The ageing process can change the facial anatomy and this occurs due to the depletion of facial tissues such as muscle and fat. The degradation of bone mass and loss of moisture from the skin can mean lines and wrinkles appear as well as sagging skin and volume reduction. This can all lead to sagging cheeks and jowl formation. From his cheek and jawline filler clinic in Wolverhampton, Dr Dan Dhunna, one of the world leaders in facial cosmetic procedures, offers non-surgical cheek and jawline augmentation using injectable dermal fillers, to revitalise your looks and bring a youthful vitality to your facial contours.
What are dermal fillers for the cheek and jawline?
Dermal fillers are injected in to the deeper layers of the skin for facial rejuvenation. They are gel-like substances of various thicknesses and most contain a substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). HA occurs naturally within our bodies, present in the eyes, connective tissues, joints and the skin. As the natural ageing process commences, HA starts to deplete. As HA is lost, it can lead to the degradation of other vital components of healthy skin, namely collagen and elastin, which rely on its hydrating properties. Collagen keeps cartilage and skin tissues elastic whilst HA holds moisture. When HA is lost, our cells can no longer hold enough water and collagen degrades, leading to reduced skin elasticity. By using dermal fillers as an anti-ageing reconstructing agent, we can replenish the lost HA, plump out the dermal layers and increase the production of collagen within the tissues. As a result, the facial contours are supported, lifted and a youthful facial shape is achieved.
What happens during a cheek and jawline treatment at the clinic in Wolverhampton?
After your initial consultation at Dr Dan Dhunna’s Wolverhampton cheek and jawline filler clinic, a topical numbing ointment will be applied to the specific areas of the face. Once this has taken effect, Dr Dan Dhunna will, use a cannula (a blunt ended needle, designed to reduce swelling and bruising, following treatment) to inject appropriate amounts of the chosen dermal filler in to the areas of concern. After the treatment you will see a result straight away as the HA dermal filler has a physical effect on the skin tissues. However, there may be a period of slight swelling and a little bruising for a couple of days afterwards, so expect your optimum results to be seen once this subsides, at a week to 2 weeks, following your cheek and jawline filler treatment.
How long do results from dermal fillers for the cheeks and jawline last?
Juvéderm dermal filler products are the fillers of choice for Dr Dan Dhunna, due to their safety record and efficacy as well as longevity of results. Therefore, in most cases, you can expect your cheek or jawline filler treatment to last between 1 – 2 years. If you take good care of your skin, avoid excessive exposure to the sun and refrain from smoking, your results will last longer than if you do not maintain good general health. Once the doctor has applied his artistry, it’s then up to you to continue his good work by keeping fit and well and using superlative skin products at home. Dr Dan Dhunna can advise you of the best skincare to use, during your consultation or treatment.
