Volume Loss, Shape & Contour Treatment
Description of Treatment
A comprehensive consultation is required to discuss the client's concerns, expectations and suitability of treatment. At this point, a full facial assessment is performed with the client's consent. As a clinician, we must speak to the ageing factors and plan how we can achieve natural-looking results. with non-surgical aesthetic treatment options.
What Causes Facial Volume Loss?
Many factors contribute to volume loss, ageing factors affect bone, muscle and fat and skin. We lose Collagen which is responsible for providing skin with firmness, while elastin provides the skin's ability to recall and take back shape. Hormonal changes also affect our ageing and skin health.
Fat Resorption: Over time, the fat pads shrink which contributes to the hollowing of temples and cheeks.
Bone Density Loss: A reduction in bone density is another factor contributing to facial volume loss. Thinning bones can alter the underlying support structure of the face, leading to sagging skin and a loss of fullness.
Solar Damage: accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, and the quality of the skin.
Genetics and lifestyle also affect volume and skin quality. When we assess holistically for these changes, we can then tailor a plan to replace and mimic the natural underlying structures. Providing a rejuvenating effect.
This can be done over a series of visits to ensure a natural-looking result.

Recommendations
UltraMD & Ultraceauticals Skincare
For treating volume loss in the skin, typically associated with aging or environmental damage, it's important to focus on skincare ingredients that can stimulate collagen production, hydrate, and restore the skin’s structure. Here are some active ingredients commonly used to treat volume loss.
​
Retinoids (Retinol/Retinoic Acid)
Retinoids boost collagen production, promote skin cell turnover, and thicken the skin, which can improve the appearance of volume loss over time.
Hyaluronic Acid
While HA itself doesn’t stimulate collagen production, it provides intense hydration and plumps the skin, helping to restore lost volume. It draws water into the skin to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin look fuller and more youthful.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin C stimulates collagen production and can brighten the skin, addressing the appearance of sagging or thinning skin. It can also help protect against free radicals, preventing further breakdown of collagen.
Usage, Typically used in the morning before sunscreen.
​
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Niacinamide helps strengthen the skin’s barrier function, improve skin elasticity, and even out skin tone. While not directly stimulating volume restoration, it contributes to overall skin health.
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta-Hydroxy Acids (BHAs)
AHAs (like glycolic acid) and BHAs (like salicylic acid) gently exfoliate the skin, encouraging the shedding of dead skin cells and revealing fresher, more youthful skin underneath. Over time, this can improve the skin’s texture and volume.
Consistency is key
Active ingredients need time to work, so be patient and consistent with your routine.
Don’t forget sunscreen! Many active ingredients can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so make sure to use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning.
​
Dermapen Skin Needling Treatment
Microneedling device, often used in aesthetic treatments for skin rejuvenation, including addressing volume loss and skin texture issues. Microneedling with works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production.
​
Collagen Stimulation
Microneedling encourages the skin to heal itself by producing more collagen, a crucial protein that helps maintain the skin's firmness, elasticity, and volume. As we age, collagen production slows down, contributing to the loss of volume in areas like the cheeks, under the eyes, and the jawline. Derapen can help stimulate the skin to regenerate and restore some of that youthful fullness.
​
Improved Skin Texture: The treatment also improves skin texture and tone, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, which can often accompany volume loss.
​
Product Penetration: Microneedling can enhance the absorption of topical treatments, such as hyaluronic acid or peptides, which further support skin hydration and volume restoration.
​
Profhilo for Collagen Hydration and Firmness
Profhilo is an injectable treatment that focuses on hydrating the skin and stimulating collagen and elastin production. It’s a unique treatment because it uses high concentrations of hyaluronic acid but in a different way than traditional dermal fillers.
How it helps: Unlike standard fillers, Profhilo is injected into specific areas of the face to deeply hydrate and trigger collagen and elastin synthesis. It doesn’t add volume like a traditional filler but rather helps to restore skin tone, texture, and elasticity, making it ideal for skin that is beginning to show signs of laxity or thinning.
Benefits
It’s great for overall skin rejuvenation, improving texture and elasticity.
Ideal for areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, and décolletage.
Can be used as a preventive measure for aging skin and volume loss, even in younger individuals who want to maintain healthy collagen levels.
Longevity
Results from Profhilo can last for up to 6 months, with improvements typically visible within a few weeks after treatment. A series of two treatments, spaced about a month apart, is usually recommended for optimal results.
Sculptra for Collagen Stimulation
Sculptra is a non-surgical treatment that works by stimulating your body’s collagen production. It’s made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic substance.
-
How it helps: Sculptra doesn’t add volume directly. Instead, it gradually stimulates collagen production over time, which naturally restores volume to the face. It’s great for addressing deeper volume loss in areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline.
-
Sculptra works by encouraging the skin to rebuild its structure, improving skin thickness and density.
-
-
Benefits:
-
Results are gradual, typically becoming visible after 6-8 weeks and continuing to improve over several months.
-
Lasting effects: The collagen-building process can provide results that last for up to 2 years or more, depending on individual factors.
-
-
Longevity: One of the key benefits of Sculptra is that its effects can last for up to 2 years, which makes it a good long-term option for those looking for gradual but sustained volume restoration.
Comparison and Considerations
-
For Immediate Volume Restoration: Dermal fillers provide an instant solution for volume loss and are perfect for targeting specific areas (e.g., cheeks, under-eye area). They’re great for people who want quick results with minimal downtime.
-
For Gradual, Long-Term Collagen Building: Sculptra is a fantastic option for those who want to restore overall facial volume over time by stimulating their own collagen production. It’s ideal for deeper volume loss and longer-lasting results.
-
For Skin Hydration and Overall Firmness: Profhilo works best for improving skin texture, hydration, and elasticity, particularly for individuals who want to prevent aging or who have mild to moderate skin laxity. It’s a great treatment for skin that’s starting to lose its firmness.
Combination Approach
In many cases, we combine treatments to get the best of both worlds. For example, you might use Sculptra or Profhilo for long-term collagen support and then add dermal fillers for immediate volume restoration in key areas.
