Treatment Details

Targets

Concerns:Dull Skin Crepey Skin

Areas:Cheek

Tissues:Skin (Epidermis, Dermis)

Longevity:3-6 Months

How it Works

Duration:30 minutes

Anesthesia:Topical (e.g., Numbing Cream)

Pain Level:Mild

Techniques:Injection

Technique Notes:Deliver small aliquots in the superficial to mid dermis using slow, low-pressure injection, spacing deposits evenly to optimize skin smoothness. Use strict aseptic technique and gentle molding only if needed to flatten surface irregularities. Avoid known vascular pathways and adjust depth according to skin thickness to remain intradermal.

Session Notes:Multiple microdroplet injections are placed superficially across the cheeks in a grid-like pattern. Mild stinging and transient blebs may occur despite topical anesthesia. Most individuals resume normal activities immediately, with visible marks typically fading within 24–48 hours.

Post Treatment

Downtime:1 day

Post-care:Keep the area clean and avoid makeup, strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat for 24 hours. Do not massage the treated sites unless instructed; consider sleeping with the head elevated the first night to reduce swelling. Monitor for increasing pain, blanching, or persistent discoloration.

Risks:Common effects include redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, and small palpable bumps at injection sites that typically resolve within days. Less common risks include infection, delayed-onset nodules, or hypersensitivity; inadvertent intravascular injection with ischemic complications is rare but serious.
