What Is Facial Volume Loss?
Facial volume loss in the cheek and temple areas manifests as hollowing, flattening, or sunken contours, often due to age-related changes in fat and bone structure. This can create a gaunt or tired appearance, accentuating wrinkles and facial asymmetry. Loss of volume in these regions diminishes facial fullness and youthful contours, contributing to an aged or unbalanced appearance. Individuals may appear older than their actual age and may feel self-conscious about their facial aesthetics, impacting confidence and overall well-being.
What Causes Facial Volume Loss?
Facial volume loss in the cheeks and temple areas results from a combination of factors. Ageing is a primary cause, as the skin’s production of collagen and elastin decreases, leading to diminished skin elasticity and firmness. Additionally, fat pads in the face gradually decrease in size and shift downward, resulting in hollowing and flattening of the cheeks and temples. Bone resorption, particularly in the jaw, cheekbones and midface also contributes to decreased facial volume. Lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and poor nutrition can accelerate these processes. Furthermore, genetic predisposition and certain medical conditions may influence the rate and extent of facial volume loss.
How Can I Treat Facial Volume Loss?
At Takroni Clinic we use cheek / mid-face filler and temple filler to safely and effectively improve facial volume loss and rejuvenate the appearance of the face. By strategically injecting hyaluronic acid-based fillers into the cheeks and temples, our skilled practitioners can replenish lost volume and restore youthful contours. This creates a fuller, more sculpted and lifted appearance, reducing the visibility of hollowing and enhancing facial symmetry. Additionally, filler injections can soften the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in these areas. The results are immediate and can last from over 6-9 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors. Overall, cheek and temple filler treatments offer a non-surgical solution to address facial volume loss and achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. We also recommend combining your treatment with medical grade skincare and some of our machine-based technology such as medical microneedling or Morpheus 8 to stimulate collagen for healthy, youthful looking skin. Treatments such as profhilo and polynucleotides can help to plump the skin and improve elasticity maximising results.
