There’s no shame in aging, but there is also no shame in wanting to look your best, and that’s what our team of experts are here for. If you’ve started to see changes in your skin associated with age, The Rejuva Center at Williams can help.
Mid-Face
What is Volume Loss?
To understand how to address the changes in your face due to age, you first need to understand your skin and what it goes through during the aging process. There are two vital proteins that work to keep your skin looking supple and youthful – collagen and elastin. These essential building blocks to beautiful skin help retain the correct balance of moisture and keep your skin firm and healthy, able to easily bounce back after injury or damage. As you age, the existing collagen weakens and breaks down, the production of healthy new collagen and elastin slows, and your skin becomes less able to withstand everyday damage and environmental effects. The result? Increasingly more noticeable lines and wrinkles, changes in the texture of your skin.
At the same time, age also causes facial fat to decrease and “fall,” as the structures underneath weaken and are unable to support the natural padding. This leads to a gradual loss of definition in your cheeks and jawline, as well as a hollowing effect in your temples and under your eyes. You may also notice that wrinkles and fine lines are more evident, as loss of volume can also increase the visibility of existing flaws.
What Contributes to Volume Loss?
There are several factors that contribute to a loss of volume in your face. Some, like genetics and the natural aging process, are unavoidable.
However, other causes of volume loss and symptoms of aging are preventable, including:
- Weight gain and loss
- Sun damage
- Injury or trauma
- Lifestyle choices (such as smoking and dehydration)
- Illness
- Hormone changes
- Stress
While some volume loss is inevitable, at The Rejuva Center at Williams, we offer several options for restoring and refreshing your appearance.
