FACIAL VOLUME LOSS

As we age, our face changes gradually and subtly, unnoticeable to those around us for the most part. One of the areas people first complain about, aside from wrinkles, is a loss of volume to the face causing the appearance of ageing to become more pronounced as the collagen and elasticity in our skin starts to diminish.

This collagen and elastin is what gives our face it’s structure and firmness, and its loss is the main cause of jowls, and in particular nasolabial folds – which are the lines that run from the nose to the mouth, along with marionette lines – which run from the mouth to the chin, resulting in a lack-lustre sagging appearance. We recommend that intervention at the early onset of facial volume loss is the best way to not only combat existing facial volume loss, but to help the skin in its fight against future loss of facial volume. We treat patients using dermal fillers, which plump out the skin and help give back the structure that has been lost through the natural ageing process.
