Aging process
As we age, our facial features begin to sag and wrinkle due to the breakdown of proteins such as collagen that provide structure and volume to our skin. Facial volume loss is especially noticeable in the cheeks, which can become hollow and sunken. This shift in fat balance can be caused by both aging and inherited genes, which often intensify the process.
- The most common cause of facial volume loss is a decrease in collagen production that occurs naturally with age. Collagen plays an important role in supporting the skin’s structure and giving it its youthful appearance. When collagen decreases, skin loses its elasticity which causes sagging and wrinkles to form. Additionally, the fat pads located beneath our skin start to shrink, resulting in a further reduction of facial volume.
- Though this process is inevitable for most people, there are measures you can take to improve your appearance. For example, many people opt for dermal fillers or non-surgical facelifts to restore lost volume and firmness around the cheeks and other areas of their face. At-home treatments such as creams containing hyaluronic acid can also help plump out your skin cells while providing hydration throughout the day.
Dermal fillers are an effective way to restore lost volume in the cheeks, resulting in an improved facial shape and contour. Fillers such as Juvederm Voluma XC are designed specifically for restoring volume in the mid-face region. This filler is made up of hyaluronic acid, which helps attract and retain moisture while adding structure and support to the skin. It also improves skin elasticity by stimulating collagen production – helping reduce wrinkles over time. Results typically last up to two years with optimal treatment plans. Other options include different HA fillers such as Restylane Lyft and Teosyal Ultimate or different dermal fillers classes such as Bellafill, Sculptra and Radiesse. It is important to understand about different fillers, their efficacy, injection procedure, possible side effects and aftercare instructions.Chemical peels can improve cheek volume as well as treat skin discoloration due to sun damage or acne scarring. Peels use ingredients such as glycolic acid which dissolve dead skin cells from the surface of the face allowing fresh layers of healthy skin to take their place. This can help restore lost facial fat and firmness as well as improve overall complexion over time – giving your cheeks a fuller look without injections.

Getting Wrinkles
Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, and they can be caused by a variety of factors. One of the primary causes of wrinkles is age itself. As you get older, your skin naturally becomes less elastic and more fragile due to decreased production of natural oils. This drying effect leads to wrinkles that are deeper and more pronounced than those caused by other factors.
- Additionally, exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays speeds up the skin’s natural aging process, breaking down its connective tissue, such as collagen and elastin fibers which prevent wrinkles from forming. Without these supportive fibers, wrinkles become more prominent over time in areas that have been exposed to too much sun.
- Moreover, smoking can accelerate the normal aging process of your skin, contributing to premature wrinkles. The toxins in cigarette smoke damage collagen and elastin fibers, hindering the body’s ability to repair itself or produce new cells needed for healthy skin maintenance. In addition, smoking also reduces blood flow to the face, which further contributes to dryness and wrinkling in delicate facial skin over time.
It is also important to note that chronic facial expressions such as frowning or squinting can contribute significantly to early wrinkle formation as well. Every time our faces make certain movements of contraction such as smiling or frowning, it creates small folds in our skin called dynamic wrinkles which will eventually become static when they stand out even when we do not make expressions. It is therefore highly recommended that individuals take measures against developing premature wrinkles, such as avoiding prolonged exposure to UV light or stopping smoking altogether — but it’s equally important for them to avoid habitual facial expressions that could lead to dynamic wrinkles if done excessively over long periods of time.
