How to naturally fill hollow cheeks?
Hollow cheeks can make you look tired or stressed, even when you're not. At HANLOE Paris, we take a different approach: we don't "fill" hollow cheeks, we rebalance their volume . The secret? Working on skin density, microcirculation, facial biomechanics, and deep hydration.
Why do cheeks become hollow?
Understanding the mechanisms behind hollow cheeks allows us to adopt truly effective and natural solutions, far removed from empty promises or temporary illusions.
Decreased skin density
After age 30, collagen production gradually declines. The skin then loses its density, thickness, and elasticity. This creates a "flatness" under the cheekbone, giving the impression of hollow cheeks.
Melting of the subcutaneous fat pad
Rapid weight loss, chronic stress, profound fatigue… These factors literally empty the cheeks. The goal is then to allow the area to rest , nourish it, and boost its microcirculation.
Muscle hypertension
Yes, some overly contracted muscles can create hollows in the cheeks. When the masseter or zygomatic muscles pull too hard, the skin flattens and volume is lost. Relaxing and intelligently strengthening the muscles results in a natural shape.
Insufficient lymphatic drainage
Slow circulation creates shadows, slight sagging, and a "depleted" appearance. Improving drainage is essential to restore shape.
Why traditional solutions don't work
Oils alone do not plump the skin.
They nourish but do not rebuild tissue density or the deep structure of the skin.
Non-targeted massages can worsen the hollow
A massage that is too forceful or poorly directed can excessively drain the area and accentuate the “hollow cheek” effect.
Anti-wrinkle creams are not enough
They act mainly on the surface. To plump up, you need to densify the skin deep down .
Hanloé Method: Plumping hollow cheeks with a holistic approach
The goal is not to artificially inflate the cheeks, but to rebalance facial volume through expert treatments, targeted techniques and improved biomechanics.
1. To strengthen skin density and thickness
To naturally plump the skin, you need to restore its internal structure. The most suitable Hanloé treatments:
- Photo-Renew : renewal, density, unified texture.
- Prebiotic Cloud : strengthened microbiome = stronger, thicker skin.
- Hydra-Balance : deep hydration, immediate plumping effect.
Result: the cheeks regain volume, softness and suppleness .
2. Boost microcirculation: the “full cheek” effect
Every morning:
- slide from the nasolabial fold towards the temple;
- tap your cheekbones for 15 seconds;
- drain the jaw towards the ears.
These gestures restore light and shape.
3. Rebalance the facial muscles
A simple exercise to practice daily:
- smile slightly (without forcing it);
- place your fingers on your cheekbones;
- pull the skin towards the temples;
- Hold for 5 seconds, repeat 10 times.
This repositions the volume in the upper part of the cheeks.
4. Daily SPF: the key to staying put
The sun accelerates collagen loss and accentuates shadows under the cheekbones. Hanloé SPF 50 effectively protects the facial structure.
A complete routine to naturally fill hollow cheeks

Mistakes to avoid when you have hollow cheeks
- Losing weight too quickly: The face is the first to "empty".
- Massaging too hard can excessively drain the area.
- Use only oils. They nourish but do not thicken.
- Neglecting SPF: The sun accelerates collagen breakdown.
- Overworking the masseter muscles (stress, chewing gum, bruxism) → hollowed effect.
Conclusion: filling naturally means rebuilding
Hollow cheeks don't disappear by applying a thick cream. They plump up when you strengthen the skin , boost microcirculation , balance the muscles , and protect the facial structure .
With Hanloé's natural, botanical, expert approach, you will find fuller cheeks, a harmonious face, and a visibly more rested expression.
