Facial volume loss is a natural part of the aging process, resulting in a sunken or hollow appearance, particularly in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline. Factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits can contribute to the loss of facial volume over time.

As we all know, our bodies naturally produce collagen which helps improve the skin’s elasticity and appearance. Collagen is responsible for the youthful look of the skin. However, as the years pass by, the body stops producing collagen which impacts the skin’s elasticity and hydration. This leads to the formation of wrinkles and roughness.

Collagen is an important element for maintaining the skin’s health and its lack of production can lead to signs of ageing. Consequently, the reduction in collagen production can exacerbate facial volume loss, accentuating hollow areas and contributing to an aged appearance.

How This Treatment Works

This treatment is a unique approach that helps stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional methods, which aim to add volume immediately, this treatment gradually encourages collagen production, leading to subtle, natural-looking improvements in facial volume and contour. On the day of the procedure, the treatment will be administered using a precise technique. Multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results, with improvements becoming more noticeable over time as collagen production increases.

Before undergoing this treatment, individuals are advised to schedule a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. During this consultation, the practitioner will assess the individual’s facial anatomy, discuss aesthetic goals, and develop a personalised treatment plan.

Recovery and Results

Following this treatment, individuals may experience some mild swelling, redness and tenderness at the treatment sites. These symptoms should subside within two to seven days. Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.

You may notice some plumping in the area where the treatment was administered. This effect will subside within a few days. Results from this treatment are gradual and become more noticeable over time as collagen production increases. While individual outcomes may vary, many individuals begin to see improvements in facial volume and contour within a few weeks to months after the treatment session. Multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results, and your healthcare provider will provide personalised guidance on follow-up treatments based on your individual response.

It’s important to maintain realistic expectations and understand that the full effects of this treatment may take several months to manifest fully. Additionally, practicing good skincare habits and protecting your skin from sun damage can help prolong the results of this treatment.

Potential Side Effects and Risks

It’s essential to understand that like any medical procedure, this treatment can carry potential risks and side effects. It is crucial to weigh the potential benefits against these risks. While treatment is generally safe and well-tolerated when administered by a qualified healthcare professional, it’s important to be aware of possible adverse reactions, including:

• Temporary Swelling and Bruising: Mild swelling and bruising may occur at the treatment sites but typically resolve within a few days.
• Discomfort: Some individuals may experience mild discomfort or tenderness at the treatment sites, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary.
• Granulomas: In rare cases, small lumps or bumps known as granulomas may develop at the treatment sites. These can typically be treated with massage or other methods.
• Allergic Reactions: While rare, allergic reactions to the treatment may occur. Symptoms may include itching, redness, or swelling at the treatment sites.

By choosing a qualified and experienced practitioner, you can minimise the likelihood of adverse reactions and achieve optimal results safely. It is important to discuss any concerns or medical conditions with your practitioner before undergoing treatment. If you experience any unusual symptoms after receiving treatment, seek medical attention immediately.
