Facial Volume Loss
Facial Volume Loss
Face Concerns
Facial volume loss is a natural part of the ageing process, which can lead to a change in skin quality, increased skin laxity, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Causes and Signs of Facial Volume Loss
Facial volume loss, also referred to as facial fat atrophy, is the gradual reduction of subcutaneous fat and soft tissue in the face. This can be caused by several factors, including:
Ageing: Decreased collagen and elastin production, along with changes to fat pads, leads to reduced structural support and a change in skin firmness.
Genetics: Some individuals may experience more pronounced changes in facial volume due to their genetic makeup.
Sun Exposure: Prolonged UV exposure accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, affecting skin characteristics over time.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking and nutrition can contribute to accelerated changes in facial skin quality and volume.
Treatment Options for Facial Volume Loss
At our clinic, we offer various treatments to address facial volume loss and manage areas of concern:
Volumising Treatments: Injectable gels containing hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, help retain moisture. Administering these into areas of volume loss such as the cheeks, infraorbital region, and jawline can address volume depletion and manage facial contours.
Biostimulators: These injectable treatments are designed to support natural collagen production, gradually addressing skin texture and volume. These treatments help support the skin's structural characteristics over time.
