Facial Volume Loss
Facial Volume Loss Treatment in Sacramento
At Beauty By Barr MD, we understand that facial volume loss is a natural part of the aging process, but it can still significantly impact one’s appearance and self-esteem. This common concern is characterized by the thinning of facial tissues, leading to sagging skin, hollowed cheeks, and a less youthful facial contour. We specialize in restoring lost volume and rejuvenating facial features using a variety of techniques, including dermal fillers, fat transfer procedures, and collagen-stimulating treatments. Each solution is carefully tailored to meet the unique needs and aesthetic goals of our clients, ensuring natural-looking and long-lasting results.
What Causes Facial Volume Loss?
- Aging: As we age, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin, proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin. The subcutaneous fat that gives our faces a plump, youthful appearance also diminishes with age, leading to a more hollow or sagging appearance.
- Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can break down collagen and elastin more rapidly, accelerating the aging process and contributing to volume loss.
- Weight Loss: Significant or rapid weight loss can result in reduced facial fat, leading to a sunken appearance in areas like the cheeks and under the eyes.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal changes, especially during menopause, can affect the skin’s ability to retain moisture and its overall texture and thickness, contributing to facial volume loss.
