Sunken Features & Volume Loss
Causes
A loss of facial volume results in sunken features making your skin lose its supple and youthful condition. The condition is often caused by rapid weight loss, smoking, prolonged sun exposure, severe illness– this is due to the loss of blood vessels, fat layers and collagen and elastin production. A loss of facial volume results in sagging skin, a flattening of the cheeks and the appearance of a “turkey neck” or sagging skin around the jawline and neck areas.

PRP Therapy
- Targets: Ageing skin, dull skin, sagging skin, acne scars, pigmentation, wrinkles

Your blood is drawn — typically from your arm — and placed into a centrifuge (a machine that spins rapidly to separate fluids of different densities). The separated Platelet Rich Plasma is drawn up into a syringe and then injected into areas of the face or neck using a syringe or microneedling. If you would like immediate results, we recommend combining it with a filler.

With its innovative technology, Silhouette Soft enables us to re-tighten sagging skin on facial and neck tissues, for immediate, refreshed and natural looking results.

Silhouette Soft offers a unique dual action, by repositioning the sagged tissue and by stimulating the collagen production, for continued improvement over time.
