It is normal for internal changes to occur as a person ages, affecting everyone, albeit in differing ways. This process can start as early as when a person is in their 20’s, with the effects not appearing until they reach their 30’s. Collagen and elastin are proteins that are found in the skin and are responsible for the full, firm and supple properties that are associated with a youthful complexion.

Ageing sees these substances decrease in production, along with a reduction in hyaluronic acid and bone density.

Facial volume loss can affect different parts of the mid and lower face and contribute to the development of other concerns, including: thin lips, flat cheeks, sagging skin and jowls. By replacing the substances that have resulted in the development of these conditions, the face can restore its youthful shape and well defined features.

At Nassif MedSpa dermal fillers can be used to add volume to various areas of the face, for a completely rejuvenated look. Dermal fillers will often contain hyaluronic acid within the smooth, injectable gel. This will help to give a boost of hydration within the skin and create an appearance that reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles and is generally more radiant.
