Facial balancing is a customized aesthetic treatment that enhances the proportions between the upper, mid, and lower thirds of the face. Rather than isolating one area—like the lips or cheeks—it evaluates how each feature complements the others. This high-level aesthetic strategy blends anatomy, artistry, and individualized care to create natural-looking, cohesive results.
What Is Facial Balancing?
“It’s not about chasing lines or chasing age. It’s about understanding the face as a whole and making sure all the elements work together in harmony.”
—Megan
Owner and Lead Practitioner
Understanding Facial Thirds
- Upper Third: Temples, forehead, brows, and the area between the eyes
- Mid Third: Nose, underyes, midface, lateral cheeks
- Lower Third: Lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin, chin shadows, jawline, and jaw angle
By analyzing the relationship between these zones, we create treatment plans that elevate facial harmony. For example:
- A patient requesting lip filler may benefit from subtle chin support to balance projection.
- Midface volume loss can exaggerate under-eye hollowing. Restoring support in the cheeks can reduce tiredness without touching the tear trough.
- Hollow temples, if untreated, can disrupt the silhouette between the brow and cheek. Addressing temple volume smooths transitions and enhances facial flow.
How Hyaluronic Acid Fillers and Biostimulators Are Used
- Cheeks & Midface: Voluma® to restore lift and volume
- Jawline & Chin: Volux™ or Voluma for definition and structure
- Temples: Voluma® to correct hollowing
- Nasolabial folds: Vollure™ or Ultra Plus for subtle volume
- Lips: Volbella® for soft enhancement; Ultra® for fuller lips
Biostimulators:
- Sculptra®: Stimulates collagen production over time to restore facial volume and improve skin texture, especially useful in larger treatment zones like the temples or midface.
Each product is chosen based on its properties, including viscosity, cohesivity, and integration with tissue, ensuring a result that looks and feels natural.

Filler or Sculptra is administered with precision. Most sessions last 30–60 minutes. Results from HA fillers are immediate; Sculptra builds gradually over weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many facial balancing sessions will I need?
Most clients achieve their desired look in a single session, though some benefit from a gradual approach with touch-ups or enhancements over several months. Your provider will design a plan that aligns with your goals and ensures natural, harmonious results.
Is facial balancing painful?
Discomfort is minimal. We apply a topical numbing cream and use gentle injection techniques to ensure comfort throughout the process. Most clients describe the experience as quick and very tolerable, with only mild pressure or a slight pinch.
When will I see results?
You’ll notice immediate improvement in facial harmony and contour right after treatment. Hyaluronic acid fillers provide instant lift and volume, while biostimulators like Sculptra® continue to build collagen and refine results over time.
Can facial balancing be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Facial balancing pairs beautifully with BOTOX®, microneedling, Sculptra®, or skin rejuvenation treatments like BBL to enhance tone, texture, and lift. Your provider will recommend the best combination for balanced, long-lasting results.
Is facial balancing safe for all skin types?
Yes. Facial balancing is safe for most skin types and tones when performed by experienced, medically trained providers. All treatments at Radiance Wellness are performed by licensed professionals with a deep understanding of facial anatomy and natural aesthetics.
How much does a facial balancing treatment cost?
Because facial balancing is highly customized, pricing varies based on the number of areas treated, the type and amount of filler or biostimulator used, and your personalized treatment plan.
During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear, tailored quote that reflects your goals and anatomy.
