CHEEKS

Filler

Injectable dermal fillers are commonly used on the cheeks to restore lost volume, smooth lines or hollows that develop with age and to enhance cheek definition and contours.

  • Dermal Fillers (e.g., Juvederm, RHA Collection and Radiesse) — these add volume and can provide a subtle lift especially helpful if there’s sagging or flattening of the cheeks.

Biostimulator

Biostimulators are regenerative injectables that prompt your body to naturally produce new collagen and elastin. This is used to tighten and lift the face, not add volume.

  • Diluted Radiese — this thin fluid is fanned into the subdermal layer of the cheeks and lower face to trigger collagen production without adding significant volume.

Energy-Based Treatments 

These treatments help improve skin quality across the cheeks, including fine lines, texture irregularities and pigmentation:

  • SkinPen Microneedling — tiny controlled skin injuries trigger collagen production and enhance texture.
  • Radiofrequency Microneedling (e.g., Secret RF) — the device uses microneedles to create micro-injuries while simultaneously delivering fractional RF energy into the dermis, this combination triggers the body's natural healing process, stimulating new collagen and elastin production.
  • Laser Skin Rejuvenation (e.g., Fraxel®, Laser Genesis, Pearl/Pearl Fractional) — laser procedures that stimulate collagen, reduce fine lines, sun damage and improve skin texture.
  • CO2 Laser (e.g., Tetra Pro) — an advanced fractional carbon dioxide laser used for skin resurfacing. It treats wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars and uneven texture by stimulating new collagen production.

These are good options if your primary concern isn’t volume loss but rather texture, sun damage or overall glow.

Hydrafacials & Chemical Peels

  • Hydrafacials — deeply cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate skin to support smoother, brighter skin.
  • Chemical peels (SkinMedica®) — help with surface texture and tone, exfoliating the top layers to reveal fresher skin underneath.

These are gentler options that improve the look and feel of cheek skin with minimal downtime.

Professional Skincare Recommendations

Alongside in-office treatments, Christie Clinic providers can recommend medical-grade skincare (like retinoids, antioxidants and moisturizers) tailored to maintaining results and supporting cheek skin health over time.

Next Steps

Most of these are customized based on your specific concern (volume loss vs. texture vs. pigmentation). A consultation with your Christie Clinic dermatology provider is typically recommended so they can:

  • Assess your skin goals
  • Recommend a tailored plan (often a combination of treatments)
  • Discuss expected outcomes and downtime
