Facial Volume Restoration (Volumetric Lift)

As skin ages it loses its natural 'scaffold' of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin, leading to flat or drooping cheeks, hollow temples, shadows and a blurred facial contour. This treatment restores lost volume by injecting cross-linked hyaluronic acid where it is needed — a volumetric lift that rebuilds support, fills folds and improves the oval of the face. Results are practically immediate and natural, lifting and refreshing the face. The effect typically lasts around 12 to 18 months.

With age the skin becomes increasingly prone to volume loss, gradually losing the natural scaffold formed by hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin and other compounds. Excessive dryness and reduced sebaceous-gland activity speed up this slackening. The signs are recognisable: drooping cheeks, flattening of the cheekbone and temple areas, folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth, loss of the fat pads above the brows, shadows on the face and a blurred facial contour. In these cases Medlift rebuilds the skin's support and restores volume using a volumetric lift — the injection of cross-linked hyaluronic acid into the deeper tissue, where its volume lifts and models the skin to give an effect similar in spirit to a surgical lift but without surgery. The same treatment also fills wrinkles and folds and improves the skin's hydration and nourishment. Because hyaluronic acid is a natural component of skin responsible for moisture, elasticity and shape, the result looks natural rather than overdone, and the contour of the face is improved while the skin becomes firmer and better hydrated. Treatment is planned individually after the doctor assesses your facial proportions, and a single session can produce a noticeable effect. The practice notes that results typically last around 12 to 18 months before the hyaluronic acid is gradually broken down. Suitability and contraindications are reviewed beforehand, and the treatment is avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
