Restore Youthful Contours Naturally
Cheek, Chin & Nose Volume Loss Treatment in Scottsdale
Aging is inevitable, but that doesn’t mean we must accept the visible changes it brings to our skin. Over time, the loss of elasticity, the thinning of the skin, and the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging can all affect how we feel about our appearance. Facial volume loss is a core sign of aging, affecting the cheeks, under-eye area, jawline, and even the temples. It occurs due to collagen degradation, fat redistribution, and bone resorption, all contributing to the hollow or sunken look many people notice over time.
At Source of Health in Scottsdale, we offer advanced, non-surgical treatments designed to restore youthful contours naturally and subtly. Our goal is to help you look refreshed and rejuvenated without the fear of an “overfilled” look. Our expert team uses treatments like Sculptra®, EZ-Gel Biofiller, and traditional dermal fillers to target volume loss at the root cause, enhancing your natural beauty with natural and long-lasting results.
With our collagen-stimulating treatments and personalized care, we can help you restore facial volume and rebuild collagen over time so you can enjoy a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance. Whether you want to enhance hollow cheeks, improve sunken eyes, or rejuvenate the jawline, we provide solutions that align with your aesthetic goals.
Hormonal imbalances can be treated with two popular treatments: hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and peptide therapy. Let’s break down the differences:
Why Does Facial Volume Loss Happen?
It is natural for the face to lose volume over time, but various factors can exacerbate it. Understanding the reasons behind collagen loss and the redistribution of fat in the face helps one better appreciate the significance of regenerative treatments like Sculptra® and EZ-Gel Biofiller.
Collagen Degradation
In your skin, collagen provides strength and elasticity. We produce less collagen as we age, which causes sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. This reduction in collagen makes the skin appear thinner and less plump, causing areas of the face to look sunken or hollow.
Fat Redistribution
Over time, fat pads in the face shift downward, resulting in volume loss in key areas like the cheeks, under-eye area, and temples. This change in fat distribution can make the face look more hollow or gaunt.
Bone Resorption
As we age, the bones in our face, particularly the jawline and cheeks, lose density. This reduction in bone mass can create the appearance of more prominent lines, sagging, and hollowed-out features.
At Source of Health, we focus on collagen restoration and volume rebuilding using innovative, collagen-stimulating therapies like Sculptra®. These treatments help your skin regain the firmness and volume lost due to these age-related changes.
Signs You May Be Losing Facial Volume
Facial volume loss can happen gradually, but there are specific signs to look out for:
Hollow Cheeks and Sunken Eyes
Loss of cheek volume is one of the first signs of facial aging. As the fat pads in the cheeks shrink, the face can appear hollow or deflated. Under-eye hollows and dark circles can also form as the skin thins and volume decreases.
Sagging Jawline and Jowls
A loss of jawline definition and the appearance of jowls often occurs when facial fat shifts downward, causing sagging skin along the lower face. This results in a less sculpted jawline.
Nasolabial Folds
The lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth (also known as laugh lines) become more pronounced as facial volume decreases, making the face look older and more tired.
Thin Lips
The lips can appear thinner or less defined as volume is lost from the cheeks and surrounding areas. This is a common concern for those experiencing facial aging.
Restoring volume in targeted areas with collagen-stimulating treatments can rejuvenate the face and create a more youthful, natural appearance.
Best Treatments for Volume Loss in the Face
At Source of Health, we offer several innovative treatments to restore volume and rejuvenate the face. Here are some of the most effective options:
Sculptra® (Biostimulator)
Sculptra® is a collagen-stimulating injectable that slowly restores lost volume and reduces wrinkles. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra® stimulates your body’s collagen production, improving skin structure and thickness over time. It’s especially effective for restoring sunken cheeks and improving skin elasticity in the lower face and jawline. The results can last up to two years, offering a long-term solution for volume loss.
EZ-Gel Biofiller (Autologous Plasma Filler)
EZ-Gel Biofiller is an advanced treatment using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to restore facial volume. This autologous filler is made from your blood and injected into areas where volume loss is most noticeable, like the cheeks, under-eye area, and nasolabial folds. EZ-Gel Biofiller promotes collagen production, improving facial volume over time and providing a natural, regenerative solution to aging skin.
