Some people feel they have a disproportionately small chin in relation to the rest of their facial features. Dermal fillers can be injected into the chin to lengthen it to create the perfect ratio between the nose, lips and chin. A chin enhancement can also correct an uneven chin, move the chin forwards or downwards and even reduce the appearance of a double chin, wrinkles and folds.
Also known as; chin fillers, chin augmentation or chin contouring.
Your Aesthetics Practitioner will first discuss your requirements and explain the process thoroughly. Upon beginning the treatment we apply an anaesthetic cream to numb the area, ensuring the procedure is comfortable. The filler itself also contains Lidocaine, a numbing agent, to help minimise any discomfort.
The fillers will then be injected through various points and massaged to achieve the look you desire. We only use premium branded, high quality dermal fillers made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a liquid gel-like, water holding molecule that is temporary and also naturally present in our skin.
How much product (ml) you require varies person by person. Generally, to achieve a noticeable but natural difference we would recommend starting with 1ml. During your appointment, our Aesthetics Practitioner will analyse your features and advise the required product (ml) to use to achieve the results you want and to best suit your face shape.
Dermal fillers can always be ‘layered’ over time to achieve your desired look. You can always increase the amount of product (ml) on the day of your treatment, if feel you require more.
Dermal fillers can be injected into the chin to create the perfect ratio between the nose, lips and chin. A chin enhancement can do the following;
• Strengthen a weak/small chin
• Enhance an underdeveloped chin
• Increase the height/length of the chin
• Increase the width of the chin
• Reduce the appearance of a double chin
• Correct an uneven chin
• Create a chiseled look (for men)
• Fill wrinkles or folds
The shape of your chin will be designed in a way that suits your individual profile and your requirements to make the appearance of the chin more aesthetically pleasing.
Majority of our clients find that one session is sufficient, however a small number can require a second session once any swelling has subsided and the filler has settled.
We are only able to work with your natural features, any treatment should be viewed as an improvement and not a cure.
A topical anaesthetic will be applied to numb the treatment area to ensure the procedure is comfortable, you’ll feel a little prick and slight pressure. The filler itself also contains Lidocaine, a numbing agent, to help minimise discomfort.
Post-filler bruising and inflammation are a common side effect, but this subsides after three to seven days. Makeup can be applied to the area 6 hours after the procedure to cover any bruising. In rare occasions infection can occur, however this is greatly reduced if the correct post-treatment and aftercare advice have been adhered to, which you will receive on the day of your treatment.
See ‘How do I prepare for my appointment?’ to view our recommendations in order to minimise side effects.
Fillers are small injections of a liquid, gel-like substance that is ideal for filling in creases and lines, plumping up the lips or cheeks and enhancing facial contours. They are also able to improve the appearance of aging, wrinkling or sagging skin.
The fillers we use are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a popular type of soft-tissue dermal filler. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is naturally present in our skin, it is temporary and is possible to dissolve should there be any problems. It has the ability to hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water and has many functions, including giving the skin elasticity and volume, keeping it smooth, supple and hydrated whilst creating youthful firmer-looking skin.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA), the ingredient that our fillers are made of, is a liquid gel-like substance which is temporary, naturally present in our skin and is a great product for injectables. The beauty of a temporary filler is that if required or necessary it can be dissolved by Hyaluronidase, a compound which breaks down Hyaluronic Acid (HA).
Your chin will be a little swollen at first, but you’ll see the effects of the treatment immediately, you will need around three to seven days for your chin to fully settle.
We accept Visa Debit, Visa Credit and most other forms of card providers.
The fillers we use are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a water holding molecule. For the best results it is beneficial to be well hydrated prior to the treatment.
7 Days Prior: If you are taking any blood thinning medication then ideally these should be stopped several days before the procedure, only with your doctors consent. Thinner blood will make the area more prone to bruising and bleeding.
3 Days Prior: Avoid any aggressive facial treatments, such as AHA peels. These activities increase blood flow to your face, which can only add to the swelling.
24 Hours Prior: Avoid alcohol before your treatment, alcohol in your system heightens the chance of swelling and bruising.
