking

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are natural or synthetic gels that are injected into the skin to volumise, lift and improve the appearance of lines. The dermal fillers used at our Clinic contain Hyaluronic Acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that exists naturally in almost all living organisms. It binds water and can act as a lubricant and shock absorber in movable parts of the body such as joints. It is also important for the transport of nutrients and in regulating water balance in skin.
Dermal filler injections provide an easy way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, smooth the skin and give a more youthful appearance. The result of a single treatment can be seen instantly and can last for around 6 to 9 months. Dermal filler injections can give a natural looking result that does not affect facial expression.
Dermal fillers can be used to smooth away facial lines and wrinkles, create fuller lips and shape facial contours, such as cheeks and chin, and revitalise the skin.
The most common areas treated are:
Nose to mouth lines (the nasolabial folds)
between the eyebrows (the glabella lines)
lips (adding volume and shape)

Profhilo Bio Remodelling
Profhilo is an injectable treatment containing hyaluronic acid that stimulates collagen and elastin and helps to improve the quality of tissue. With one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid, it is a booster and hydrator for the skin and works to help improve the appearance of aging skin. Treatment usually comprises three treatments four weeks apart.
One of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, Profhilo not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue. The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck and can also be used for the décolletage, hands, arms, knees and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity. The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages.
Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid is precisely injected into the area being treated. Unlike wrinkle reducing and dermal filler treatments, Profhilo stimulates collagen and elastin, attracting water in the deeper layers of the skin. The treatment can be used on the face, neck, decolletage and hands. Longevity is 6 months to 1 Year.

Facial Aesthetic - Post Treatment Consultation
We offer a free post treatment consultation which can be done in person or via a video call if requested. This consultation is normally scheduled within 2 weeks of the treatment. The effects of the treatment will start to be visible about 4 to 7 days after the injections, and the result will last for about three months. During your post-treatment consultation the doctor can check that you are happy with the results and that the treatment has worked as you expected. If necessary, a free top-up treatment can also be given at this follow up appointment.
