- Loss of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that keep the skin firm, elastic and youthful-looking
- Reduced fat and bone density, resulting in a loss of volume in the cheeks, temples and under the eyes
- Gravity, which pulls down on the skin and causes it to sag and droop over time
- Sun damage, as exposure to UV rays can lead to wrinkles, sunspots and a loss of elasticity in the skin
- Lifestyle factors, such as smoking, alcohol consumption and a poor diet
- Genetics, as some people are more prone to sagging and volume loss than others
At Tracey Bell clinics, we can use several aesthetic medical techniques to replace facial volume and restore a more youthful appearance to the face. Some of these techniques include:
- Dermal Fillers – famous for adding volume to the cheeks, lips, temples and other areas of the face, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Fat Transfer – involving taking fat from one area of the body and injecting it into the face to add volume
- Thread Lifts – tiny threads inserted under the skin to lift and tighten the cheeks, jowls and neck
- Anti-Wrinkle Injections – used to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines on the face
- Laser Skin Resurfacing – can remove damaged skin and promote collagen production, restoring volume and elasticity
- Chemical Peels – exfoliate the skin and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells, improving texture and appearance
