Volume Loss

IN CARLSBAD, CA

What Is Volume Loss?

Volume loss refers to the gradual decrease of facial fat and collagen, leading to hollowing, sagging, and the appearance of wrinkles. As we age, the skin loses its youthful plumpness, resulting in a more gaunt or tired appearance. Volume loss typically affects the cheeks, under-eye area, temples, and jawline. It is a natural part of aging but can be exacerbated by factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and significant weight loss. Treatments are available to restore volume and rejuvenate the face.

What Are the Causes of Volume Loss?

Aging

Natural aging processes reduce the production of collagen and elastin, leading to volume loss. Over time, this results in thinner skin and a more sunken facial structure.

Sun Exposure

UV radiation accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers, contributing to premature aging. Prolonged sun exposure can also deplete skin’s natural reserves, leading to volume loss.

Weight Loss

Significant weight loss can lead to fat reduction in the face, exacerbating volume loss. The decrease in facial fat can create a more hollowed and aged look.

Lifestyle Factors

Smoking and poor diet can accelerate the aging process and contribute to volume loss. These habits decrease skin health and elasticity, leading to a loss of youthful contours.

Genetics

A genetic predisposition can determine how early and severe volume loss occurs. Those with a family history may experience more pronounced facial volume loss with age.
