Facial Volume Loss

Light Touch Clinic specialises in the restoration of facial volume. Our skin experts offer the latest treatments to address loss of facial volume.

About Facial Volume Loss

Ageing is accompanied by changes in our skin, most of which can have an impact on appearance. Gradual loss of collagen & elastin in the skin can significantly affect volume, a process that occurs naturally with age but is accelerated by lifestyle choices and environmental factors.

The cheeks, cheekbones and under the eyes are the key areas where facial volume loss occurs. This can impact on other areas of the face and, when coupled with sagging skin, can give a heavy look to the lower face and neck. When volume loss and thinning skin combine with a decrease in hyaluronic acid – and the moisturising properties it produces – the skin becomes wrinkled and can no longer hold on to its firm and plump look.

At Light Touch Clinic we specialise in anti-ageing treatments to reverse the effects of facial volume loss. Book your consultation with us today to speak to our aesthetic experts about how we can help restore volume to your face.

Facial Volume Loss – Frequently Asked Questions

Facial volume loss can be attributed to several factors, predominantly the natural ageing process.

As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins responsible for maintaining firmness and elasticity.

Fat pads beneath the skin diminish over time, leading to a loss of facial fullness and contour.

Other contributors to facial volume loss include genetics, environmental factors such as sun exposure and pollution, lifestyle choices like smoking or excessive alcohol consumption, and certain medical conditions or medications.

Some of the signs include:

  • Hollow or sunken cheeks
  • Deepening of nasolabial folds
  • Thinning of the lips
  • Under-eye hollows
  • Sagging skin around the jawline.

There also may be a loss of definition along the jawline and chin, accompanied by reduced skin elasticity and firmness.

Overall, if you experience facial volume loss, you may notice a decrease in facial fullness and a struggle to maintain facial contours, resulting in a less youthful and vibrant appearance.

Weight loss or significant changes in diet can impact facial volume in different ways.

When someone loses a substantial amount of weight, particularly rapidly, it can lead to a reduction in facial fat stores, resulting in a loss of fullness in the cheeks and other facial areas.

This can sometimes accentuate the appearance of underlying structures such as bones and muscles, giving the face a more gaunt or drawn look.

Conversely, weight gain can contribute to increased facial volume due to the accumulation of fat deposits in various areas of the face.

However, the distribution of fat in the face can vary widely among individuals, so the effects of weight loss or gain on facial volume may differ from person to person.

You can restore volume to your face through various treatments. Some of these include:

  • Dermal fillers: Contain hyaluronic acid which helps plump up the skin and restore a more youthful appearance.
  • Profhilo: Causes prolonged stimulation of dermal cells which improves and restores skin firmness.
  • Polynucleotides skin rejuvenation: Increases collagen production by initiating the body’s natural production of fibroblast.

Some strategies for naturally enhancing facial volume include maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, which can support overall skin health and collagen production.

Regular exercise can also improve blood circulation, which may promote a more youthful appearance by delivering essential nutrients to the skin.

Also, adequate hydration is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and plumpness.

However, it’s important to manage expectations as natural methods may not provide the same results as cosmetic treatments. Book a consultation with us to determine the best course of action for improving facial volume.

Sun exposure can have a significant impact on facial volume over time. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation from the sun can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibres in the skin.

When these proteins degrade, the skin loses its firmness and begins to sag, contributing to a loss of facial volume.

Additionally, sun exposure can lead to the formation of free radicals, which can further damage skin cells and impair collagen production.

As a result, repeated sun exposure over the years can contribute to a more aged appearance, characterised by hollowed cheeks, deep wrinkles, and a loss of facial fullness.

Protecting the skin from sun damage through the regular use of sunscreen and other sun protection measures is essential in preserving facial volume and maintaining a youthful appearance over time.
