Restoring lost facial volume
As we age, the face can gradually lose volume and structure. A volume-restoration treatment is a non-surgical option that, where a practitioner assesses it to be appropriate, may help restore contour and support to areas such as the cheeks, chin, jawline, temples, tear troughs and lips. Suitability, options and what to expect are discussed at your individual consultation.
Where deemed suitable after assessment, this treatment may help soften the appearance of volume loss and support your natural features.
Treatment time, if deemed suitable after a consultation has been performed: 45–50 mins.
How it works
The treatment works by restoring support and structure to areas that have lost volume, which may help soften folds and refresh facial contours. Your practitioner will explain the approach, and whether it may be suitable for you, at consultation. Individual results vary.

Treatment preparation

Follow-up appointment
A follow-up appointment is recommended 2 weeks after the treatment to ensure you are happy with the results and that optimum results have been achieved. During the follow-up, pictures are taken to compare results with the before pictures. We also book your next appointment in 4–6 months' time so you can maintain your results.
