Our Facial Balancing Treatment Options
Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin)
Overactive muscles in the brows, forehead, or lower face can create a tension-driven imbalance that makes features appear asymmetrical. Neuromodulators temporarily relax targeted muscles, softening their pull and allowing the face to return to a more balanced resting position.
Your provider may recommend one or a combination of the following:
- Botox Cosmetic: precise, well-established neuromodulator for targeted muscle relaxation
- Dysport: preferred for areas requiring broader diffusion or faster onset
- Jeuveau: a modern aesthetic neuromodulator designed for natural-looking results
- Xeomin: a purified neuromodulator option, free of unnecessary accessory proteins
How These Treatments Work:
Neuromodulators block the nerve signals responsible for muscle contraction in the treated area. By selectively relaxing overactive muscles, they reduce the pull that contributes to asymmetry and allow more balanced movement across the face.
Best For:
- Uneven brow position or forehead tension
- Lower face imbalance
- Softening expression patterns without adding volume
- Subtle realignment ahead of or alongside filler treatment
Results:
- Results develop over 3–7 days; full effect within 2 weeks
- Lasts 3–4 months on average; timing varies by patient
- Minimal to no downtime; mild redness at injection sites may occur
- May be combined with fillers for comprehensive balancing
Dermal Fillers
Fillers are used in facial balancing to restore or create proportional relationships between features. Placement focuses on balancing the cheeks, chin, jawline, and lips to improve how the features relate to one another.
Available filler options include Evolysse, Juvederm, Versa/Lips+, and Restylane, which your provider selects based on anatomy, treatment area, and desired outcome.
How Dermal Fillers Work:
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers attract and retain water, adding precise volume to support your features. Fillers integrate with tissue naturally and can be adjusted over time.
Best For:
- Facial asymmetry related to uneven volume distribution
- An undefined chin or jawline
- Sunken cheeks
- Smaller lips
Results:
- Visible improvement immediately; final result settles within 2 weeks
- Lasts 9–18 months, depending on product and treatment area
- Mild swelling or bruising is possible and often resolves within days
- Can be staged over multiple appointments for gradual refinement
Biostimulators (Sculptra Aesthetic & Hyperdilute Radiesse)
Biostimulators stimulate the body's collagen production to strengthen and restore the face's underlying framework over time. Sculptra and Hyperdilute Radiesse are ideal for patients with diffuse volume loss, early laxity, or those who want long-term improvement that evolves naturally rather than appearing abruptly.
How These Treatments Work:
Sculptra delivers poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates collagen production in the dermis over time. Hyperdilute Radiesse uses a diluted form of calcium hydroxylapatite to improve skin quality and firmness by stimulating collagen production. Both approaches produce gradual, progressive results that improve with each treatment session and continue to evolve for several months.
Best For:
- Early or diffuse volume loss
- Reducing dependence on frequent filler treatments
- Preventative or maintenance-focused facial balancing
- Mild laxity affecting the foundational facial structure
Results:
- Results develop gradually over 3–6 months as collagen builds
- Sculptra results typically last 2+ years; Radiesse effects last 12–18 months
- Minimal downtime; mild swelling may occur temporarily
- Often used as part of a multi-session series for optimal outcomes

Frequently Asked Questions
Regular filler treatments often target a single feature like lips, cheeks, or under-eyes. Facial balancing takes a comprehensive view of the entire face, assessing how each area relates to the others before recommending treatment.
Facial balancing is appropriate for patients who feel that their features look asymmetrical, disconnected, or disproportionate, whether due to natural anatomy or changes from aging. It is also well-suited for patients who are unhappy with previous injectable work.
Facial balancing is often approached as a staged process rather than a single session. Depending on your concerns and the modalities used, a plan may involve two to four treatments over several months. Collagen-stimulating treatments like Sculptra require a series of sessions to achieve optimal results, while neuromodulators may be adjusted at follow-up appointments to refine the outcome.
Effective facial balancing should be difficult to identify as a cosmetic treatment. The goal is results that make the face appear more natural and cohesive, not treated or exaggerated. Providers at It Aesthetix use conservative dosing, precise placement, and staged approaches specifically to avoid results that draw attention to the treatment rather than the person.
Downtime is generally minimal. Neuromodulators involve little to no downtime, while fillers may cause mild swelling or bruising for a few days. Biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse also have minimal recovery.
Yes. Facial balancing often works best in combination with other treatments such as skin resurfacing, collagen stimulation, or preventative care. Providers may recommend a layered plan that addresses both facial structure and skin quality for more comprehensive and lasting results.
