Why Volume Loss Occurs
As we age, changes naturally occur in the deeper layers of the skin, fat, muscle, and bone structure. One of these changes is a gradual reduction in volume. This can contribute to features such as hollowing in certain areas, a reduction in facial fullness, and changes to overall contour.
Volume loss is influenced by a combination of factors including:
- The natural ageing process
- Genetics
- Lifestyle. influences (such as sun exposure, smoking, and diet)
- Changes in skin elasticity and hydration
These changes are part of the body's natural ageing journey.
