Dermal Fillers & Facial Volumetry

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to soften folds and restore volume where the face has flattened with age — the nasolabial folds, cheeks, chin and jawline, as well as the backs of the hands. At DermaDerm the doctor plans volumetry across the face so proportions stay balanced rather than simply filling individual lines. Treatments range from a single fold correction to a full-face volumetry or a more comprehensive Skin Lift plan, using established fillers such as Restylane and Croma.

Facial volumetry with dermal fillers uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel to replace volume that is gradually lost from the cheeks, temples, chin and jawline with age, and to soften the folds that deepen as a result. Because that underlying volume loss is what drives much of facial ageing, restoring it in the right places often does more for a refreshed appearance than treating lines in isolation. At DermaDerm the physician assesses the face as a whole and proposes a plan — from a single nasolabial fold or chin correction up to a structured full-face volumetry or the clinic's more extensive Skin Lift approach. Numbing cream is applied first and most fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort. The gel is placed with a fine needle or a blunt cannula depending on the area; results are visible immediately and continue to settle over one to two weeks as any initial swelling resolves. Mild swelling, tenderness or small bruises are normal for a few days. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last from several months up to around eighteen months depending on the product and the area treated before the gel is gradually broken down by the body. The clinic uses recognised brands including Restylane, Croma and the longer-lasting Algeness, and can also rejuvenate the backs of the hands where volume loss makes tendons and veins more prominent. A key safety feature of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved if an adjustment is ever wanted. Volumetry suits adults noticing flattening of the cheeks, a less defined jaw or chin, or deepening nasolabial folds; suitability is reviewed by the doctor at consultation.
