Overview

Causes for Volume Loss

When we are young, our faces are full, smooth, and tight. As we age, we begin to lose collagen and elastin making our skin less healthy, thinner, and looser.

Causes of volume loss include:

  • Aging
  • Weight loss
  • Bone loss
  • UV rays
  • Being too skinny
  • Smoking

Symptoms of Volume Loss

You may notice the following symptoms:

  • Flatter cheeks
  • Hollowness under eyes
  • Eye bags
  • Hollowness in the temple
  • Deeper folds around your mouth including smile lines and marionette lines
  • Jowling

Treatment options for volume loss

Instant Results

Dermal filler at U Med Spa in Plano

Dermal Filler

Dermal filler is an FDA-approved cosmetic injectable treatment that instantly restores facial volume and softens wrinkles in areas that have deflated with age.

Treatment typically takes 1-2 hours including a full face assessment and consultation. Results are immediate and last up to 12 months.

Gradual Results with Tighter Skin

Sculptra at U Med Spa in Plano

Sculptra

Sculptra is an FDA-approved biostimulator. Known as the “401k for your skin”, Sculptra is injected into your fat pads to boost collagen and elastin. Sculptra restores facial volume, strengthens your skin, and makes your skin tighter.

Results take a couple of months to show as it takes time to build collagen and elastin gradually.

Treatment typically requires multiple sessions initially, spaced out by 4-6 weeks.

100% Natural Option

PRF EZ Gel at UMed Spa in Plano

PRF EZ Gel

PRF EZ Gel is a natural and regenerative bio-stimulating filler made with growth factors from your own blood. Unlike Sculptra, which is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), PRF EZ Gel is 100% made of growth factors from your own blood.

It is a great option for those who want a 100% natural injectable treatment but the results are less consistent because they depend on the health and quality of your blood which can be impacted by a lot of factors.

Treatment typically requires multiple sessions initially, spaced out by 4-6 weeks.

FAQs

Q

How do I know if I need to restore volume or tighten skin?

A

Volume loss often looks like “hollowing” in the temples or under the eyes, or “flattening” of the cheeks. When we lose this structural support, the skin begins to drape, leading to jowls or deeper folds around the mouth. If your face looks “tired” or “sunken” even when you are well-rested, you likely need a volume-based solution like Filler, Sculptra, or EZ Gel to restore that youthful foundation

Skin laxity looks like “crepey skin” along the sides of your cheeks or your neck. For skin laxity, we recommend treatments like Sofwave to boost collagen and elastin deep underneath the skin to tighten and lift

Q

How do I choose between dermal filler and Sculptra for volume loss?

A

The choice depends on your timeline and goals:

  • Dermal Fillers: Best for those who want an instant transformation. It is perfect for “sculpting” specific features like the chin or jawline
  • Sculptra: Best for those who want a gradual change. It doesn’t just fill; it builds a collagen foundation that tightens the skin over time. People choose Sculptra when they want a “refreshed” look without anyone knowing they had a procedure

Q

What makes PRF Ez Gel the most "natural" option?

A

PRF EZ Gel is 100% autologous, meaning it is made entirely from your own blood with no synthetic chemicals or additives. We concentrate your body’s own growth factors and albumin into a cooling/heating process to create a gel. It is the gold standard for patients who want to avoid synthetic ingredients or those looking to treat delicate areas like the under-eyes without the risk of the “puffy” look sometimes associated with traditional fillers

Q

Can I combine Sculptra with Dermal Fillers?

A

Yes, and this is a very common approach! We call this “global facial rejuvenation.” We might use Dermal Filler for immediate lift in the cheeks or lips, while using Sculptra to treat the surrounding areas for long-term collagen production and skin thickening. This combination provides both the “instant gratification” and the “long-term investment”

Q

Which treatment option lasts the longest?

A

Results vary by individual. Sculptra is typically the winner for longevity, with results often lasting up to two years. Traditional Dermal Fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months depending on the product used and the area treated. Results from PRF EZ Gel can last for up to 18 months but they typically vary in efficacy depending on the quality of the patient’s blood

Q

What is the downtime associated with these treatments?

A

Downtime is minimal for these injectable treatments. With Fillers and PRF EZ Gel, you may experience minor swelling or bruising at the injection site for a few days. With Sculptra, the initial volume from the sterile water used for injection will dissipate within 24–48 hours, and you’ll follow the “5-5-5” massage rule for five days to ensure even results. Most patients return to their normal social activities the next day
