Skin Concerns / Volume Loss
Volume Loss
Volume loss is real — but over-correction causes more harm than under-correction.
Overview
Volume loss begins in our 20s and progresses as we age. Several factors contribute to volume loss, including genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
What causes volume loss ?
Several factors contribute to facial volume loss, including:
- Genetics can influence facial volume loss.
- With age, key skin components decline, reducing facial volume.
- Rapid weight loss can cause the skin to sag and lose volume.
- Smoking damages the skin’s collagen and elastin, leading to facial volume loss.
- Sun exposure accelerates facial volume loss.
While facial volume loss is a natural part of aging, there are several things you can do to help prevent or slow it down.
Our Beliefs
1.
Targeted, conservative approach
Volume replacement should be conservative, targeted, and purposeful.
2.
Avoiding preventative overuse
Facial fillers should not be used preventatively.
3.
Long-lasting commitment
Fillers can last for years and should be considered semi-permanent.
Key point of difference
We prioritise skin quality over facial volume.
A face with less volume but healthy, luminous skin will usually look better than a fuller face with poor skin quality.
How we’re different
Most cosmetic clinics focus on visible change.
We focus on what those changes do to your skin over time.
Diagnosis before treatment, not treatment by default
Long-term skin health prioritised over short-term results
Precision over excess
Conservative, evidence-informed use of injectables and devices
Doctor-led, established in 2005
Honest guidance, including when not to proceed
