What is profile balancing and how does it work?

Profile balancing is a cosmetic treatment aimed at creating a harmonious and proportionate facial profile. It typically involves the use of fillers to enhance areas such as the jawline, nose, chin, and cheeks. By adjusting these features, profile balancing helps achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial appearance.

What areas of the face can be treated with profile balancing?

Profile balancing can address various areas of the face, including the jawline, nose, chin, and cheeks. For example, profile balancing for the jawline can create a more defined look, while balancing the nose and chin can enhance facial symmetry. Cheek enhancements can add volume and contour to the mid-face.

How is profile balancing different from other facial treatments?

Unlike other facial treatments that may focus on a single area, profile balancing considers the overall harmony of the face. Non-surgical profile balancing uses dermal fillers to create a cohesive look by treating multiple areas simultaneously, ensuring that each feature complements the others for a well-balanced profile.

What are the benefits of profile balancing?

The benefits of profile balancing include improved facial symmetry, enhanced definition of the jawline and chin, and a more harmonious overall appearance. This treatment can boost confidence by addressing specific concerns and achieving a more proportionate facial profile without the need for invasive surgery.

How long do the results of profile balancing last?

The results of profile balancing typically last between 9 to 18 months, depending on the type of fillers used and individual factors like metabolism. Regular maintenance sessions can help sustain the desired look.

Is profile balancing safe?

Profile balancing is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified professional. The procedure uses FDA-approved dermal fillers. However, as with any cosmetic treatment, there are potential risks and side effects, such as swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site. It is essential to choose an experienced practitioner to minimise these risks.

What should I expect during a profile balancing procedure?

During a profile balancing procedure, the practitioner will first assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals. The treatment involves applying a numbing cream to minimize discomfort, followed by precise injections of fillers into the targeted areas. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, and results are visible immediately.

Can profile balancing be combined with other treatments?

Yes, profile balancing can be combined with other cosmetic treatments to enhance overall results. For instance, combining profile balancing with treatments like Botox can address both static and dynamic wrinkles. Dr Goziem will always develop a personalised treatment plan that meets your needs.

Who is a good candidate for profile balancing?

Good candidates for profile balancing are individuals seeking to improve facial symmetry and proportion without undergoing surgery. Ideal candidates have specific concerns, such as a weak chin, undefined jawline, or imbalanced nose and cheeks. It's important to have realistic expectations and consult with a qualified practitioner to determine if this procedure is suitable for you.
