Volume Loss and sagging

As we age, we loose volume in our face in a number of ways, we loose volume in our fat compartments, things begin to sag and our bones even reduce in size. All of these changes can result in a sunken, gaunt or sagging appearance.
Some people also just naturally have less volume in certain areas than others. Dermal fillers can be used to replace volume, and can be used as a platform to help support the structures of the face, resulting in a lifting and fullness effect. Profhilo is a bioremodeling treatment which is another option for some.

At Restore Cosmetic Medicine we only use Hyaluronic Acid Dermal fillers, you can read more about these and see some typical before and afters here. Often, along with volume loss and sagging, comes ageing skin which may appear thin, dull and have fine lines.
We have lots of tools up our sleeve to help with all aspects of skin health. Often medical grade skin care and skin treatments such as collagen induction therapy or skin peels can be very helpful in approving the overall health and appearance of the skin and face.

Come and see us for a consultation to discuss what might work for you.
