Volume Loss
Volume loss is one of the most requested treatments at our Sydney clinic. The mid-face in particular is a very important area on the face that most patients notice first when they start to age.
Increasing volume can be achieved with particular treatments that we offer at FACE CLINIK. We have an experienced doctor and a number of experienced nurses who utilise techniques to achieve desired outcomes.
FACE CLINIK restores lost volume, smoothing wrinkles, folds, and reducing the appearance of scars from acne or surgery.
Volume loss occurs when collagen, elastin, bone, and soft tissue deplete over time. Collagen and elastin keep skin firm and youthful, while bone provides structural support. As we age, this reduction leads to facial volume loss and wrinkles.
What causes Volume Loss?
-
Facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, squinting, and raising eyebrows cause temporary folds in the skin as the underlying muscles contract. While youthful skin quickly bounces back, aging skin loses elasticity, making these dynamic wrinkles—like crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines—more permanent.
-
UV rays break down collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin structure and flexibility. As these fibers degrade, the skin loses its firmness, making it more prone to wrinkles and sagging. Sun damage is one of the most significant contributors to premature aging, often accelerating the appearance of fine lines without proper sun protection.
-
Collagen production naturally declines from our mid-20s, leading to a loss of skin structure and firmness. Elastin fibers, responsible for skin’s ability to snap back after stretching, also weaken with age. This results in thinner skin, volume loss, and increased sagging, making wrinkles more prominent.
-
Genetics influence how quickly our skin ages, with some people more prone to early fine lines and wrinkles. Lifestyle choices, such as smoking, poor diet, stress, lack of sleep, and alcohol consumption, can accelerate aging. For instance, smoking damages collagen and reduces blood flow, contributing to fine lines, especially around the mouth.

What areas can be
treated?
-
Loss of volume in the cheeks can lead to a flatter or hollowed appearance. Restoring volume enhances facial contours, creating a lifted, more youthful look.
-
Hollows or dark circles under the eyes can make the face appear tired and aged. Volume restoration smooths this area, reducing shadows and creating a refreshed, well-rested look.
-
The lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth deepen over time. Adding volume softens these folds, restoring a smoother, more youthful expression.
-
Volume loss in the jawline and chin can cause a less defined profile. Restoring volume enhances symmetry, sculpts the jawline, and provides better facial balance, especially for a receding chin or weak jawline.
-
Hollowing in the temples can create an unbalanced, sunken look. Volume restoration replenishes lost fullness, enhancing facial harmony and a youthful contour.
-
Aging hands often show thinning skin with prominent veins and tendons. Restoring volume adds fullness, smoothing the skin and creating a more youthful appearance.
-
Lines extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin can contribute to a downturned, sagging appearance. Volume replacement lifts and smooths these lines, softening the expression.
-
Loss of volume in the lips can affect fullness, shape, and symmetry. Restoring volume enhances definition and balance, creating a plumper, more youthful look.
