Volume Loss
What Is Volume Loss?
Facial volume loss occurs when the skin and underlying structures lose youthful fullness. This loss can result in a hollow or sunken appearance, particularly in areas like the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. Volume loss contributes to the overall signs of aging, making the face look older and less vibrant.
What Are the Causes of Volume Loss?
Volume loss can be caused by:
- Aging: Natural aging leads to decreased collagen, fat, and skin elasticity, as well as loss of volume.
- Weight Loss: Significant weight loss can reduce facial fat, leading to a sunken or hollow appearance.
- Reduced Collagen Production: As you age, your body produces less collagen, which affects the skin's firmness and volume.
- Sun Exposure: UV rays can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin, contributing to volume loss.
- Smoking: Smoking damages collagen and elastin fibers, leading to premature aging and volume loss.
- Genetics: Some people are genetically predisposed to lose facial volume more quickly.
