Skin Quality & Loss of Volume

At SkinnDeep Aesthetics, we recognise that changes in facial volume and skin quality occur over time and may reflect shifts in collagen, elastin, fat distribution, and hydration. These changes can present as reduced fullness or variations in skin texture and tone.

Our approach focuses on thorough assessment and appropriate treatment selection. A range of options may be considered, including collagen-stimulating treatments, PRP, exosome therapy, HA-based volumising treatments, and skin boosters, alongside supportive skincare. The aim of treatment is to assist in improving the appearance of skin quality, structure, and hydration over time, within a considered and clinically appropriate framework.

Q

  • Changes in SKIN colour / appearance are caused by a mix of intrinsic

  • ( natural aging, genetics, hormones) and extrinsic ( lifestyle, environmental, skincare) factors. 

  • Collagen & Elastin Depletion ( affects volume, Firmness & Texture) 

  1.  Ageing : After 25, collagen declines leading to skin sagging and  cheek hollowing - cheeks, temples, under-eyes ​

  2. Menopause & hormonal Changes Estrogen drop in women and testosterone decline in men accelerate collagen loss. 

  3. UV Exposure: UV damage breaks down collagen and leads to premature wrinkles

  4. Smoking & Pollution: Free radicals damage collagen, making skin appear thin and dull 

  •  Fat & /Bone Loss ( Affects Facial Contour & Definition) ​

  1. Subcutaneous Fat Loss: Fat pads shrink, leading to a gaunt or sunken appearance ( especially around the eyes, cheeks and jawline).​

  2. Weight Fluctuations: Rapid weight loss reduces facial fat, contributing to hollow look. 

  • Hydration & Skin Barrier Decline ( Affects Glow & smoothness)

  1. Hyaluronic Acid Production: Skin holds less water, becoming drier, rougher and less plump.​

  2.  Weakened Skin Barrier: Over-exfoliation, harsh skincare or dehydration lead to water loss, irritation and dullness​

  3. Diet & Hydration: Poor nutrition ( low in omedga-3s, antioxidants and water) reduces skin natural hydration. 

  • Changes in Skin Colour & Tone: Affects Radiance and Evenness ​

  1. Pigmentation Issues: Melanin changes - aging, sun exposure and hormonal shifts caus hyper-pigmentation ( sun spots, melasma) ​

  2. Circulation Reduction:  less blood flow causes dull, gray or sallow skin, especially in smokers and those with poot circulation. 

  3. Inflammation & Sensitivity: skin conditions( rosacea, shczema, allergies)  raised redness, uneven ton and irritation

Hormonal & Gender Differences in Skin Ageing. 
How to Combat these Effects ?

  • WOMEN in General:

  1. Experience faster collagen loss due to hormone changes and pre7  post - menopause symptoms (30% drop in the first 5 yrs ) ​

  2. Thinner collagen skin structure makes them prone to fine lines earlier 

  3. Lifestyle: Bad sunbaking habits, diet, smoking, alcohol, stress, medication side effects, sleep deprivation are just some of the causes that can lead to unhealthy looking skin. 

  • MEN​ in General: 

  1. Have thicker skin ( by ~ 25%) with more collagen but experience sudden aging after 40 when collagen loss accelerates. ​

  2. Oilier skin due to higher sebum production delays wrinkles but increases the risk of enlarged pores and rough texture.

  • To Combat these Effects ​they could: 

  1. Medical Aesthetics: Collagen bio stimulators, PRP, Exosomes, HA fillers and skin Boosters​

  2. Skincare: Retinoids, Vitamin C HA, Peptides, SPF, Cleansers

  3. Lifestyle: Hydration, balance diet, sleep, stress management, decrease alcohol, stop smoking, limit sugars

 

IT IS TIME FOR MEN ~ DEFFINIGHTLY NEED TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF THEIR SKIN & THEY NEED TO LOOK AT THE REASON WHY WE TAKE SPF SO SERIOUSLY. ​

​Many men neglect skincare and sun protection, assuming their skin is tougher and more resilient. While men's skin is thicker and produces more oil, it doesn't mean they immune to damage. In fact, men are at the higher risk of skin cancer and premature ageing --- especially those who work outdoors. Men develop skin cancer more often than women, with studies showing they are twice the rate of developing BCC and SCC the most common types of Ca. They also have higher mortality rates from melanoma, as men often detect it too late. Another factor is regular shaving ~ which removes the top skin barrier, making it more prone to sun damage and skin sensitivity. Adding aftershave with alcohol,  increase skin dryness, worsening sun damage and without SPF, UV rays penetrate deeper, causing irritation, dryness,  sensitivity and deep wrinkles.
