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
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (Juvederm® family):
- 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.
What to Expect
Consultation
Your experience begins with a comprehensive consultation. We assess facial structure, proportions, and signs of aging to design a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment
Filler or Sculptra is administered with precision. Most sessions last 30–60 minutes. Results from HA fillers are immediate; Sculptra builds gradually over weeks.
Aftercare
Expect mild swelling or tenderness that resolves within a few days. Aftercare is simple and tailored to your treatment type.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between facial balancing and getting filler in one area?
Facial balancing takes a comprehensive approach to aesthetics. Instead of focusing on just one feature—like lips or cheeks—it evaluates how all features relate to each other. The goal is cohesive, natural enhancement that supports the overall facial structure, rather than isolated volume.
How long do results last?
It depends on the product used and the treatment area. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6–18 months, while biostimulators like Sculptra® gradually build collagen and can last up to two years. Your provider will walk you through what to expect based on your specific plan.
Is facial balancing painful?
Discomfort is generally minimal. We use topical numbing and gentle injection techniques to ensure your comfort. Most patients describe the experience as very tolerable, with only mild pressure or a pinch during treatment.
How much does facial balancing cost?
Because facial balancing is a highly customized treatment, pricing varies depending on the number of areas treated, the type and amount of product used, and the complexity of your plan. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear, personalized quote that reflects your goals and anatomy.
Can I go back to work after treatment?
Yes. Most patients return to their normal routine the same day or the next. You may notice mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising, but these effects are typically short-lived and can be concealed with makeup if needed.
Who performs the treatments?
All facial balancing treatments at Radiance Wellness are performed by licensed, medically trained providers with extensive experience in anatomy and aesthetics. You’re in expert hands with a team that values natural, thoughtful results.
