Dermal Filler — Facial Volumetry

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to restore volume and definition where the face has flattened with age — cheeks, chin, jawline and the folds running from nose to mouth. Rather than simply filling individual lines, the physician plans volumetry across the face so proportions stay balanced. Pricing is per millilitre of filler and depends on the product chosen, with the full plan agreed before treatment begins.

Facial volumetry uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel to replace the deep volume that is gradually lost from the cheeks, temples, chin and jawline with age. Because that loss of structural volume is what drives sagging and deepening folds, restoring it in the right places is often associated with a more refreshed appearance than treating lines in isolation. At Klinika LA Beauty the physician assesses the face as a whole and proposes a plan, choosing from a range of hyaluronic acid products and pricing each millilitre according to the filler used. 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 results are commonly associated with a duration of around nine to eighteen months depending on product and area before the gel is naturally broken down. A practical safety feature of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase should an adjustment ever be wanted. Volumetry suits adults noticing flattening of the cheeks, a less defined jaw or chin, or deepening nasolabial and marionette folds; suitability is confirmed at consultation.
