TREATMENT INFO
Whether your cheeks feel less full than they used to or you’d like a little more definition, we’ll help you explore a treatment plan that complements your natural facial shape.

Learn more
Cheek filler is an injectable treatment that can restore fullness or enhance definition through the cheeks. You might be noticing a flatter appearance through the mid-face as part of facial volume loss, or you may want to bring out the shape of your cheekbones.
The right approach depends on your existing contours and what you’d like to achieve. At Skin Techniques, we consider how your cheeks look from the front and side, as well as how they sit alongside your other features. Cheek filler is part of our wider range of dermal filler treatments.
What it helps
Cheek filler may help replace fullness that has reduced over time, soften a flatter mid-face or enhance cheekbone definition. Treatment can focus on restoring volume where it has been lost or bringing out the contours you already have.
Cheek support can also be relevant when we assess under-eye concerns or nose-to-mouth folds. However, cheek filler won’t reliably lift loose skin or remove every fold. Where skin laxity is the main concern, we’ll explain whether another approach would be more helpful.

How it works
Filler is placed beneath the skin to add volume or support in the areas agreed during your consultation. Restoring lost fullness through the mid-face needs a different approach from enhancing the cheekbones, so we’ll explain where treatment may help and why.
A broader treatment may require more filler than a small adjustment, and we’ll explain the recommended amount beforehand. Initial swelling can temporarily affect the jaw’s outline, so we assess the settled result before considering any further treatment.
Our approach
At Skin Techniques, we specialise in a personalised, full-face approach to dermal fillers. You might come to us with a particular treatment in mind, but the area you notice isn’t always the only place we need to consider.
Changes in volume, skin quality and the support around your features can all contribute to the same concern. Sometimes treating one area is appropriate; sometimes a combination of treatments may be more helpful.
We take time to understand what is causing your concern and how your features work together before recommending a treatment plan. You don’t need to know exactly what to book—we’ll explain the options and help you decide on an approach that suits your face and what you’d like to achieve.
Your questions
Our dermal filler treatments start from £390. The amount required and filler selected determine the final cost. A small adjustment may need a different amount from a plan to restore more noticeable volume loss, so we’ll confirm the full price after assessment.
Results often last around 6–18 months, although some fillers and treatment plans can last longer. Your individual response also matters. We’ll assess the remaining volume before recommending maintenance, rather than adding more simply because time has passed.
Restoring cheek volume may improve nearby contours in some people, but it won’t reliably remove nasolabial folds. We’ll assess the cheeks and folds together to understand where treatment may help and whether filler is appropriate.
There isn’t a standard amount for everyone. Your starting volume, facial shape and preferred result guide the recommendation. You don’t need to choose a quantity beforehand, and a gradual approach may be more appropriate than adding more at the first appointment.
