Volume Loss Treatment at SkinInspire
What is volume loss?
Volume loss, a common consequence of ageing, can affect various areas of the face, leading to a tired and aged appearance. Fortunately, modern aesthetics offers effective solutions to combat this issue. Dermal fillers have emerged as a popular and minimally invasive treatment option to restore lost volume, rejuvenating one’s facial features.
Symptoms of Volume Loss
Volume loss can manifest in various ways, and the symptoms may vary from person to person.
Some common signs of volume loss include:
-
Sagging Skin: As we age, our skin gradually loses its elasticity, leading to sagging and drooping in areas like the cheeks, jawline, and under the eyes.
-
Hollowed Cheeks: A sunken appearance in the cheeks can make one appear tired and older than their actual age.
-
Deep Wrinkles and Folds: Volume loss can result in the formation of deep lines, wrinkles, and creases, particularly around the mouth and nose.
-
Thinning Lips: Lips can lose their fullness over time, resulting in thinner lips with less defined borders.
-
Under-Eye Hollows: Dark circles and hollows beneath the eyes can make a person look fatigued and aged.
Causes of Volume Loss
Volume loss is primarily attributed to the natural ageing process. As we age, several factors contribute to the loss of facial volume:
Decreased Collagen Production
Collagen, a vital protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin, decreases with age, leading to sagging and wrinkles.
Fat Redistribution
The distribution of fat beneath the skin changes with age, causing some areas to lose volume while others gain it.
Bone Resorption
Bone density can decrease over time, affecting the underlying structure of the face and contributing to volume loss.
Treatment Options for Volume Loss
Dermal Filler
Volume loss is a common concern associated with ageing, but it no longer has to be an irreversible aspect of growing older. Dermal fillers have revolutionised the field of cosmetic dermatology, offering a safe and effective way to restore lost volume, rejuvenate facial features, and enhance one’s overall appearance. If you’re considering dermal fillers, consult with Nurse Annie to discuss your options and achieve the youthful look you desire.
Skin Hydro Boosters
Skin Hydro Boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality. By delivering hydrating ingredients into the skin, they can help address dryness, fine lines and changes in skin firmness that often accompany age-related volume loss, supporting a smoother, plumper-looking complexion.
At SkinInspire, we tailor each treatment to your skin's individual needs, focusing on hydration, elasticity and natural-looking results. Our experienced practitioners will assess your skin and recommend a suitable approach to help improve skin quality and restore a fresher, more youthful-looking appearance.
Croma Polynucleotides
Croma Polynucleotides are regenerative injectable treatments designed to support skin quality and improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and dull, tired-looking skin. They are particularly suited to patients seeking a gradual approach to restoring radiance and achieving a smoother, more refreshed complexion.
At SkinInspire, our practitioners use a personalised approach to assess your skin's condition and determine whether polynucleotide treatment is suitable. A course of treatments may be recommended to support gradual improvements in skin texture, hydration and overall appearance, helping to promote healthier-looking, more radiant skin.
Profhilo
Profhilo is an injectable skin treatment formulated with hyaluronic acid, designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality. Rather than adding volume in the same way as traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo works to support skin firmness and improve the appearance of fine lines, crepey skin and skin laxity, which can become more noticeable as the skin ages.
At SkinInspire, we tailor each Profhilo treatment to your individual skin concerns, focusing on improving skin hydration, texture and firmness for a smoother, more refreshed appearance. A course of treatments may be recommended to support gradual improvements in skin quality, helping the skin appear firmer, healthier and more rejuvenated over time.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated preparation of platelets obtained from your own blood. These platelets contain growth factors involved in the body's natural tissue repair processes, making PRP a treatment of interest for improving skin quality, texture and changes in skin appearance associated with ageing and volume loss.
At SkinInspire, PRP may be considered for patients concerned about reduced skin firmness, uneven texture and age-related changes in their complexion. Our practitioners will assess your skin, explain the treatment process and discuss how PRP may complement other volume-restoring treatments as part of a personalised skin rejuvenation plan.
Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable collagen-stimulating treatment formulated with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), designed to address facial volume loss and visible signs of skin ageing. By encouraging the body's natural collagen production, Sculptra can help improve skin firmness, support facial structure and gradually reduce the appearance of skin laxity.
At SkinInspire, we personalise each Sculptra treatment to your facial structure, skin condition and individual concerns. Our approach focuses on supporting collagen production and improving the appearance of skin firmness and elasticity, with gradual, natural-looking improvements developing over time. A series of treatments may be recommended depending on your individual needs.
SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling is a professional skin treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating its natural repair response and collagen production. It can help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and changes in skin firmness that often accompany age-related volume loss.
At SkinInspire, we tailor each SkinPen treatment to your skin type and individual concerns, focusing on improving skin texture, firmness and overall skin quality. A series of treatments may be recommended to support gradual improvements in skin appearance, helping to achieve a smoother, firmer and more youthful-looking complexion.
SkinPen Microneedling with Exosomes
SkinPen Microneedling with Exosomes combines professional microneedling with an exosome-based skincare preparation. Microneedling stimulates the skin's natural repair response and collagen production, helping to improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and changes in skin firmness that can accompany age-related volume loss.
At SkinInspire in Hitchin, this combination may be considered for patients looking to improve skin quality, firmness and the visible signs of ageing. Our practitioners will assess your skin, explain the treatment process and discuss how it may complement other volume-restoring treatments, with realistic expectations about the additional benefits of exosomes, which remain under investigation.
How Dermal Fillers Can Treat Volume Loss
Dermal fillers are non-surgical cosmetic treatments designed to restore lost volume and rejuvenate the appearance. They are typically composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body, or other biocompatible materials. Here’s how dermal fillers can effectively treat volume loss:
-
Restoring Lost Volume: Dermal fillers are injected into specific areas of the face where volume has been lost. They plump up the skin, reducing sagging and filling in hollowed areas, thereby creating a more youthful appearance.
-
Smoothing Wrinkles and Folds: Fillers can be used to smooth out deep lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines, providing a smoother and more youthful complexion.
-
Enhancing Lip Fullness: Dermal fillers are a popular choice for lip augmentation, adding volume and definition to the lips while maintaining a natural look.
-
Improving Under-Eye Hollows: Fillers can effectively address under-eye hollows and dark circles, restoring a fresher and more alert appearance.
-
Minimal Downtime: Dermal filler treatments typically require minimal downtime, making them a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
