One of the most critical techniques for treating volume loss in thin faces is to focus on the deeper layers of the skin. Injecting fillers too close to the surface can create a lumpy or unnatural appearance, particularly in thin-skinned areas around the eyes.
Instead, it is recommended to inject fillers deeper into the tissue, where they can support the underlying structures of the face and create a more natural-looking result. This technique is often referred to as "structural volumizing” or “Y shape”.
Another important technique for treating volume loss in thin faces is using a cannula instead of a needle. A cannula is a small, flexible tube that can inject fillers into the face with greater precision and control than a needle. This can reduce the risk of bruising and other side effects, particularly in thin-skinned areas.
Types of Fillers for Volume Loss in Thin Faces
There are several types of fillers that can be used to treat volume loss in thin faces, each with its own unique characteristics and advantages.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are one of the most commonly used types of fillers for thin faces. They are made from a natural substance that is found in the body, making them safe and effective for use in cosmetic treatments. Hyaluronic acid fillers can also be easily dissolved if necessary, making them a flexible option for patients who may want to adjust their results over time.
Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers (Radiesse) are another popular option for treating volume loss in thin faces. These fillers are made from a substance found in bones, making them safe and biocompatible for patients. They also stimulate the body's natural collagen production, which can help maintain the treatment's results over time.
Poly-L-lactic acid fillers (Sculptra) are a longer-lasting option for treating volume loss in thin faces. These fillers are made from a synthetic substance that stimulates the body's natural collagen production, helping to restore volume and improve skin texture over time. However, they require multiple treatments over several months to achieve optimal results.
