Facial volumetry is a procedure that allows you to achieve natural effects, rejuvenate the appearance of the face, and emphasize its features while maintaining harmony and symmetry. This makes it possible to model the face with hyaluronic acid in a precise, controlled, and virtually painless manner.
Facial volumetry is an aesthetic medicine procedure aimed at shaping the contours of the face and restoring lost soft tissue volume without the use of a scalpel. The facial volumetry procedure involves the introduction of a special hyaluronic acid-based filler, which increases tissue volume, enhances the cheekbones, improves the oval of the face, and corrects proportions.

Facial volumetry treatment is recommended for patients who want to:
The treatment is particularly effective for people who have signs of facial volume loss as a result of aging, as well as for correcting asymmetry or minor irregularities in the face.
Indications for facial volumetry treatment:
A facial volumetry treatment is always preceded by a consultation with an aesthetic medicine doctor, who assesses the condition of the skin, tissue structure, and facial proportions. Then, an appropriate hyaluronic acid-based preparation is selected.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, most often using an anesthetic cream. The doctor uses a thin needle or cannula to administer the preparation to specific areas of the face, e.g., the cheekbones, jawline, chin, or temples.
The administration of hyaluronic acid may cause slight distension in the subcutaneous tissues, and after the procedure, slight swelling or redness may appear, which subsides within a few days. The procedure itself takes about 30–60 minutes and is virtually painless.
The volumetric effect usually lasts between 12 and 18 months. Factors such as the patient's metabolism, age, skin condition, and lifestyle have an impact on this.
To prolong the effects of the treatment, it is recommended to take proper care of your skin, stay hydrated, and avoid excessive sun exposure.
