Facial balancing is an injectable treatment designed to enhance overall facial harmony rather than focusing on a single feature. Instead of treating isolated lines or areas, this treatment evaluates how the face’s features relate to one another and uses carefully placed injectables to create proportion, symmetry, and balance. At SkinPerfected, facial balancing treatments are customized using dermal fillers and neuromodulators to support natural-looking results that complement your facial structure. Patients regularly visit our Woodridge and Hinsdale offices for personalized treatment, including those traveling from Naperville, La Grange, and Downers Grove.
What Is Facial Balancing?
Facial balancing is an advanced injectable technique that focuses on improving facial proportions rather than altering one specific feature. This treatment considers the relationship between the cheeks, lips, chin, jawline, and lower face, as well as how these areas change with movement and expression. By addressing subtle imbalances throughout the face, this treatment can enhance symmetry, restore structural support, and improve overall aesthetics. The goal is not to make individual features stand out, but to create a cohesive, refreshed look that still feels like you.
How Facial Balancing Works
Facial balancing works by strategically using dermal fillers, and in some cases neuromodulators, to support facial structure and soften areas of imbalance. Hyaluronic acid fillers are often placed in areas such as the cheeks, chin, jawline, temples, or lips to improve contour and proportion, while neuromodulators may be used to relax muscles that disrupt balance through excessive movement. Each treatment plan is developed based on facial anatomy, natural bone structure, soft tissue distribution, and individual goals. Small, precise adjustments are made to ensure results appear smooth, balanced, and natural.
Facial Concerns and Conditions Addressed with Facial Balancing
Many patients seeking facial balancing are not looking to change how they look, but to address subtle imbalances that affect overall facial harmony. This treatment may be appropriate for patients who feel that one feature appears disproportionate to others, who notice asymmetry between the left and right sides of the face, or who think their profile lacks definition or support.
It is also ideal for patients experiencing age-related volume loss, changes in jawline definition, or midface flattening. Facial balancing focuses on restoring balance rather than chasing individual wrinkles or lines.
Facial Balancing Treatment Process
Facial balancing treatments are performed during an in-depth consultation and injectable session. Your provider will evaluate your facial structure from multiple angles and discuss your goals before developing a personalized treatment plan. Treatment time varies depending on the areas addressed, but most sessions are completed within 30 to 60 minutes.
Results from dermal fillers are visible immediately, with continued improvement as swelling subsides over the following days. Neuromodulator results develop gradually over two weeks. Downtime is minimal, and most patients return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
Facial Balancing vs. Single-Area Treatment
While treating a single area can be effective in some cases, facial balancing takes a broader approach by considering how all facial features interact. Treating one area alone may sometimes exaggerate imbalance elsewhere, whereas facial balancing aims to create proportion across the entire face. Some patients benefit from facial balancing as a comprehensive treatment, while others incorporate it gradually over multiple visits. Your provider will guide you toward the most appropriate approach based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Facial Balancing?
Good candidates for facial balancing include patients who want natural-looking enhancement rather than dramatic change and who are interested in improving facial symmetry, proportion, or structure. Patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about injectable results. Because facial balancing is highly customized, a consultation is essential to determine candidacy and design a treatment plan that aligns with your facial anatomy and long-term goals.
