Face volumetry
Volumetrics (volumetric lift) is performed using hyaluronic acid.
The purpose of the procedure is to give the face the right shape and proportions, as well as to eliminate wrinkles and furrows. With the help of volumetry, we can restore the facial oval lost over the years, model the cheeks, jawline, chin, as well as shallow wrinkles, giving the face a young, fresh and healthy look. Volumetrics is a procedure that can be used by both women and men.
Why face volumetry?
Over time, a lot of changes take place in the skin of the face. Subcutaneous fat slowly disappears, especially around the temples, cheekbones, and the area of the nose and mouth. Hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen also decrease. The skin sags, becomes covered with wrinkles and furrows, and the face loses its former oval. Face volumetry allows you to achieve the desired contour of the face and reduces wrinkles, and also has an intense moisturizing effect. This effect is possible thanks to the use of thick, cross-linked hyaluronic acid.
Who is face volumetry for?
Volumetry is performed primarily for people who are dissatisfied with their oval and contour of the face in order to:
- correcting the oval of the face
- correction of the jawline
- enhancing and modeling the cheeks
- chin modeling
- reduce facial asymmetry
- Tissue defect restoration
The course of face volumetry
Before the procedure
Face volumetry is always preceded by a medical consultation. The doctor excludes any contraindications to the procedure and talks to the patient about the effects he would like to achieve. Then he selects the preparation and determines the method of its administration (injection technique). If no contraindications are found during the medical history, facial volumetry takes place during the same visit.
The course of the procedure
Volumetry begins with thorough cleansing and disinfection of the face. Then the doctor inserts a special cannula under the skin, through which he administers thick, cross-linked hyaluronic acid. It creates a kind of frame that lifts the tissues and allows them to be properly modeled. To evenly distribute the preparation, she then performs a gentle massage. This procedure is not particularly painful. However, at the patient’s request, the doctor may apply an anesthetic cream. The effect of face volumetry is visible almost immediately and lasts from 9 to 18 months. The duration of the procedure varies depending on the patient’s individual predispositions, but a single session usually lasts no longer than 30 minutes.
Face volumetry effect
Volumetry reverses the signs of skin aging resulting from the gradual loss of hyaluronic acid, allows you to give the face the desired shape and reduce possible asymmetries. Thanks to the hygroscopic properties of hyaluronic acid, the face also gains adequate hydration – all in a minimally invasive way, without surgical intervention. The effects are visible immediately after the procedure, but you should wait about 2 weeks for the full result – this is how long it takes for hyaluronic acid to integrate with the tissue.
Recommendations after facial volumetry
Volumetric treatments rarely cause side effects, but they can occur. After volumetry, swelling and redness of the face may persist for several days. Sometimes small bruises are also visible in the puncture areas. During this time, the patient should not use the swimming pool, sauna, solarium, expose their face to the sun or perform heavy physical work. Apart from these minor limitations, volumetry does not involve any convalescence. Immediately after the procedure, the patient can return to their daily activities.
