What Is Cheek Filler?
Cheek filler uses hyaluronic acid to add structure, lift and volume to the cheek area. As we age, fat pads can descend and diminish, causing flatness and contributing to jowling. Cheek filler restores this lost volume and creates a lifted, sculpted appearance with product placed precisely at the cheekbone and mid-face.
Benefits of Cheek Filler
Cheek filler delivers immediate structural improvements that make a significant difference to overall facial appearance. Restoring volume to the mid-face often has a lifting effect on surrounding areas, reducing nasolabial folds and improving the jawline.
Key benefits include:
- Restored mid-face volume and youthfulness
- Enhanced cheekbone definition and structure
- Lifted, sculpted appearance
- Reduction of nasolabial folds
- Improved facial symmetry
- Immediate visible improvement
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production
- Repairs and regenerates skin tissue at a cellular level
- Reduces fine lines and improves skin laxity
- Effective for under-eye circles and crepey skin
- Cumulative results that build over time
Results from cheek filler are visible immediately following treatment. Mild swelling settles within five to seven days, revealing the final result.
How Cheek Filler Treatment Works
Cheek filler treatment at SIX1 Aesthetics in Bracknell is a precise, comfortable procedure completed in around 30 to 45 minutes. We use only premium hyaluronic acid fillers and take a thorough approach to facial assessment first.
Consultation and skin analysis
We start with a full consultation to discuss your skin concerns and assess the areas you want to treat. This lets us design a personalised treatment course tailored to your goals and skin type.
Application of numbing cream
A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Precise cheek filler placement
Using a fine cannula or needle, filler is placed at the cheekbone and mid-face in carefully mapped positions, prioritising natural-looking lift and structure. Product is placed conservatively and built up to achieve the right balance for your facial anatomy.
Course of treatments for best results
Polynucleotides work cumulatively. We recommend a course of three to four sessions to achieve the best results, with maintenance treatments every six to twelve months to sustain and build on your improvements.
How Long Does Cheek Filler Last?
Cheek filler typically lasts twelve to eighteen months, making it one of the longer-lasting injectable treatments. Top-up treatments every twelve to eighteen months maintain your result. As with all hyaluronic acid fillers, treatment can be adjusted or reversed if needed.
Cheek Filler Aftercare
After your cheek filler treatment, you may experience some swelling, tenderness or bruising for 24 to 72 hours. Avoid alcohol, intense exercise and direct sun exposure for 24 hours. Final results settle within five to seven days. Most clients return to normal activities the same day.

Cheek Filler FAQ's
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are long chains of DNA molecules that stimulate the skin's natural repair and regeneration processes. When injected into the skin, they activate fibroblasts — the cells that produce collagen and elastin — improving skin quality, firmness, and texture from the inside out.
How are polynucleotides different from other injectables?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers or skin boosters, polynucleotides work by regenerating skin tissue rather than filling or hydrating directly. They trigger collagen production and tissue repair at a cellular level, delivering results that build progressively over a course of treatment.
How many sessions do I need?
Most clients benefit from a course of three to four sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart. Results build gradually, and the full effect is usually visible a few months after completing the course. Maintenance treatments every six to twelve months help sustain your results.
Are polynucleotides the same as PDRN?
PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a specific type of polynucleotide with a particularly strong ability to stimulate tissue regeneration. The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but polynucleotides encompasses a range of similar products. All work by activating the skin's natural repair processes.
Does polynucleotide treatment hurt?
Numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimise discomfort. Most clients find the procedure comfortable, though you may feel a slight stinging sensation during injections. Any discomfort is brief and very manageable.
How soon will I see results?
Most clients notice improvements in skin texture and hydration after two to three sessions. The full regenerative effect becomes visible over several months as collagen production increases. Polynucleotides are a gradual treatment — a full course delivers the best results.
Are polynucleotides suitable for sensitive skin?
Polynucleotides are generally well-tolerated, including by clients with sensitive skin. Because they work in harmony with the body's own biology, adverse reactions are uncommon. We will assess your skin and medical history at your consultation to confirm suitability.
Can polynucleotides treat under-eye dark circles?
Yes. Polynucleotides are particularly effective in the under-eye area, improving the quality of delicate skin, reducing dark circles, and addressing crepiness. Multiple sessions are typically needed for the best results in this area.
Can polynucleotides be combined with other treatments?
Yes, polynucleotides work well alongside many other aesthetic treatments, including anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, and Profhilo. A combined approach can address multiple concerns at once. We will design a tailored plan at your consultation.
Who is not suitable for polynucleotide treatments?
Polynucleotide treatments are not recommended for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a known allergy to fish or salmon, have active skin infections in the treatment area, or have certain autoimmune conditions. We will review your medical history at consultation.
