Volume Loss
Volume Loss Treatment
Volume loss occurs when the skin loses its natural fullness and contour, often leading to a hollowed or deflated appearance. This condition primarily results from the reduction of subcutaneous fat and the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers as we age. Clinically, volume loss is most noticeable in areas such as the cheeks, under the eyes, temples, and around the mouth, giving the face a sunken or gaunt look. Contributing factors include natural aging, weight fluctuations, and genetics. Effective treatments for addressing volume loss include dermal fillers, fat transfer procedures, and collagen-boosting injectables that help restore fullness and rejuvenate the facial contours.
Volume Loss can affect anyone, particularly as they age or experience significant changes in weight. At The Derm Collective North Shore, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation by an experienced aesthetic provider who will recommend a personalized treatment plan to restore lost volume and enhance your appearance. Depending on the treatment method chosen, results can be seen immediately or develop over several weeks, with some procedures requiring maintenance to sustain the effects. If you’re concerned about volume loss and want to explore effective treatment options, consider booking a consultation to learn about your options.