Dermal Fillers (Immediate Volume)
Dermal fillers are a popular choice for instant volume restoration in areas like the cheeks, under-eye area, and lips. Fillers such as hyaluronic acid-based injections replenish lost volume and smooth wrinkles, providing an immediate result. While dermal fillers don’t stimulate collagen production in the same way as Sculptra® or EZ-Gel Biofiller, they’re ideal for patients seeking quick results and a non-surgical approach.
Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) enhances skin texture and stimulates collagen production, making it an excellent complement to injectable treatments. It’s ideal for improving the overall skin quality and tightening the skin while working alongside fillers and Sculptra® for collagen regeneration.
Sculptra® vs. Traditional Dermal Fillers
When it comes to treating facial volume loss, both Sculptra® and traditional dermal fillers offer practical solutions. However, the two treatments work differently and offer distinct benefits.
Sculptra®
Sculptra® is a biostimulant that stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, gradually restoring volume and improving the skin’s overall structure. The results are subtle and progressive, lasting up to two years. Sculptra® provides long-term relief from collagen loss and a more youthful appearance without frequent touch-ups.
Traditional Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, made of substances like hyaluronic acid, are designed to restore immediate volume in targeted areas. They are best for correcting hollow areas, fine lines, and wrinkles. While they provide instant results, the effects are not permanent, and regular maintenance is required to maintain the volume.
Sculptra® is ideal for those seeking gradual, long-term results, while dermal fillers are ideal for those wanting quick fixes with minimal downtime.
What Is EZ-Gel Biofiller?
EZ-Gel Biofiller is an innovative, autologous plasma-based filler that uses your body’s platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to restore lost volume and improve skin texture. This advanced technique combines the healing power of PRP with a gel-like substance that adds volume to areas affected by facial volume loss.
One of the main benefits of EZ-Gel Biofiller is that it uses your plasma, which minimizes allergic reactions and side effects. Plasma-rich platelets are derived from your blood, containing growth factors that boost collagen production. As a result, EZ-Gel Biofiller provides natural-looking, regenerative results that improve over time.
This treatment is particularly effective for hollow cheeks, sunken under-eye areas, and nasolabial folds. By improving skin quality and restoring volume in these areas, EZ-Gel Biofiller offers a regenerative approach to facial restoration.
How to Rebuild Collagen Over Time
Collagen loss is one of the main contributors to facial volume loss, but there are several treatments available that can help you rebuild collagen over time:
- Sculptra®: By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra® works gradually to restore volume and improve skin structure. It’s an ideal treatment for long-term collagen regeneration.
- Microneedling: Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is another effective method for stimulating collagen and improving skin texture. Microchannels are created in the skin, encouraging the body’s natural healing process and collagen production.
- EZ-Gel Biofiller: This collagen-stimulating treatment uses your body’s own PRP to promote collagen production and restore volume over time.
These treatments can rebuild your skin’s strength and elasticity, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
FAQs About Facial Volume Loss & Correction
Collagen degradation, fat redistribution, and bone resorption cause facial volume loss. As we age, the skin’s ability to produce collagen decreases, and fat pads shift, leading to areas like the cheeks, under-eye region, and jawline becoming hollow or sunken. Bone loss, particularly in the cheeks and jawline, further contributes to a sagging or deflated appearance.
Sculptra® is ideal for gradual, long-term facial volume restoration, as it stimulates collagen production over time. Unlike traditional fillers, which provide instant volume, Sculptra® offers more natural-looking, long-lasting results lasting up to two years. Traditional fillers give immediate volume but may require frequent touch-ups.
Results from Sculptra® can last up to two years, depending on individual skin conditions and the treatment area. Traditional dermal fillers typically last anywhere from 6 months to a year. For EZ-Gel Biofiller, the regenerative effects improve over time as collagen production is stimulated, and the results continue to enhance after treatment.
The most natural way to restore facial volume is through treatments like Sculptra®, which stimulates collagen production from within, or EZ-Gel Biofiller, which uses your platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to promote regeneration. These treatments work with your body’s natural healing processes, providing gradual, subtle results that won’t appear overfilled.
The areas most commonly affected by facial fat loss are the cheeks, under-eye area, temples, and jawline. These areas can lose volume, causing a hollow or sunken appearance. Restoring volume in these regions is key to rejuvenating the face and achieving a -youthful contour.
