How Does It Work?

​

Facial volume replacement helps restore lost volume and plump areas to smooth deep-set lines. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining a youthful appearance. While the exact age at which collagen production decreases varies, it generally starts around 25, with levels declining at about 2% per year. By the late twenties, collagen production significantly diminishes. Facial volume replacement has been used for decades to counteract this loss and add lift.

How Long Do the Results Last?

​

The results of facial volume replacement typically last between 6 to 12 months. The duration can vary based on the product used, the thickness of the product, the skin type, and the area treated. Individual factors, such as how quickly your body metabolizes the product, also play a role. The range of available viscosities and thicknesses ensures there is a suitable product for different facial areas and personal preferences.

What Are the Side Effects?
 

Normal side effects include temporary and mild reactions such as swelling, redness, tenderness, and bruising at the injection sites. Swelling may be more noticeable in areas such as the lips, and bruising can take several days to resolve. Less common risks can include unevenness, prolonged swelling, infection, or movement of the product. Rare but serious complications may occur if a blood vessel is affected, which is why treatments should only be performed by a qualified and experienced medical practitioner.
