Facial volume loss is a natural part of the ageing process and occurs as the underlying fat pads, collagen and bone support gradually change over time. These changes can lead to a hollowed, tired or flattened appearance, particularly in areas such as the cheeks, temples and under-eye region.
At Elucell Skin Clinic in Richmond, facial volume loss is assessed through a doctor-led consultation that considers facial anatomy, proportions and skin quality. Treatment pathways are personalised and may involve non-surgical approaches that support structural balance, skin quality and overall facial harmony.
• Volume loss in the face refers to the gradual reduction of fat pads, collagen and bone density that support facial contours.
• As these structures diminish, the face may appear less defined, with changes in shape rather than just surface wrinkles.
Contributing factors include:
• age-related fat pad migration and atrophy
• reduction in collagen and elastin production
• bone resorption over time
• genetic predisposition
• weight fluctuations
• environmental factors such as sun exposure
Volume loss is a key driver of facial ageing and often contributes to secondary concerns such as sagging skin and deeper folds.
Procedures at Elucell are provided within a doctor-led medical setting. All consultations and treatment planning are conducted by Dr Daiana Baragan (MBBS, Diploma of Aesthetic Medicine), Medical Practitioner – MED0002148322 (General Registration), who provides clinical oversight and assesses suitability for all treatments.
Dr Baragan is supported by Registered Nurses (Division 1, RN) who may assist with patient care and procedural support within their professional scope of practice and under medical governance. The doctor-led and registered general practitioners operates in accordance with evidence-informed practice and established clinical standards.
Elucell’s approach prioritises patient safety, informed consent, and individual assessment, with treatment discussions focused on appropriate care pathways and long-term skin health rather than guaranteed or immediate results.
Appointments typically take 30–90 minutes, depending on the treatment plan and number of areas addressed.
Most treatments are minimally invasive with little to no downtime. Mild swelling, bruising or tenderness may occur temporarily. LED Healite therapy may be incorporated to support comfort and recovery.
