Lower cheek wrinkles
Lower cheek wrinkles are the lines we get on the lower part of the cheek, that normally get worse during facial animation such as speaking or laughing. These lines are normally associated with more advanced degrees of sun damage and whilst we can sometimes use facial fillers to lessen their appearance, the best approach is normally to use laser resurfacing to treat the underlying skin damage.

The most effective treatment for lines on the lower cheek is usually laser resurfacing treatment. In the earlier stages, where the lines are minor and the overall condition of the skin is reasonably good, a fractional laser treatment like the Halo laser may be enough. In the most advanced cases however full field resurfacing may be the best option. This involves using the laser to remove the entire surface of the skin, allowing it to heal in a more youthful way with fewer lines, wrinkles and other signs of sun damage. Laser treatments are normally performed by all of our non-surgical doctors including Dr Darren McKeown and Dr Rhona Cameron.
Treatments
Full laser resurfacingWhen the lines are a little less deep
When the lines are a little less deep – or when a less dramatic change is desired – then a fractional laser like the Halo laser can help. This patient had a single session of Halo laser which has created a nice improvement in her lines and wrinkles. The Halo laser is often combined with some Broad Band Light (BBL) for even more impressive skin rejuvenation.

Common Questions
What are the benefits?
Many patients are apprehensive about the prospect of undergoing laser treatments. With laser treatments however we are not changing the face, simply restoring the health of the skin to create a healthier and more youthful complexion – free from the signs of sun damage.
Which anaesthetic is used?
When we perform a fractional laser treatment we typically use some numbing cream and cold air to soothe the skin. When performing full field laser resurfacing, we perform this under local anaesthetic.
What's the downtime?
After a Halo laser you typically need 5 – 7 days for redness and swelling to settle. With full field resurfacing you typically need 10 – 14 days for the initial healing to take place, although it can take several months for the redness to fade completely.
When will I see results?
You will normally see the results within the first week or two as your skin heals. However, the results of laser tend to evolve and improve over the first two or three months following treatment.
