Volume Loss

Volume Loss
  • Description

    Volume loss in the face is caused by decreased collagen, elastin, and fat, resulting in sagging skin and loss of facial contours, often accelerated by factors like sun exposure and smoking. Treatment options include dermal fillers and collagen-stimulating procedures to restore volume and rejuvenate facial appearance.

  • Cause

    Volume loss in the face is primarily caused by the natural aging process, which involves the depletion of collagen, elastin, and fat over time. Additionally, factors such as sun exposure, smoking, genetics, and lifestyle habits can accelerate this process. As these supportive structures diminish, the skin loses its elasticity and firmness, leading to sagging, hollowed areas, and a loss of youthful facial contours.

  • Treatment

    Fillers: Hyaluronic acid fillers including Restylane, and Juvederm, are all treatment options for volumizing and refreshing your skin and face.

    Sculptra: Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid stimulator for collagen formation. This filler is injected within the deep dermis where it helps to create both volume and structure over some time. The microparticles of Sculptra are slowly absorbed over a couple of weeks to months allowing for a gradual increase in volume that appears natural and lasts months to years.
