What causes loss of volume ?

Over time, the bones and fat pads in our face shrink providing less structure for our skin to hold on to. At the same time, our collagen and elastin – the proteins used to keep our skin looking plump and volumised – declines. These factors combined lead to the appearance of sagging cheeks, hollows under the eyes and on the temples, thin lips and a heavy appearance around the jawline.

How is loss of volume treated at Nish Clinic ?

The most effective way to address volume loss is with dermal fillers. Using specialised techniques, we can add volume where it’s missing – usually in the lips, temples, cheeks and under the eyes, lift sagging cheeks and contour the jawline for a more youthful appearance.

We offer different types of dermal filler treatment that is tailored to your unique requirements.

Are there any side effects or complications associated with loss of volume treatment ?

It’s normal to experience slight swelling, redness, pin-prick bleeding and a little discomfort immediately after dermal filler treatment, which can last for a day or two. Bruising can also occur and may last a bit longer but can be managed with arnica.

At Nish Clinic, we have strict protocols in place to minimise the risk of complications such as infection and vascular occlusion. This includes providing a detailed and personalised consultation to ensure you’re right for treatment before going ahead.

What results can you expect ?

Depending on the type of dermal filler we use, the length of time results will last can vary from between six to 24 months. We’ll advise you on your most suitable options during your consultation.
