Understanding Volume Loss
Over time, our skin naturally loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, leading to a decrease in facial volume, elasticity, and firmness. This loss of volume can contribute to hollowed cheeks, sunken under-eyes, thinning lips, and sagging skin, making us look older or more tired than we feel. Volume loss can also affect the hands, causing visible veins and a more aged appearance.
At Summerlin Dermatology, we offer a range of advanced dermal fillers, including JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, RADIESSE®, Revanesse®, and Sculptra®, to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These injectable treatments provide immediate results, stimulating natural collagen production and rejuvenating the skin for a youthful, plumper appearance. Whether you're seeking subtle enhancements or a more dramatic transformation, our expert team will customize a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Signs & Symptoms of Volume Loss
Facial volume loss can manifest in different ways, including:
Hollowed or sunken cheeks
Deep nasolabial folds (laugh lines) and marionette lines
A weakened jawline and loss of definition
Under-eye hollows or dark circles
Thinning lips
A generally tired or aged appearance
What Causes Volume Loss?
Several factors contribute to facial volume loss, including:
Aging – A natural decline in collagen, elastin, and facial fat over time.
Genetics – Some individuals experience early volume loss due to hereditary factors.
Sun Damage – UV exposure accelerates collagen breakdown, leading to premature aging.
Weight Loss – Significant weight fluctuations can cause fat depletion in the face.
Hormonal Changes – Menopause and other hormonal shifts affect skin structure and volume.
