Cheek Enhancement
DERMAL FILLERS: DIMINISH WRINKLES, INCREASE LIP & CHEEK VOLUME
Gentle Care Laser Aesthetics offers Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Juvéderm® Voluma, and Juvederm Volbella® Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases, as well as to restore volume in the cheek, chin and lip areas. The most appropriate lines to treat with fillers are the static lines you can see when your face is not moving (like smile lines). The most commonly treated areas include: lips, smile lines (or nasolabial folds), mouth lines (or marionette lines), smoker lines (or vertical lip lines), cheeks or chin, and tear troughs. A single treatment can provide subtle to dramatic improvement in appearance without surgery and with little downtime. *
Over the last several years, dermal fillers have become incredibly popular due to their fast and long-lasting results. Dermal fillers supplement the body’s age depleted hyaluronic acid and because hyaluronic acid occurs naturally within the body, it also dissolves naturally and requires no allergy testing prior to treatment. Whether you are restoring volume loss to create a more youthful appearance or adding volume for facial contouring you may see the improvement almost immediately.*
At Gentle Care Laser Aesthetics Dr. Khan will work with you to create a safe and effective personalized treatment plan to ensure your cosmetic goals are achieved and your expectations are surpassed.

how does cheek enhancement work?
Cheek augmentation is an effective, non-surgical, and minimally invasive option for those who wish to have more volume in the cheekbone area and enhance their overall facial contour and balance. Because the cheek area is augmented with an injectable dermal filler, the results are more natural, require little down-time, and have a low incidence of side-effects. Additionally, because no general anesthesia is required the client may control her/his outcome by looking in a handheld mirror and providing feedback to Dr. Khan throughout the procedure.
Traditional cheek implants are surgical, invasive procedures. Either silicone or fat is implanted into the cheekbone area.
Surgical implants are done under general anesthesia with an incision made inside the mouth, through which the implant is inserted. The recovery can be painful and the outcome may not always be as desired.
Dr. Khan prefers to use either the Radiesse or Juvederm dermal fillers. Both fillers are FDA approved, and hypoallergenic. Juvederm has the benefit of being a reversible filler. During your free initial consultation, Dr. Khan will determine which filler is ideal for you and your desired results.
