The Natural Progression of Facial Aging
As we journey through life, our faces tell stories of our experiences, but they also reveal the biological processes of aging that affect our appearance. At Elite Aesthetics, we frequently encounter clients concerned about volume loss in their facial features, particularly in the mid-face region.
What Causes Facial Volume Loss?
Several factors contribute to the loss of facial volume:
• Natural collagen depletion
• Reduction in fat pad thickness
• Bone density changes
• Environmental factors
• Lifestyle choices
The Role of Collagen
Our skin’s support structure relies heavily on collagen production, which naturally decreases by approximately 1% each year after age 20. This gradual decline leads to:
• Decreased skin elasticity
• Formation of fine lines
• Hollowing of cheeks
• Deepening of nasolabial folds
Modern Solutions
Today’s aesthetic medicine offers various solutions to address volume loss, including:
• Dermal fillers
• Collagen stimulators
• Volumizing treatments
• Combination therapies
Understanding these natural processes helps our Manhattan clients make informed decisions about their aesthetic goals. Whether you’re in Chelsea or Greenwich Village, Elite Aesthetics provides personalized treatment plans that work with your body’s natural aging process.
