Volume Loss and Sagging Skin Treatment in Wymondham

From our thirties onwards the bone of the face slowly changes shape, the fat pads that sit over it shrink and move, and the skin loses collagen and elasticity. The result is a familiar pattern: flatter cheeks, a deeper line from nose to mouth, softening along the jawline and, in time, the start of jowls.

Where volume has genuinely been lost, hyaluronic acid dermal filler can restore it precisely, for example to lift and contour the cheekbone or soften the nose to mouth lines. You see a change straight away, it settles over the next seven days as the filler integrates, and results last around 6 to 18 months depending on the area treated.

Biostimulators work differently. Rather than adding volume all at once, Sculptra, Radiesse and Harmony CA prompt your skin to make its own collagen, gradually improving thickness and firmness. Changes usually start to show at four to eight weeks, the best results are seen at two to six months, and they can last 12 to 24 months depending on the product. Radiesse and Harmony CA also give some immediate structure. Profhilo is a high concentration hyaluronic acid gel that helps with laxity and firmness across the face and neck.

Where the main issue is loose skin rather than lost volume, energy treatments can help. Endolift uses a very fine laser fibre placed just under the skin, with no cutting, to tighten collagen and stimulate longer-term firming, and results continue to improve over two to three months. Radiofrequency heats the deeper layer of the skin to encourage collagen and is offered as a course of six sessions, four weeks apart.

Non-surgical treatments can make a real difference to early and moderate sagging, but they cannot match a surgical facelift where skin is very loose. If that is where you are, Annie will tell you honestly rather than suggest treatments that will not give you what you want.
