Facial volume loss happens with ageing, when the facial fat pads, uniformly distributed in the face, during a younger age, start migrating downwards.
The most affected areas are the cheeks, the under eyes area, the temples, the perioral area, jaw and lips.
The final appearance of this downwards fat pads migration is a tired, sad, old looking face.
As a result of this volume loss, lines and wrinkles appear in various areas, due to the repeated muscle movements, in conjunction with reduced production of collagen.
There are many medical aesthetic treatments that can address this problem such as:
Anti wrinkles injections, that work by blocking the communication between the nerves and the muscles. This results in muscle relaxation, which provides a smoother appearance of existing fine lines and wrinkles and also prevents the formation of new lines and wrinkles, by decreasing muscle movements.
Dermal fillers, are made out of Hyaluronic Acid, a substance naturally occurring in the body. They are used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and to restore facial volume in multiple areas. Dermal fillers are a very effective and minimally invasive way of restoring volume loss, reshaping and contouring.
Mesotherapy, it consists of multiple microinjections of a cocktail containing Vitamins, Amino Acids, Hyaluronic acid, Enzymes, Hormones and plant extracts, in the mesoderm, the mid layer of the skin. All these substances stimulate the fibroblasts production of Collagen, the substance responsible for skin rejuvenation and repair. This results in a younger, smoother, plumper and brighter looking skin.
Microneedling with or without PRP, it stimulates the production of new Collagen creating a controlled injury to the skin in the form of microchannels. This results in a younger, smoother, plumper and brighter looking skin. It can be used on its own or in combination with Platelets Rich Plasma (PRP) or growth factors serums.
Polynucleotides, which are a sequesnce of nucleotides that, once injected, target the fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin. By doing so they aid skin regeneration and tissue repair, they also increaseskinh hydration and hyaluronic acid synthesis.
Exosomes, which are extracellular vescicles. This treatment aids tissue regeneration, softening fine lines and wrinkles, tightening loose and aged skin, hydrating the skin, improving skin tone and texture.
HIFU, stands for High intensity focused ultrasound. HIFU reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps to lift and firm sagging skin as well as rejuvenates the overall appearance, by stimulating collagen production. It’s also very effective in reducing stubborn fat deposits in multiple areas. It’s a completely non invasive treatment and has zero downtime.
