Chin Shadow Treatment with Subcision at Colorado Beauty RN

Why You Need It:

This treatment smooths out wrinkles and softens the often harsh appearance of the lower face. It minimizes the appearance of jowling and improves lower face shadows. Subcision is a simple and safe procedure that can release tethers and stimulate collagen and elastin production. During this treatment, a blunt cannula is inserted under the skin and moved back and forth to release fibrotic strands and form new connective tissue. Sometimes Botox/Jeuveau and/or Filler are also necessary for optimal results, depending on anatomy.
Performed by aesthetic injectors who will keep you looking natural and refreshed.

Injections may feel like a light pinching sensation or pressure. Most patients report a 2 out of 10 level of discomfort.
We use injectable lidocaine to numb during this procedure so your mouth will feel numb for an hour or so after the appointment.
Bruising can occur.

Appointment Length:
- 30 minutes.
Frequency of Treatment:
- Every 6 months for optimal results.
Downtime:
- You may experience redness, tenderness, swelling, and bruising for a few days. Most people are comfortable with their appearance and are happy to leave the clinic and resume normal activities.

You may take Acetaminophen/Tylenol if you experience any mild tenderness/discomfort.
You may apply ice wrapped in a cloth to help reduce swelling.
Anytime a needle is introduced to the skin, there is a possibility of bruising. You may apply Arnica topically or take Arnica tablets orally to help decrease the amount of bruising.
Avoid aerobic and strenuous exercise for the rest of the day to minimize bruising.
