Volume Loss

El Dorado Hills, CA

What Is Volume Loss?

Volume loss is a common sign of aging caused by a decline in collagen, elastin, and subcutaneous fat. It often affects areas such as the cheeks, under-eyes, temples, and jawline, leading to hollowing, sagging, and a less youthful appearance. Volume loss can also exacerbate the appearance of wrinkles and skin laxity. With modern aesthetic treatments, lost volume can be restored to enhance contours, lift the skin, and create a rejuvenated look.

Treatments for Volume Loss

Emface

Emface combines RF technology and HIFES muscle stimulation to lift and tone the face while improving skin elasticity. This innovative treatment addresses volume loss by enhancing the structural support of the skin, providing a natural-looking lift.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable that stimulates collagen production over time. Ideal for treating facial volume loss, it provides gradual, long-lasting results that restore fullness and improve skin texture.

Radiesse

Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite-based filler that replenishes lost volume while stimulating collagen production. It is particularly effective for restoring volume in the cheeks, jawline, and hands, offering both immediate and lasting results.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)

PRF is a regenerative treatment derived from your own blood that promotes tissue repair and collagen growth. It is ideal for addressing volume loss in delicate areas, such as under the eyes, while improving overall skin quality.

Juvederm

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that restores lost volume, smooths wrinkles, and enhances facial contours. With immediate results, Juvederm is perfect for addressing areas like the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds.

RHA Collection

The RHA Collection of fillers is designed to adapt to facial movements, making it ideal for dynamic areas like the mouth and smile lines. It restores volume while maintaining natural expressions for a subtle, refreshed look.

What Are the Causes of Volume Loss?

Natural Aging

Over time, the body produces less collagen and elastin, resulting in decreased skin elasticity and volume.

Fat Redistribution

Aging leads to a reduction and downward shift of facial fat, causing hollowing in some areas and fullness in others.

Sun Damage

Prolonged UV exposure accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, contributing to volume loss.

Hormonal Changes

Declining estrogen levels can lead to decreased skin thickness and support structures.

Genetics

Genetic predisposition influences how and where volume loss occurs as you age.
