Facial changes are a natural part of aging, and one of the most noticeable shifts is the gradual loss of volume in the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. Factors like weight loss, sun exposure, and the dry Arizona climate can speed up this process.
At Lazaderm in Chandler, AZ, we see many patients seeking ways to restore balance to their features when volume loss becomes more apparent. We offer options that can help replenish some of this lost fullness and give you a smoother, more refreshed look.
What Causes Facial Volume Loss
Facial volume loss develops because the structures that keep the face looking full begin to change with age. Fat pads that give the face volume can start to thin and shift, muscles lose some of their support, and the skin produces less collagen and elastin. These changes make the face appear less lifted and more hollow in certain areas. Environmental stressors, which are very noticeable in Arizona, can break down collagen more quickly. Other factors like weight changes, genetics, and lifestyle habits like smoking also determine how early or how strongly you may see these changes.
Common Areas for Facial Volume Loss
Volume loss tends to show up first in the cheeks, which can flatten and create shadows that were not present before. Around the mouth, thinning tissue can make nasolabial folds and marionette lines more prominent, while a reduction in lip fullness can change facial balance. The under-eye area is another sensitive zone where fat pads shift. With our facial volume treatments, the focus is on restoring balance to these areas so your natural features look refreshed without altering their basic structure.
Our Facial Volume Loss Treatment Options
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers provide one of the most direct ways to restore lost fullness. We use smooth gel formulations made with hyaluronic acid to provide volume right where you want it. When we place fillers in areas like the cheeks, lips, or folds, they add structure back where tissue has thinned. Fillers also attract water molecules, which enhances their lifting and smoothing effect. They provide visible improvement right away and can last for several months. We offer products from the JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® families.
Sculptra®
Sculptra works differently from traditional fillers because it stimulates your body to rebuild its own collagen. The active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, triggers a response that encourages new collagen strands to form around it. As collagen increases, your skin gains back a more supportive framework that looks and feels natural. Sculptra can last up to two years and is often injected in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling combines two effective technologies into one treatment. Tiny needles create controlled microchannels in the skin while radiofrequency energy delivers heat to the tissue. Your body produces new collagen and elastin in response, tightening wrinkles, restoring areas of lost volume, and improving the tone of the skin. Secret™ RF microneedling can be a good option when you want gradual improvement that continues to build in the months following your treatment.
PDO Thread Lift
A PDO thread lift uses absorbable sutures that we place beneath the skin to create both immediate lift and long-term stimulation. The threads give gentle support right away to reduce drooping in areas like the jawline or cheeks. As your body naturally dissolves the threads, additional collagen remains for increased volume.
Hydrafacial®
Hydrafacial supports our other treatments by improving overall skin health. During this treatment, we cleanse and exfoliate your skin with a device that applies gentle suction to clear pores and infuse nourishing serums into the skin. Hydrafacial improves the skin’s ability to maintain elasticity and can be an excellent complement to other treatments, keeping your skin balanced and well-prepared to hold onto results.
What to Expect From Your Treatment
Consultation and planning: We begin with a detailed discussion about your concerns and examine where facial volume loss shows most clearly. Then we can decide which treatments or combination of treatments will provide the most natural improvement.
During the treatment: Your comfort is always a priority during our treatments. Some treatments, like the Hydrafacial, are relaxing by nature. Others, like RF microneedling, are made more comfortable through the use of topical numbing creams. Each of our facial volume treatments is fast and easy to fit into a lunch break.
Aftercare and results: Some treatments provide immediate improvement, while others build gradually as your body produces more collagen. You may have mild swelling or tenderness in the treated areas, which usually resolves quickly. We provide specific aftercare guidance so your skin heals properly and results develop as expected.
