Aesthetic Medicine for Volume Loss Age Management

Volume Loss & Age Management

Frequently Asked Questions

• Here’s a revised version ofWhat areas of volume loss can be treated?

  Aesthetic medicine addresses various concerns associated with aging skin, including the appearance of lines and folds on the face. Treatments target volume loss in areas such as the chin, forehead, and around the eyes, effectively minimizing crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines, marionette lines (between the lips and the chin), and nasolabial folds (between the nose and the lips). Techniques in age management can also enhance brow lifts, reshape the chin, define the jawline, reduce the appearance of jowls, enhance lip fullness, and treat temple hollows and tired eyes.

• What is getting volume loss treatment like?

  During your initial consultation, your practitioner will discuss your skin concerns, evaluate how your face moves, and observe your natural facial expressions to determine the best treatment options for age management and volume loss. They will then apply aesthetic medicine techniques to enhance your skin’s appearance. After the procedure, some patients may experience mild bruising or swelling, which typically subsides within a few days. The duration of visible results can vary based on factors such as the treatment area, the specific products used, and your individual metabolism. By addressing these concerns, you can achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance while effectively managing the signs of ageing skin.

• Are there any side effects?

  Your practitioner will explain any potential side effects specific to the treatment area, but in general, aesthetic medicine is a safe and effective approach for managing volume loss and age-related concerns. While there are some rare but more severe side effects, such as allergic reactions and infections, the risk of asymmetrical results is minimised when the procedure is performed by an experienced, board-certified doctor or registered nurse. Overall, aesthetic medicine is a popular and effective way to preserve a youthful appearance and enhance skin vitality.

• Is there anything I should avoid before getting dermal fillers?

  In the week leading up to your appointment, you should avoid taking ibuprofen and aspirin (you can take paracetamol if needed), vitamin E and fish oil supplements as they can exacerbate bruising and bleeding.

• Is it safe to get aesthetic treatment treatment while breastfeeding?

  You are required to notify your practitioner if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, so we can discuss any potential implications.

• Can men have volume loss treatment?

  Aesthetic medicine can be a powerful tool for rejuvenation without the need for surgery. As we age, both men and women experience volume loss, particularly in areas like the under-eye hollows (tear troughs), which can be more pronounced in men due to the heavier quality of their skin and facial bone structure. This volume loss can create unwanted shadows, making individuals appear tired. A tailored approach to age management can help restore this volume, allowing men to look more refreshed. Additionally, many men seek to define their chin and jawline, soften nasolabial folds, and address volume loss in the lower cheeks. At Elucell, our aim is to enhance your appearance while ensuring you look naturally rejuvenated.
