Facial Volume Loss

Facial volume loss refers to the reduction of soft tissue and fat in the face, leading to a loss of fullness and a more aged appearance, including changes in the distribution of facial fat, bone resorption, and the effects of gravity over time. Several factors contribute to facial volume loss:

​

1. Fat Redistribution: As people age, fat tends to shift from the upper face (cheeks and eyes) to the lower face (jawline and chin). This can result in a sunken or hollow appearance in the cheeks and temples.

2. Collagen and Elastin Breakdown: The skin's supportive structures, such as collagen and elastin, break down over time. This can lead to sagging and a loss of elasticity, contributing to facial volume loss.

3. Bone Resorption: Bone density decreases with age, especially in the facial bones. This loss of bone mass can affect the underlying structure, causing the face to lose its youthful contours.

4. Muscle Atrophy: Muscles in the face can atrophy with age, contributing to a loss of firmness and definition.

5. Genetics: Genetic factors also play a role in determining how an individual's face ages. Some people may be genetically predisposed to experience more significant volume loss than others.

​

Common signs and symptoms of facial volume loss include:

• Sagging skin: As facial fat diminishes, the skin may appear looser and less firm.

• Deepening of wrinkles and folds: Fine lines may become more pronounced, and deep creases, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines, may develop.

• Sunken cheeks: The loss of fat in the cheeks can lead to a hollow or gaunt appearance.

• Thinning lips: The lips may lose volume and fullness over time.

• Under-eye hollows: Reduced fat in the under-eye area can create a tired or aged look.

​

Plasma fibroblast treatment is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses a device to deliver plasma energy to the skin's surface, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin tightening. While it is not specifically designed to address facial volume loss like dermal fillers, it can offer benefits that may indirectly improve the overall appearance of the skin.
