The effects of aging may hit you early or sneak in later, but either way, you’ll deal with inevitable changes in the form of facial deflation. Also known as volume loss, facial deflation refers to age-related changes to pockets of fat in your face.
You’ve got a new ally in the battle against the effects of aging. To restore lost volume, turn to Juvéderm® and its line of facial filler products. Visit Roy Seidenberg, MD, at his practice in the Murray Hill/Midtown East area of New York City for his expert guidance on naturally addressing facial deflation.
While skin often takes the blame for the effects of aging on your face, there’s growing evidence that the natural stores of fat in your face play a much greater role than previously thought. While skin and ligament laxity in the midface contribute to aging, fat loss near the surface and deeper layers creates significant changes as years pass.
A study of patients in their mid-40s who had computed tomography (CT) scans of the head taken at least a decade apart shows that superficial fat in the face decreased an average of 11.3% while, during the same time span, they lost an average of 18.4% of deep facial fat volume.
These findings support the volume loss concept of facial aging, which relies less on external factors and more on fundamental changes in the body. Though it’s still some way off, new approaches to surgery for facial rejuvenation based on this theory may be possible.
While it's great to have promises for the future, aging won’t wait for technology. You may have your skincare game together now, but what are you doing to combat the effects of facial deflation?
Dr. Seidenberg and his team recommend rebuilding youthful volume with Juvéderm. Using synthesized hyaluronic acid (HA), a key natural protein in your body, Juvéderm’s line-up of dermal filler formulas can add back below-the-surface tissue volume to support your skin.
HA forms the base of injectable gels that attract and trap moisture within your body, naturally hydrating skin around injection points. Juvéderm’s primary function, though, is filling in for lost tissue.
Each product has a formulation that plays its own role. Some Juvéderm gels stay close to the injection point, which is ideal for filling fissures and lines, while others spread naturally, restoring volume smoothly over wider areas. Think of these six formulas as an artist’s palette, capable of extensive customization to meet your needs.
Juvéderm has United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for treating seven common aging issues associated with subdermal volume loss. Depending on your skin conditions and the products used, you could see long-lasting results for up to two years after your treatment.
