WHAT CAUSES FACIAL VOLUME LOSS?
As we get older, due to the influence of a number of different factors, the skin on our face loses its volume and becomes loose. This loss of volume can make faces appear heavier, especially in areas under the eyes and cheeks. This in turn can lead to sagging skin which can alter the structure and shape of our entire face.
WHAT CAUSES THIS LOSS OF VOLUME?
Our faces are complex structures of muscles, facial fat pads and bones that provide important structures, protects vessels and nerves and allows movement. As we get older, our body naturally produces less collagen and elastin, and there is reduced hyaluronic acid to keep our skin moist. These effects of ageing all contribute to drier, thinner skin that no longer retains the firmness it once had.
what else contributes to this effect?
Hormonal Changes
As we age, oestrogen levels decline, reducing fat distribution and affecting collagen production. This leads to loss of facial fat pads, collagen, and elastin, which support the skin’s structure.
UV Exposure
Chasing a perfect tan can harm your skin. UV radiation damages DNA, increasing skin cancer risk, and disrupts collagen and elastin, reducing skin firmness and volume.
Smoking
Smoking accelerates skin aging by breaking down collagen and elastin and reducing vitamins C and A, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and volume loss.
Extreme Dieting
Extreme dieting and intense exercise can drastically alter weight and appearance but may cause life-threatening risks, facial volume loss, and inflammation from hormonal changes and injuries.
Medication
Never stop medication over skin volume concerns. Steroids can thin skin, and some drugs cause aging via photosensitivity. Use moisturizers to maintain hydration.
what are the symptoms of facial volume loss?
It will come as no surprise that as we get older, our skin begins to wrinkle. Over time, we lose volume in key areas of the face such as under the eyes and cheeks. Facial volume loss is a very common sign of ageing, and can be characterized by sagging skin especially in the jowl and neck areas that begin to look heavier. When we are young, our faces tend to be defined by full cheeks, high cheekbones, a sharp jawline, full lips and a defined chin. However, as we get older, these features begin to sag and a more aged appearance slowly forms.
