volume loss; as we age, our bodies undergo various changes, including changes in our skin, muscles, bones, and fat distribution. One significant aspect of aging is volume loss, which can occur in several areas of the body, including the face.
-
1. Loss of Collagen & Elastin:
Collagen and elastin are proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin. As we age, the production of these proteins decreases, leading to a loss of skin firmness and resilience.
-
2. Decreased Fat Volume
Fat pads in the face diminish with age, leading to a loss of facial fullness and contour. This can result in sunken cheeks, hollowed temples, and deepening of under-eye hollows.
-
3. Bone Resorption
The bones of the face undergo changes with age, including a decrease in density and volume. This can contribute to changes in facial shape and structure, such as a receding chin or a more prominent appearance of the bony structures around the eyes.
-
4. Muscle Atrophy
Muscles in the face can weaken and atrophy over time, leading to a loss of facial tone and definition. This can contribute to sagging skin and the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
In the context of facial aging, volume loss refers to the depletion of fat, muscle, and bone density, leading to a loss of fullness and elasticity in the skin.
This can result in sagging, wrinkles, and a hollowed appearance in certain areas of the face.
Volume loss in the face can be addressed through various cosmetic procedures, which aim to restore lost volume and rejuvenate the appearance of the face. Additionally, non-invasive treatments such as laser therapy and radiofrequency can stimulate collagen production and improve skin tightness, helping to combat the effects of volume loss.
We offer Consultations + Treatment for Volume loss + Enhancement at our Burleigh Heads Clinics .
volume loss treatments
We can use these products in many areas of the face to mimic bone and fat loss such as cheek enhancements for added definition and light reflection paired with jawline enhancements to add structure to lower third of the face, as well as chin filler for projection to balance the nose to lip to chin ratios. When combined these treatments balance and harmonize the thirds of the face.
Other common areas can be lips, marionettes, hydrators, hands and earlobes. We only use dermal fillers that are made from Hyaluronic Acid, which are temporary and can be dissolved.
