CONCERNS – SKIN & FACE
Loss of Facial Volume
GOAL
Support volume, enhance muscle tone, and promote a more lifted, youthful-looking contour.
CONCERN
Facial volume loss is a natural part of the ageing process, often caused by the gradual decline of subcutaneous fat, collagen, and elastin. These changes can lead to a more hollow or sunken appearance, sagging skin, and reduced definition around the cheeks, jawline, and eyes. Contributing factors may include age-related changes, weight fluctuations, hormonal shifts, environmental exposure (e.g. pollution, UV light), and lifestyle choices such as smoking.
Addressing the visible effects of volume loss typically involves a combination of preventative care and aesthetic wellness strategies. A healthy lifestyle, including balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, adequate hydration, and daily sun protection, can help support skin structure and slow the appearance of volume depletion. Avoiding smoking and other pro-inflammatory habits is also important, as these can accelerate the breakdown of key skin-supporting components.
For individuals seeking to enhance facial contour or reduce the appearance of sagging, non-invasive aesthetic wellness treatments may offer supportive benefits. Technologies such as radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound energy are used to encourage skin firmness by supporting natural collagen and elastin production. These approaches may help improve texture, tone, and visible lift over time.
To further enhance contour and promote lift, High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Stimulation (HIFES) can be used to engage underlying facial muscles. This may help improve tone and definition in the lower face, contributing to a more sculpted, refreshed appearance when used as part of a personalised treatment plan.
