Facial Volume Loss
Facial volume loss is due to several factors: diminishing collagen and elastin, natural gravity, bone resorption, and fat loss.
What is facial volume loss?
Facial volume loss can be due to several factors: a reduction in collagen and elastin, natural gravity over time, bone resorption, and fat loss. Not only do our bodies produce less collagen over time, but the existing collagen we do have starts to lose its elasticity. Coupled with the constant pull of gravity, our skin begins to sag and lose its plumpness. Also, as we age, our bone formation can no longer keep pace with bone resorption. This causes our facial features to recede and create volume loss. And finally, fat loss is a huge component of aging. We tend to lose fat, particularly in the mid and lower face as time goes by. All these components contribute to the aging process.
Common areas to treat
Volume loss happens everywhere on the face and body, but the most common areas to treat are: temples, tear troughs, lips, midface, marionette lines, and hands.
