About The Condition
Facial volume loss occurs when the tissues that give the face fullness and structure begin to diminish. As we age, the skin produces less collagen and elastin, facial fat shifts or decreases, and the underlying bone structure gradually changes. Genetics, significant weight loss, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors may also contribute.
Volume loss commonly affects the cheeks, temples, under-eye area, lips, and lower face. It may cause hollow areas, flatter cheeks, deeper facial folds, thinning lips, reduced jawline definition, and skin that appears less firm or supported.
Although facial volume loss is a natural process, it can make you look tired, drawn, or older than you feel. These changes may affect your confidence, particularly when your appearance no longer reflects how you feel.
Treatment Options
Several nonsurgical treatments can restore facial volume, improve definition, and create a more refreshed appearance. At SkinPerfected, each treatment plan is tailored to your facial anatomy, degree of volume loss, and desired outcome. Depending on your needs, we may recommend dermal fillers, Juvéderm, Sculptra, or a personalized combination of treatments.
Recommended Treatments
Dermal Fillers
What Is It?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to replace lost volume, enhance facial contours, and soften certain lines and folds. Different filler formulations can be selected for different areas of the face, allowing treatment to be personalized to your features and goals.
Key Benefits
Dermal fillers can restore volume in targeted areas, improve facial balance, enhance definition, and soften hollow areas, folds, and creases. Results are typically visible soon after treatment and can range from subtle refinement to more noticeable correction. Many patients can also return to their usual activities shortly after treatment.
Candidacy
Dermal fillers may be suitable for healthy adults with mild to moderate facial volume loss, hollow areas, thinning lips, deeper facial folds, or reduced facial definition. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations and want a nonsurgical treatment customized to their features. A consultation is required to determine which filler and treatment approach may be appropriate for you.
Juvéderm
What Is It?
Juvéderm is a collection of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body that helps attract and retain moisture. Different Juvéderm formulations are designed for specific concerns and treatment areas, including the cheeks, temples, under-eye hollows, lips, chin, facial folds, and jawline.
Key Benefits
Juvéderm can add targeted, natural-looking volume, smooth selected facial lines, enhance contours, and improve overall facial balance. Results are generally visible shortly after treatment. The range of available formulations allows your SkinPerfected provider to select an option suited to the treatment area and your desired outcome.
Candidacy
Juvéderm may be appropriate for adults seeking targeted correction of facial volume loss or enhancement of specific facial features. Product indications and age requirements vary, and not every formulation is suitable for every area. Treatment may not be appropriate for people with certain allergies, active skin infections, or particular medical conditions. Your provider will review your medical history before recommending treatment.
Sculptra
What Is It?
Sculptra is an injectable treatment made with poly-L-lactic acid. Rather than adding immediate volume with a gel, Sculptra stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. This gradually improves facial support and restores the appearance of lost volume over time.
Key Benefits
Sculptra encourages natural collagen production and creates subtle, progressive improvements in facial volume and support. It can address broader areas of volume loss and may improve the appearance of wrinkles associated with reduced structural support. Results develop gradually and may be long-lasting, although individual experiences vary.
Candidacy
Sculptra may be suitable for healthy adults with facial volume loss who prefer gradual, natural-looking results and are comfortable completing a recommended treatment series. It may not be appropriate for people with certain allergies, active infections, or a history of abnormal scar formation. A personalized consultation is necessary to determine whether Sculptra is right for you.
