Loss Of Facial Volume

TREATMENT SOLUTIONS:

WHAT IS IT? WHAT ARE CAUSES/ SYMPTOMS AND/OR SIGNS?

From our late teens, collagen and elastin production starts to slow down, further reducing at a rapid rate from age 30. Not only do fine lines and wrinkles develop, but facial volume, plumpness and firmness dramatically decreases due to loss of fat. As collagen is responsible for skin firmness and tone, whilst elastin provides the skin with elasticity, the reduction in their production can further create sagging and facial hollowing. Contributors to the reduction of facial volume include:

• Genetics
• Natural Ageing Process
• Sun damage
• Environmental aggressors
• Smoking
• Hormonal imbalances
• Illness
• Certain medications and medical conditions
• Dramatic weight loss/ Frequent weight loss

AREAS THAT MAY BE TREATED TO RESTORE FACIAL VOLUME INCLUDE:

• Cheeks
• Lips
• Under eye area
• Naso-labial folds (lines from the nose to the lips)
• Marionettes (lines from the lips to the chin)

DERMAL FILLERS

Dermal Fillers is an injectable treatment that works by plumping up the skin and make it firmer and smoothing out lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. It assists in adding volume to the areas of the face that has lost volume due to age or genetics. Results can last between six to twelve months. Some patients may experience temporary redness or bruising at the site of injection, but these symptoms are not painful and pass quickly.

Profhilo® is a skin remodeling agent. Once injected it spreads evenly across your skin like honey. It stimulates collagen and elastin and attracts water into the deeper layers of your skin. Hydrating the skin and regenerating your very own collagen and elastin.

SCULPTRA

Sculptra® contains a substance called PLLA (poly-L-latic-acid). It is injected deep under the skin, where the PLLA works with facial tissues to stimulate and revitalise natural collagen production. The treatment typically involves a series of injections, and the results can last for up to two years.

SKIN NEEDLING

Skin Needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a special regenerating treatment that safely penetrates deep into the underlying layers of skin, aiding the repair and rejuvenation of troubled areas. Based on acupuncture, and using multiple needles that differ in size, Skin Needling kick starts the body’s natural wound healing response underneath the skin. Skin Needling promotes the renewal of fresh collagen and elastin which provides skin hydration and can effectively smooth, plump up, and even skin surface. Increasing treatments can provide long-lasting plumpness and fullness to reduce the appearance of gaunt, hollow or aging contours.
