FAQ
What is Chin Enhancement?
Dermal filler can be placed underneath the skin to define the chin, lessening a weak or underprojected chin. Chin filler can also lengthen and enhance the lower facial appearance creating a more beautiful look.
How is it done?
Using the finest Hyaluronic Acid based fillers, product is gently injected and strategically placed into the chin area. The idea of augmenting this area is a balanced profile, we can project set back chins, feminise square chins or elongate facial proportions, creating complete facial harmony.
Our treatments are lidocaine infused, for a completely pain-free non surgical procedure.
Is it painful?
Chin enhancement is one of our least painful procedures. Our range of FDA approved HA based fillers are heavily infused with lidocaine for zero sensation. We can also administer topical numbing cream on your attendance to our clinic.
How much will I need?
Amount is purely based on consultation as each and every client is different. When considering chin augmentation an average amount for a natural but noticeable look is 1-2mls. This treatment area is also offered within our Combined Contour Package to achieve facial sculpting across cheeks, and jawlines.
Will I bruise?
Downtime is minimal for this treatment, with most returning to normal activities almost immediately. As with any procedure there can be possible bruising at the injection site and tenderness or swelling but this should reside and return to normal within a few days.
To get maximum results from your treatment please adhere to the following advice;
For the next 24 hours refrain from any alcohol, strenuous exercise, make up application and UVA tanning beds. Please remember, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, strenuous exercise, and sun exposure can effect and help to reduce the lifespan of your treatment.
What kind of results should I expect?
Expect a well balanced, defined profile. By treating the chin alone, we can address issues such as an over projected bite, or add length to a short under-projected chin, helping to elongate if necessary. We call this process ‘Beautification’. We can also treat asymmetry or lop sided chins.
Our expert injectors will advise you what to choose, what would be best suited to you, and how much to use. How long it lasts all depends on you.
When will I see results and how long does it last?
Effects of the treatment are visible immediately and can last up to 6-9 months, again dependant on lifestyle factors, ageing and genetics. We also offer the Juvederm Vycross® range, which is designed to be longer lasting, some results seen lasting up to 12-18 months.
