Can I Combat Facial Volume Loss?

As you age, you may start to notice that your skin doesn’t have the same vibrancy and elasticity that it used to when you were a teenager. Actually, you could start experiencing facial volume loss as early as your 20s.

As your skin loses collagen and facial fat, you can develop crows feet, smile lines, sunken temples, and more. However, you don’t have to be stuck with dull skin or go under the knife to improve your facial features. There are plenty of non-surgical ways to combat facial volume loss.

Restylane

This treatment is used to combat facial volume loss by replacing the hyaluronic acid that gives our skin its fullness and hydration. When injected properly, Restylane can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for up to eight months.

Restylane Refyne

The newest member of the Restylane family, Refyne is designed to treat nasolabial folds — the lines that develop from the side of your nose to your mouth. When injected properly it can soften those lines for up to 12 months.

Volbella

A relatively new product in the Juvederm line, Volbella is a hyaluronic filler used to improve vertical lip lines and give you fuller lips.

Vollure

Also a hyaluronic filler from Juverm, Vollure allows for a smooth natural correction of facial folds with results lasting up to 18 months.

Ultra

Juvederm ® Ultra is one of the original hyaluronic acid (HA) filler products in the Juvederm family used for the augmentation of lips and for the improvement of facial volume loss with results lasting up to 12 months.

Volux

The NEWEST product on the market, Juvederm Volux XC is the first and only Hyaluronic Acid (HA) filler to receive FDA approval for improving jawline definition in adults over the age of 21. Volux XC is the perfect non-surgical option for those looking to create volume and contour in their lower face. Volux XC helps to smooth the appearance of jowls, and give structure to the jawline.

Botox

As the collagen in your face breaks down, you will start to develop forehead lines, worry lines that look like the number 11 between your eyes, and crow’s feet around your eyes caused by repetitive facial movements. Botox is a neuromuscular blocker that inhibits these facial movements and prevents lines from forming to begin with.

The type of treatment you choose to combat facial volume loss will depend on many factors. The professionals at Kessel Dermatology can help you determine which treatment is best for you.
