Facial Hollowness

Short Summary

Facial hollowness refers to a loss of volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes, giving the face a tired or sunken appearance. It often develops gradually as collagen, elastin, and fat stores diminish with age, but can also occur due to weight loss, stress, or lifestyle factors.

As the skin loses its natural support structure, facial contours can appear less defined and the complexion may look fatigued. 


What treatments are available?

We offer a range of advanced treatments designed to restore facial volume and rejuvenate hollow or sunken areas. Our approach focuses on enhancing natural contours, improving skin elasticity, and achieving a refreshed yet balanced appearance.

Dermal Fillers provide immediate volume restoration for areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes, helping to lift and contour the face.

For longer-term rejuvenation, Radiesse is a biostimulatory treatment that not only replace lost volume but also stimulate the production of collagen to improve firmness, elasticity, and skin texture over time. Quantum RF provides long lasting and ever improving collagen stimulation.


What Causes Hollowness in the Face

Facial hollowness develops when the natural volume and structure beneath the skin begin to diminish. This can occur due to a combination of ageing, lifestyle factors, and genetics. As we age, the body produces less collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, leading to reduced skin elasticity and firmness. Fat pads that once supported the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area also shift and shrink, creating a sunken or tired appearance.

Other contributing factors include rapid weight loss, stress, smoking, and poor sleep, which can accelerate collagen breakdown and make hollow areas more noticeable. Some people may also experience facial hollowness earlier due to natural bone structure or a naturally slimmer face shape.
