Volume Loss

Wrinkles and hyperpigmentation tend to take up most of the anti-aging conversation. But volume loss is a crucial factor in premature changes to your face. We lose some of the roundness of our faces as the years pass, which leads to the skin sagging and lines forming.

Adding volume and stimulating future collagen production is possible with a range of treatment options available in our offices. Take years off your face and restore volume subtly and effectively.

What causes volume loss?

Volume is lost from different layers of the skin, for a variety of reasons. The combination of these smaller reductions in volume impacts your overall appearance. Most people’s facial volume is influenced by several of these factors:

• Sun exposure – The sun’s UV rays impact facial volume because they break down connective tissues like collagen and elastin.
• Hormonal changes – Certain hormone fluctuations can trigger fat loss in the face. Menopausal hormones often thin fat tissues.
• Cyclical weight gain and loss – If you have gained, lost and regained weight, this can thin out helpful fat in the face that contributes to facial roundness.
• Thin frame – Those with naturally thin frames are more likely to see their cheeks thinning as they age.
• Bone mass – Loss of bone tissue is another natural aging factor. The muscles in the face can also atrophy partially.

Can I treat volume loss at home?

Because volume loss occurs as a natural part of the aging process, there aren’t home measures that will substantially increase facial volume. That said, it’s always important to wear sunscreen and engage in sun protection to prevent additional premature aging.

We also offer SkinCeuticals and ZO Skin Health product lines to help protect, preserve and enhance your skin – schedule a consultation to learn which products might be ideal for your needs.
