Restore Volume And Create A More Youthful Appearance
Sunken cheeks refer to a facial feature where the mid-face area, particularly the cheekbones and the area below them, appears hollow or indented. This can create a gaunt or aged appearance, as the loss of volume in the cheeks can affect the overall contour and fullness of the face. It occurs when there is minimal tissue between the mandible and the zygoma, which is the bony arch situated beneath the eye.
There are several factors that can contribute to sunken cheeks. Here are some known causes:
Glowwis offers a range of solutions tailored to meet your unique needs, providing natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Our MOH-certified doctor, Dr. Sam, will carefully select and apply the most suitable treatment according to your skin type, concerns, and goals.
Dermal fillers, often composed of substances like hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials, are injected into specific areas of the cheeks. These fillers add volume to the treated areas, effectively filling in hollow or sunken areas and restoring a more youthful and lifted appearance. Dr. Sam will tailor the treatment to the individual’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring a natural-looking and harmonious result.
At Glowwis, Collagen Skin Boosters like Lenisna & Aesthefil are another treatment option to treat sunken cheeks. When injected into the mid-face area, it aims to address volume loss in sunken cheeks. It is minimally invasive and involves a relatively quick procedure. Dr. Sam employs this treatment to yield natural-looking results, enhancing the contours of the face without leaving an overly artificial appearance.

Joann S2024-04-16Dr Sam listened patiently to my concerns and is detailed in explaining the different types of options I can chose for my concerns. Their numbing cream works fast and well- about 10-15min and I’m ready for the laser. Did not experience any pain during the pico and curas laser. Within 30 min, I’m ready to go. Staff is friendly and accommodating! Thumbs up ??
Jennifer Ghiam2024-04-12Dr Sam is a very friendly and honest doctor. He shared detailed of my skin problems patiently and offered solutions that suit my budget. I also did the pick and curos laser that helps pigmentation and tighten skin. Totally painless under his hands. Highly recommended.
Joeis Tan2024-04-12This was my very first time to an aesthetic clinic. I was first greeted by very friendly and cheerful staff when I entered the clinic. Dr Sam attended to me and I must say I’m so pleased with the whole experience! He rightfully pointed out my key areas of concern, and was very patient in explaining in detail the options available for me to treat those concerns I have. I was always hesitant about visiting aesthetic clinics as I have the impression that aesthetic clinics are all about hard selling but I was proven wrong here. Dr Sam presented me the available options I have and asked for me to think through before deciding. After careful consideration, I decided to go for all 3 laser treatments available (Pico laser, Q switch laser and CO2 laser) to tackle the pigmentation and dullness on my skin. The treatment process was absolutely pleasant - I was pretty nervous that the laser treatments would hurt but thankfully, Dr Sam was really skillful and professional that it didn’t even hurt a bit nor cause any discomfort. The initial results were pretty assuring - minimal redness and no swelling. I’m looking forward to witness the final results a couple of days later!
