What is Aging and Volume Loss?
Aging and volume loss are the inevitable product of many different factors. Although we tend to think of aging as manifesting in certain ways, it’s actually intrinsically tied to volume loss. By treating volume loss, you can treat many of the telltale signs of aging.
Signs of Aging and Volume Loss
Nasolabial folds
Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from the corners of the nose to the mouth. Although many people naturally have them, they can deepen with age as the cheeks begin to sag.
Jowls
Jowls are skin that hangs from the jawline, which can become more pronounced as you age. They’re usually the result of skin in the cheeks that loses its support and falls downward.
Hollow cheeks
Full, rounded cheeks are a sign of youth. As you age, however, it’s normal for the fat pads in the cheeks to shift downward, resulting in a hollow look.
What Causes Aging and Volume Loss?
Aging is caused by the loss of collagen, an important structure in the skin responsible for suppleness and supporting the overlying structures. Collagen and elastin form an elaborate matrix that can begin to break down over time as the body produces less collagen. This can begin to happen as early as your 30s. When your skin has less support, the skin and fat pad can begin to sag, folding in on itself and causing areas of hollowness.
