Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and cysts. It primarily affects the face, chest, back, and shoulders and is most common during puberty but can occur at any age. Acne can range from mild to severe and may lead to scarring if not treated appropriately.
Acne develops when the sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin produce excess oil, which combines with dead skin cells to clog the pores. This creates an ideal environment for bacteria, specifically Propionibacterium acnes, to thrive. The resulting inflammation leads to the formation of pimples, cysts, and sometimes scarring. Several factors contribute to acne development, including:

Cheek augmentation with dermal fillers is a non-surgical procedure that enhances the volume and contour of the cheeks. By injecting fillers into specific areas, the treatment lifts the mid-face, restores lost volume, and creates a more defined and youthful appearance.
The results of cheek augmentation with dermal fillers typically last between 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors like metabolism and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled to extend the results.
Cheek augmentation is minimally invasive and generally well-tolerated. Most fillers contain a numbing agent to enhance comfort during the procedure. You may feel slight pressure or a mild pinching sensation, but overall, the discomfort level is very low.
One of the advantages of cheek augmentation with dermal fillers is the minimal downtime. You might experience some minor swelling or redness at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Cheek augmentation is a safe procedure when performed by experienced professionals. Common side effects are mild and may include temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. Serious complications are rare, but your practitioner will discuss any potential risks with you during your consultation.
