Aging
As we age, our skin naturally loses volume due to reduced collagen and elastin production, making it less firm and more prone to sagging. Decreased levels of hyaluronic acid lead to drier, thinner skin, while bone shrinkage and fat redistribution alter facial contours, creating sunken areas and hollows. These cumulative changes result in increased sagging, wrinkles, and an overall less youthful appearance. -
Genetics and hormonal changes
Our genes and hormones shape how our skin ages and loses volume. Genetic factors control collagen production and skin elasticity, while hormonal changes, particularly during menopause, can accelerate these effects by reducing collagen and skin moisture, leading to dryness, thinning, and volume loss. -
Extrinsic factors
Spending too much time in the sun or smoking can speed up how quickly our skin ages and loses volume by breaking down important proteins like collagen and elastin. Pollution and stress also play a part, causing our skin to age faster and lose its firmness over time. -
Weight Loss and Medical Conditions
Weight loss can make our skin look thinner as we lose fat underneath, which reduces its fullness. Medical conditions such as HIV, cancer, and autoimmune diseases, along with treatments like chemotherapy, can also lead to loss of fat tissue, changing the appearance of our skin's volume.
