Facial Balancing

The Experience: Facial Balancing is an intentional approach to dermal fillers designed to harmonize and enhance your natural features. Small amounts of filler (up to 1.5 syringes in total) are placed strategically to restore natural volume loss, correct symmetry, and refine the contours of your face. This includes lifting cheeks, defining the jawline, and achieving a more balanced look. Our method prioritizes subtle, tailored enhancements over time, ensuring a refreshed and natural aesthetic without the risk of overfilling.

For Best Results: Pair with our 3 sessions of microneedling to enhance overall skin texture and collagen production

Frequently Asked Questions

Facial Balancing includes up to 1.5 cc (or 1.5 syringes) of dermal filler or biostimulatory filler per session. The product is placed strategically in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, or chin to restore balance, correct symmetry, and refine contours. This approach ensures subtle, refreshed, and natural results without the risk of overfilling.

Our providers’ expertise is what truly sets our facial balancing apart. As specialists in facial anatomy, they understand how to achieve significant, natural-looking results using a minimal amount of product. Rather than just filling lines, we make precise, strategic adjustments that restore harmony to your entire face, ensuring you look refreshed and balanced, never overdone. This “less is more” approach is combined with expert skincare guidance, because great structure deserves great skin. The entire experience is a collaborative partnership focused on enhancing your unique beauty.

Facial Balancing generally requires little to no downtime. Most guests resume normal activities, including work, right after their session. Some swelling or mild bruising may occur, depending on the areas treated; however, these effects are typically short-lived and can be covered with light makeup.

You’ll notice an immediate improvement in contour and symmetry after treatment. Some swelling may temporarily mask the final result, but this usually subsides within a few days. The most refined outcome is typically visible around 1–2 weeks post-treatment.

Results typically last 9 to 18 months, depending on your metabolism and the products used. Most clients return once a year for a maintenance treatment, which is ideal for preserving your natural, balanced results.

We use a prescription-strength topical numbing agent to maximize comfort. While you may feel slight pressure or a pinching sensation during injections, most clients report minimal discomfort. Mild tenderness can occur for a few days after, but it improves quickly. Please get in touch with us immediately if you experience sharp pain or unusual skin discoloration.

  • Avoid treatment if you are currently ill, recently vaccinated, or have had dental work within the past 2 weeks.
  • To reduce bruising risk, avoid alcohol, aspirin, and NSAIDs (Advil, Aleve, Motrin) for 24 hours before and after treatment.
  • Arnica or Bromelain (started 2+ days prior) may help minimize bruising. Always consult your physician before adding supplements.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are not candidates for this treatment.

You may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising, but these symptoms are expected to improve over the course of a few days. Makeup may be applied the same day if desired.

Avoid the following:

  • Vigorous exercise for 24 hours.
  • Facials or facial massages for 7 days.
  • Dental work or vaccines for 2 weeks before or after treatment.
  • Aspirin and NSAIDs may increase bruising. (Tylenol is safe for soreness.)
  • Excessive salt or alcohol can increase swelling.

Our philosophy is refined, not overfilled. Facial Balancing is about creating harmony with your natural features, not altering them. By using small amounts of filler placed strategically (up to 1.5 syringes per session), we achieve natural enhancement while maintaining your unique look. Treatments are carefully spaced and tailored to your specific goals, ensuring subtle yet lasting results.

There’s no “one-size-fits-all” age. Many people seek Facial Balancing in their mid-20s to 30s when early volume loss or asymmetries become more noticeable, while others begin later. During your CONTŌR Consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan that fits your features, age, and goals.

Our injectors have over 5 years of aesthetic experience, and our skincare experts have received 2 years or more of professional training. Both skill and a deep understanding of facial harmony guide every treatment.

Most injectables, including Facial Balancing, are not suitable during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Some treatments, such as modified Aquagold facials, can be adjusted to be pregnancy-safe with the approval of an OB/GYN. We recommend waiting until after the postpartum period for filler-based balancing.

Cancellations or no-shows that occur with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a $150 fee out of respect for our providers’ time.

We do not accept gratuity for in-clinic treatments. Instead, the best way to show appreciation is by leaving us a Google review:
