Facial volume loss refers to the gradual reduction in the natural fullness and firmness of the face over time. As we age, our skin’s collagen and elastin production decreases, leading to a decrease in facial fat and bone density. This can result in a sunken or hollow appearance, making wrinkles and lines more prominent. Common areas affected include the cheeks, temples, under eyes, and jawline. Facial volume loss can contribute to an aged and tired look. Thankfully, various cosmetic treatments can help restore volume, enhance contours, and achieve a more youthful appearance.
Types of Facial Volume Loss
Cheek Hollowing
This is characterized by a loss of volume in the mid-face region, leading to sunken cheeks and a flatter appearance.
Under Eye Hollows
Volume loss under the eyes can create dark circles and a tired look
Temple Hollowing
Loss of volume in the temples can result in a sunken appearance in the upper sides of the face.
Nasolabial Folds
Volume loss in this area can lead to deep creases between the nose and the corners of the mouth.
Marionette Lines
These lines appear from the corners of the mouth to the chin due to volume loss in the lower face.
Jawline Sagging
Volume loss in the jaw area can contribute to sagging jowls and a less defined jawline.
Conditions We Treat
Causes of Facial Volume Loss
The natural aging process leads to a decrease in collagen and elastin production, which are essential proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin. As a result, the skin loses its firmness and begins to sag, leading to facial volume loss.
Over time, the fat pads in the face can diminish or shift, particularly in the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. This loss of fat contributes to hollowed or sunken areas, causing a loss of facial volume.
Aging can also lead to changes in bone density and structure in the face. Bone resorption, or the loss of bone mass, can result in changes to the facial structure, making it appear less voluminous.
Excessive sun exposure can accelerate the aging process and lead to collagen and elastin breakdown. UV radiation can also cause skin damage, such as wrinkles and fine lines, which contribute to the appearance of facial volume loss.
Our Facial Volume Treatment Approach
Following this in-depth evaluation, we craft a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. This plan may encompass a combination of cutting-edge techniques, including FDA-approved dermal fillers enriched with hyaluronic acid. These fillers play a pivotal role in restoring lost volume, plumping sagging skin, and softening bothersome wrinkles, ultimately rejuvenating your appearance. To ensure long-lasting results and a gradual enhancement of your facial volume, we may also recommend collagen stimulators. These stimulators encourage your skin’s natural collagen production, progressively enhancing volume over time.
At Dermatology in Edmonton, our skilled practitioners prioritize the precise administration of treatments to ensure that results are not only effective but also appear natural, avoiding any over-correction. We firmly believe in the philosophy of gradual enhancements, empowering you to adjust your appearance over time. This approach guarantees a harmonious and balanced outcome, allowing you to regain youthful facial contours and confidence, all while maintaining a refreshed and naturally beautiful look.
