Volumetrics is a procedure that shapes the oval of the face using hyaluronic acid. It involves the injection of a product under the skin that outlines the features and gives the jaw or cheekbones the desired shape. Volumetrics, like any procedure, comes with specific requirements. What is important to know before carrying out the procedure?

Facial volumetry - what should you know before the procedure?
What are the contraindications of volumetrics?
Facial volumetrics is a safe procedure, but not everyone should perform it. There is a reason why a Wellclinic doctor carries out a thorough procedure with each patient. When will facial volumetrics not be possible? Treatment cannot be undertaken by pregnant or breastfeeding women, people who are ill on autoimmune diseases, people prone to scarring, people with active herpes. We may also be excluded from the procedure if we are allergic to hyaluronic acid - this ingredient is the basis of the procedure. However, sensitisation is extremely rare - hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the human body and is therefore easily absorbed in most cases.

Does volumetrics hurt?
Contrary to appearances, volumetrics is not a painful procedure. The needle with which the skin is punctured is blunt. The slight sharpness minimises pain sensations and any swelling. In addition, the face is lubricated with an anaesthetic cream. The compilation of the cannula (needle) and the anaesthetic ensures that unpleasant sensations are avoided during the volumetric treatment.
How to prepare for facial volumetrics?
There are no major restrictions involved in undergoing facial volumetrics. The most important issue is medication. The intake of the medications in question must be made clear to the doctor, who will determine whether they must be discontinued before the procedure. Above all, patients should avoid tanning the skin, the use of saunas and the use of irritating cosmetics on the infected area before the modelling procedure. In addition, drinking alcohol on the day of facial volumetrics is prohibited.
How do I care for my face after volumetrics?
The doctor prepares the patient for facial care immediately after the procedure. Nevertheless, it is worth reading the recommendations beforehand. After facial volumetrics expression should be avoided and facial expressions limited for several hours. The injection sites should also not be massaged or touched. Such behaviour can lead to infection. The same applies to sunlight - it is recommended to avoid the sun, tanning beds and the use of saunas for 3 days after treatment.
