Facial volume loss is a common skin concern that can be caused by ageing as well as other factors, changes in facial structure and volume are natural transitions experienced by many. Understanding how and why these changes occur is the first step in effective skin management. Below, we take a look at what causes these changes, the facial areas commonly affected by this concern, and the available treatment options we offer at our clinic.
Preventing facial volume loss involves a holistic approach that encompasses skincare, lifestyle choices and professional treatments. Adopting a consistent skincare routine with products containing retinoids and antioxidants can promote collagen production and skin elasticity, while maintain a healthy lifestyle and stay hydrated can contribute to overall skin health. Sun protection is crucial, as UV rays accelerate collagen breakdown. Non-invasive cosmetic procedures can also be used to restore lost volume in the face and prevent further volume loss.
The Greville Clinic offers complimentary consultations to help determine which facial volume loss treatments may be suitable for you and your skin. Contact us today to arrange a consultation for a time that suits you.
Some of the most common signs and symptoms of facial volume loss include:
• Sunken cheeks
• Hollow temples
• Under eye hollows
• Facial lines and wrinkles such as nasolabial folds or marionette lines
• Reduction in jawline definition
• Thinning lips
• General loss of facial fullness
As the face loses fat and bone support, the skin that sits over it has less to rest on. Treatment combines restoring support with improving the skin itself.
radiofrequency to firm the overlying skin tightens skin that has slackened as the support beneath it has reduced.
needling to thicken the skin improves the thickness and quality of skin that has become thin with volume loss.
rebuilding support in the cheek and midface is the direct treatment for volume loss, restoring the structure the face has lost.
bio-remodelling for hydration and elasticity improves skin quality across a whole area, which matters once the support beneath has been restored.
revitalisation for a tired complexion restores radiance where volume loss has left the face looking flat and drawn.
lifting the deeper support layer contracts the tissue that holds the midface up, which works alongside volume rather than replacing it.
Lumixa with LED light improves tone and clarity in skin that has lost its fullness.
hyaluron and collagen drinks support skin hydration from the inside and are often recommended between treatments.
Some of the most common facial areas where volume loss is experienced include:
Loss of volume affecting the face can occur due to a number of reasons, the most common being the natural ageing process. As a person ages, collagen within the skin that’s responsible for giving skin its elasticity begins to diminish, causing the skin to sag, form wrinkles and experience a loss of volume. The fat pads under the skin also grow smaller, which can contribute to sagging and volume loss.
Other causes of facial volume loss can include hormonal changes, environmental causes such as UV exposure and stress, and excessive dieting or exercise.
