Dermal Filler — Facial Volumetry (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to restore volume and definition where the face has flattened with age — cheeks, jawline, chin and the folds running from nose to mouth. Rather than only filling lines, the clinic plans volumetry across the face so proportions stay balanced. A range of HA brands is offered and priced per millilitre, and hyaluronidase is available to dissolve filler if an adjustment is ever wanted.

Facial volumetry uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel to replace deep volume that is gradually lost from the cheeks, temples, jawline and chin with age. Because that volume loss is associated with sagging and deepening folds, restoring it in the right places often does more for a refreshed look than treating individual lines. At MediArt Clinic the physician assesses the face as a whole and proposes a plan, choosing from several hyaluronic acid systems — Neauvia Organic, Teoxane and the Teoxane RHA range, and Stylage — with a calcium-hydroxyapatite option (Stimulate) for firmer structural support. Numbing cream is applied and most fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort. The gel is placed with a 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. A practical safety advantage of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which the clinic offers should you wish to reverse or adjust a result. Volumetry is suited to adults noticing flattening of the cheeks, a less defined jaw or chin, or deepening nasolabial and marionette folds; the exact product and quantity are agreed at consultation.
