    Wrinkles on the cheeks can be improved by a deep filler such as calcium hydroxide apatite fillers, called Radiesse, or hyaluronic acid-based fillers that are crosslinked, such as Voluma. Microneedling can help with fine lines and fine wrinkles. In addition, treatments with lasers that use C02 can help improve wrinkles on your cheeks.
