Volume Loss
Facial volume loss is a natural part of ageing that occurs as collagen, fat, bone support and skin elasticity gradually decline over time. This can lead to hollow cheeks, sunken temples, under-eye hollows, deeper facial folds and a less defined facial contour. Restoring lost volume can help create a healthier, more refreshed and naturally balanced appearance.
Understanding Volume Loss
Why Does Facial Volume Loss Occur?
Facial ageing is not simply a skin-deep process. Over time, changes occur throughout the face's support structures.
Collagen Depletion
Collagen provides structure and firmness to the skin. As collagen production declines, the skin becomes thinner and less resilient.
Fat Pad Loss & Descent
Facial fat compartments gradually shrink and shift downward with age, contributing to hollowing and sagging.
Bone Remodelling
The facial skeleton undergoes gradual structural changes over time, reducing support for the overlying tissues.
Reduced Skin Elasticity
Loss of elastin and hydration can make the skin appear thinner and less supple.
Common Signs Of Volume Loss
Hollow Cheeks
Loss of mid-face volume can create a flatter, less youthful facial appearance.Sunken Temples
Temple hollowing can contribute to a more skeletal appearance.Under-Eye Hollows
Volume loss beneath the eyes may create shadowing and a tired appearance.Deeper Facial Folds
As structural support diminishes, folds such as the nasolabial lines and marionette lines may become more prominent.Loss Of Facial Definition
The cheeks, jawline and lower face may appear less contoured over time.

Treatment Approach
Our Approach To Volume Restoration
Volume restoration should enhance facial harmony rather than simply add volume.
Assess
We assess areas of facial volume loss, skin quality and structural support to understand how ageing has affected your facial contours and balance.
Personalise
A personalised treatment plan is designed to restore volume where needed while respecting your natural facial proportions and aesthetic goals.
Restore
Regenerative and volume-restoring treatments replenish structural support, stimulate collagen and enhance facial contours for a refreshed appearance.
Balance
As facial support is restored, your features appear naturally balanced, youthful and harmonious while maintaining your unique facial identity.
Recommended Treatments
Biostimulators
Biostimulators work by encouraging the body's natural collagen production. Rather than providing immediate volume alone, they gradually improve skin quality, support facial structure and restore volume over time. Results develop progressively and may last up to two years or longer.
Suitable For
Early to moderate volume loss
Facial ageing
Skin laxity
Long-term collagen support.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers provide immediate volume restoration and contour enhancement using hyaluronic acid-based products. They are commonly used for the cheeks, tear troughs, lips and facial folds.
Suitable For
Hollow cheeks
Tear troughs
Nasolabial folds
Marionette lines
Lip enhancement
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting uses the body's own fat to restore lost facial volume. The transferred fat integrates with surrounding tissue and may provide long-lasting volume restoration while maintaining a natural look and feel.
Suitable For
Significant volume loss
Facial contour deficiencies
Long-term volume restoration
Precision Regenerative Micro-Infusion
This regenerative treatment improves hydration, skin density and collagen support. While not a volumising treatment, it can complement volume restoration by improving overall skin quality and resilience.
Suitable For
Ageing skin
Crepey skin
Early facial ageing
Skin quality optimisation
Frequently Asked Questions
Clinical Perspective
Every patient presents with unique concerns, anatomy, skin quality and treatment goals. At Rexults, every recommendation begins with a comprehensive medical assessment, allowing us to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses the underlying cause of the concern rather than simply treating its visible signs. Depending on your individual needs, treatment may involve a single procedure or a carefully tailored combination approach to achieve safe, natural and long-lasting results.
-
Volume loss can begin as early as the late twenties and thirties, although it becomes more noticeable with age.
-
In many cases, yes. Loss of underlying support can contribute to folds, sagging and wrinkle formation.
-
Fillers provide immediate volume, while biostimulators gradually stimulate collagen production to improve structural support over time.
-
A personalised treatment approach focuses on restoring balance and proportion rather than creating excessive volume.
-
The ideal treatment depends on the degree of volume loss, facial anatomy and individual goals. Many patients benefit from a combination of regenerative and volumising treatments.
-
While ageing cannot be stopped, many of the visible effects of volume loss can be improved through appropriate treatment and ongoing maintenance.
