Volumetric lifting is a non-invasive method of rejuvenating, in which hyaluronic acid is used to add volume and thus improve the elasticity of the skin. It allows for modelling such parts of the face as the nose, chin or cheeks, as well as for contouring the cheekbones, jawline, or giving the entire face a desired shape. The effects, both in women and men, are immediate and can last up to two years.
Indications:
- Aesthetic reasons.
How to prepare for the procedure:
- A medical consultation is required, which can be carried out on the day of the procedure
- A few days prior refrain from taking aspirin and other anticoagulants.
- A topical anesthetic cream is applied 30 minutes before the procedure.
Procedure description and effects:
- The treatment aims to restore facial volume, improve skin firmness and give a spectacular effect of rejuvenation. The face looks more radiant, has better proportions, and its shape is more pronounced.
- Injections introduce a product consisting of hyaluronic acid into problem areas, which gives the skin a volume boost.
- The treatment is carried out once, but the effects last up to several months, so it is recommended to repeat the procedure.
After the procedure:
- The patient can immediately return to their daily activities.
- Up to 72 hours after the procedure the patient may experience swelling and tingling in the treated areas. Visible changes can be covered up with makeup.
- Saunas, sunbeds and tanning should be avoided.
