Volume Loss

Volume loss in the face is a common occurrence as we age, leading to a hollow or sagging appearance. This phenomenon is primarily caused by the natural decrease in collagen and elastin production, as well as the loss of fat pads underneath the skin.

Volume loss in the face can manifest in several ways, including:

Hollowed cheeks: A sunken or deflated appearance in the cheek area.

Under-eye hollows: Dark circles or hollows underneath the eyes.

Loss of definition: Reduced jawline definition or a downturned mouth.

Thin lips: Decreased lip volume and definition.

Sagging skin: Loose or sagging skin due to loss of underlying support.

Several factors contribute to volume loss in the face, including:

Ageing: As we age, collagen and elastin production decreases, leading to a loss of skin elasticity and volume.

Genetics: Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to experiencing more significant volume loss.

Sun exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin.

Lifestyle choices: Poor diet, smoking, and lack of skincare can exacerbate the effects of volume loss.

olume loss can start to become noticeable in the mid to late 30s, but the extent and rate of volume loss can vary for each individual.
Adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate hydration, and sun protection can help maintain skin health and prevent premature volume loss.
