Injector Maya uses the safest, FDA-approved, most effective and naturally biodegradable dermal fillers. These hyaluronic acid fillers mimic the natural hyaluronic acid in our skin. The hyaluronic acid filler is injected deep into the tissues.
Cheek augmentation is one of the most popular treatments at our clinic. Cheek fillers treatment is mostly performed in clients experiencing loss of cheek volume, causing saggy and tired facial appearance. Loss of cheek volume also influences the formation of creases in nasolabial folds and jowls, affecting the jawline contour. Strategic placement of filler can bring natural support and lift, redefining the cheeks and adding support where it is required most.
By restoring the cheeks with dermal fillers we often achieve an improvement in the nasolabial folds (smile lines). The result of the cheek filler procedure will be gentle but visible.
