As we age, our face loses the volume it once had. Laxity also increases, which can leave us looking less defined, tired and sunken. This is caused by our body’s reduction in collagen and elastin production which over the years, continues to decrease. Our natural stores of collagen and elastin can be further destroyed by things like sun exposure, smoking, poor diet, stress, and a number of other factors.
Areas of Concern
Face
Most who are concerned with the appearance of the skin want a plumper, fuller looking complexion, which involves adding volume to the entire face.
Lips
It’s quite common to experience a loss of volume on and around the lips. Other major areas of concern around the mouth include the nasolabial folds (the lines extending from the corners of the nose to the corners of the lips) and marionette lines (the lines going down from the corners of the lips to the chin).
Cheeks
Volume loss is particularly noticeable throughout the cheeks and mid-face, as the cheeks become hollowed and skin starts to sag downwards resulting in more deeply etched lines and jowls.
Treatments
Restoring lost volume to our complexion requires filling the area to restructure and hydrate. This can either be done by stimulating our bodies to produce more collagen and elastin to fill in the gaps, or by using injectable filler.
