Volume Restoration and Facial Contouring
As we age, our facial appearance undergoes changes, including volume loss.
Decline in Collagen and Elastin Production: Collagen and elastin are proteins responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. With advancing age, the body produces less of these proteins, leading to decreased skin resilience and increased susceptibility to sagging and wrinkling.
Changes in Fat Distribution: The distribution and volume of fat in the face change over time. Fat pads may diminish in size or undergo redistribution, resulting in hollowed or sunken areas, particularly around the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. This reduction in facial fat can contribute to a loss of youthful fullness and contour.
Bone Resorption: Bone resorption is the natural process of bone thinning and weakening that occurs with age. In the face, this process can lead to alterations in bone structure, such as a decrease in jawbone density or changes in cheekbone prominence. As a result, the facial contours may become less defined and supportive.
Collectively, these processes contribute to facial volume loss, which is characterised by the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, hollowed areas, and a loss of facial fullness.
