Drooping cheeks, commonly referred to as 'hamsters', are a common symptom of ageing skin. As we age, facial fat moves downwards and collagen fibres lose their elasticity. The result? Changing facial features, loss of oval shape and a loss of self-confidence. Fortunately, there are effective ways to counteract these changes - both at home and modern aesthetic treatments.

What are hamster cheeks?
Hamster cheeks are areas of sagging skin and drooping fatty tissue in the lower face, most commonly appearing in people over 50 years of age. Loss of skin elasticity and the action of gravity lead to a reduction in facial features.

Why do sagging cheeks occur?
The most common causes are:
- natural ageing processes
- decrease in collagen and elastin levels
- hormonal changes
- inadequate skin care
- excessive sunbathing without UV protection
- weight loss in a short period of time.
Hamster cheeks - how to eradicate?
- Healthy diet
The first step in the fight against hamster cheeks is to change your eating habits. Focus on eating foods rich in protein, healthy fats and fibre. Avoid processed foods, sugar and salt, which can lead to water retention in the body.
- Regular physical activity
Exercise is important for maintaining a healthy weight and reducing body fat. Focus on cardio workouts such as running, swimming or cycling to help burn calories and improve metabolism. In addition, facial exercises such as facial yoga can help firm the skin.
- Facial massages
Facial massages are a great way to improve blood circulation and stimulate the skin. Massaging your cheeks regularly can help to break down fat and firm the skin. You can use special rollers or simply your fingers to do this.
- Hydration
Drinking enough water is essential for skin health. Water helps remove toxins from the body and prevents water retention, which can lead to facial puffiness.
- Professional treatments
If homemade methods do not work, it is worth considering professional combination therapies. One of these is the 4D Endolifting, available from Wellclinic Medical Clinic, which effectively helps to reduce hamster cheeks.
4D Fotona endolifting - a modern alternative to botox
Treatment of hamster cheeks - why is it worth it?
The 4D endolifting is a non-invasive, laser-based rejuvenation treatment available at Wellclinic, among others. Unlike a traditional facelift or botox, it does not require anaesthesia, a scalpel or convalescence. It uses four modes of action of the Fotona Dynamis SP Pro laser, working from both outside and inside the mouth.
Cheek lift without a scalpel - the effects of the procedure:
- reduction of "hamsters" and cheek lift
- smoothing of nasolabial furrows
- improvement of skin firmness and elasticity
- evenness of colour
- Smoothing of wrinkles and removal of fine scars.
Elimination of hamster cheeks - what does rejuvenation therapy for drooping cheeks look like?
Every protocol at Wellclinic is preceded by a thorough interview to obtain information on possible contraindications. We use the highest technology - 4D Endolifting is a guarantee of high quality and natural smoothing effect without interfering with the body.
The first step after starting the treatment is Endolifting. This stage involves the non-ablative action of the Er Yag laser inside the mouth. The aim of facial endolifting is to fill in nasolabial furrows, lift the cheeks and drooping areas of the face and increase the tension of the tissues treated with the laser.
The second stage is FraC3D, which is the action of laser beams on the deeper layers of the skin. During the formula, the heat emitted by the laser is neutralised by a special cooling system. The aim is to shallow fine wrinkles, improve skin quality, and even out skin tone.
This is followed by the Piano stage. It involves long exposure to the ND:Yag laser light to a depth of about 6 mm, causing deep facial thermolifting. The effect is to firm, thicken, improve the quality, condition and tone of the skin. As with FraC3D, the perceptible heat emitted during laser activity is neutralised by a special cooling system.
