Volume Loss Treatment in Brooklyn, NY
What Is Volume Loss?
Volume loss refers to the gradual reduction of fat, collagen, and structural support within the face that occurs as part of the natural aging process. As these foundational elements diminish, the face may appear hollow, sunken, or less defined. Volume loss in the face often contributes to a tired or aged appearance, even when the skin surface remains relatively smooth.
Facial volume loss can occur subtly over time or become more noticeable after weight changes, illness, or hormonal shifts. Many individuals seek loss of facial volume treatment to restore balance, support facial contours, and maintain a refreshed, youthful look without surgery.
Common Areas Affected
Volume loss can affect multiple areas of the face, particularly where fat pads naturally thin with age. Common areas include:
- Cheeks and midface: Loss of fullness can flatten facial contours
- Under eye area: Volume loss under the eyes may create hollows or shadows
- Temples: Sunken temples can alter the overall facial shape
- Jawline: Reduced volume may contribute to jowling
- Smile lines: Deepening folds caused by volume depletion
Under-eye volume loss is especially noticeable due to thinner skin and reduced structural support in this area.
Why Volume Loss Occurs
Facial volume loss develops due to a combination of biological and environmental factors. With age, collagen and elastin production slow, and facial fat pads gradually shrink or shift downward. This loss of internal support allows gravity to take effect, altering facial proportions.
Sun exposure accelerates collagen breakdown, while genetics and lifestyle factors such as smoking or poor nutrition may also contribute. Unlike surface wrinkles, volume loss affects the deeper layers of the face, which is why topical products alone cannot correct it.
Contributing Factors
Several factors influence the development of volume loss in the face, including:
- Natural aging and collagen depletion
- Loss and redistribution of facial fat
- Sun damage and UV exposure
- Weight fluctuations
- Genetics and lifestyle factors
Because these factors often overlap, facial volume loss tends to progress gradually over time.
How Is Volume Loss Treated?
Non-surgical treatments for volume loss focus on restoring structural support, replenishing lost volume, and stimulating collagen production. These treatments enhance facial contours while maintaining natural expression and balance.
At Skin Envy Cosmetic and Laser Center, volume restoration plans are customized based on facial anatomy, degree of volume loss, and individual aesthetic goals. Treatment selection depends on whether immediate volume, gradual collagen stimulation, or regenerative support is most appropriate.
Early treatment for volume loss may also help preserve facial structure, improve skin quality, and delay more advanced signs of aging when combined with a consistent skincare and sun protection routine.
Sculptra® Injections
Sculptra® injections stimulate the body's natural collagen production to gradually restore lost facial volume. This treatment improves facial structure over time and is commonly used to enhance the cheeks, temples, and overall facial volume.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers provide immediate volume restoration and contour support. Used as a filler for volume loss, they help smooth folds, enhance facial shape, and restore youthful proportions in areas such as the cheeks and under eyes.
EZGEL® / PRF EZGEL
EZGEL® is an advanced regenerative treatment derived from the patient's own blood. PRF EZGEL® supports natural tissue regeneration, improves skin quality, and restores subtle volume, particularly in delicate areas like under the eyes.
Treatments may be used individually or in combination, depending on the extent of volume loss and desired results.
