Understanding Facial Volume Loss
Facial volume loss is a natural and progressive part of the ageing process. As we age, certain areas of the face — particularly the cheeks, temples, and jawline — may begin to appear more hollow or sunken. This change can be influenced by a range of factors including genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure, and the gradual decline of structural support in the skin.
One of the main contributors to this change is the reduction in collagen production. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that helps maintain the skin’s elasticity, firmness, and hydration. In our younger years, the body produces collagen consistently, supporting smooth, plump skin. However, over time, collagen production slows, contributing to the appearance of fine lines, skin laxity, and reduced volume.
These changes are completely normal, but for some people, they may lead to concerns about facial balance or signs of ageing. Seeking professional advice can help you better understand your options and decide whether a personalised treatment approach is appropriate for your needs.
Our Approach: Personalised Consultation
At our clinic, we provide professional consultations for individuals concerned about changes in facial volume, contour, or symmetry. Every face is different, and our goal is to offer personalised advice based on a thorough understanding of your facial anatomy and goals.
During your consultation, your practitioner will:
-
Conduct a facial assessment focusing on volume, proportion, and skin quality
-
Review your health and lifestyle history
-
Discuss your goals, preferences, and any concerns you may have
-
Explore suitable treatment options (if appropriate), and explain potential benefits and risks
If a treatment is recommended, it will be discussed in detail, including the number of sessions that may be appropriate, expected results, and post-care guidance.
What to Expect After the Consultation
Following your appointment, your practitioner will provide:
-
A personalised care or treatment plan (if suitable)
-
Guidance on skincare or lifestyle strategies to support facial rejuvenation
-
Information on any follow-up sessions or complementary treatments, if applicable
We encourage open communication throughout the process so that you feel fully informed and supported.
