As we age, we gradually lose many vital components such as bone mass, fat, elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid from our faces. This causes a loss of volume various areas. One of the key areas that can suffer with age are the cheeks. Where in your youth you may have had a heart shaped face due to high cheek bones, you may find that your face takes on more of a square appearance. The lines from the nose to the mouth can become deeper set and create an overall heavy appearance to the lower face.
At NU-U we offer Dermal fillers to restore lost volume and hydration to the face. Dermal fillers when injected in to the cheeks can lift sagging skin, create a more rounded cheek and offer that heart shaped face which we associate with youth. The treatment is also used by men to restore some of that “chiselled” appearance.
To ensure that you remain comfortable throughout your treatment, topical numbing cream will be applied to the area of injection. As most dermal fillers now contain Lidocaine, an anaesthetic which numbs at the point of injection, you will feel very little discomfort. Our doctors use the advanced cannula technique to inject the dermal filler in to the cheek area. This avoids the need for multiple injections and also ensures vital structures are protected.
