Reaching your desired weight is a victory regardless of your age. Treatment of obesity and recovery is a wonderful and ambitious goal. However, when weight drops rapidly – for example, thanks to modern pharmacological therapies – the skin on the face does not always keep pace with the body. In the case of mature skin undergoing reduction therapy this disproportion is often more noticeable. Do you want your face to fully reflect your vitality?
Our Medical team understands that sunken face and age this is a relationship that should be examined from the perspective of biological ageing tissues. Therefore, read on and find out, Why older people experience the effects of facial sagging more quickly when taking weight loss drugs.
Why do older people more often have sunken faces?
Why do older people more often have sunken faces? Phenomenon volume loss in older people is intensified due to the accumulation of natural processes biological ageing and violent fat reduction. In older people, the facial structure is already weakened by years of natural ageing processes.
Two main biological factors cause sunken face and age there is such a clear correlation:
- Lower skin density – naturally occurs with age collagen decline and elastin. As a result, the skin has lower density and is less resilient, and the fibres are thinner.
- Fat loss – with age, the fat on the face (which has a supporting function) begins to disappear or move downwards.
When these natural deficits are compounded by rapid weight reduction, The effect of sagging, drooping tissue and the feeling of tiredness are visible almost immediately.
Age differences in tissue loss – higher risk of lipoatrophy in seniors
Does age increase the visibility of the effects? Definitely yes. There are clear age differences in tissue loss. Young skin, even after significant weight loss, still has a greater capacity for regeneration and contraction. However, mature skin undergoing reduction therapy already has lower collagen reserves, which makes it more prone to skin sagging.
The risk that ageing with weight reduction becomes visible, is significantly higher. The phenomenon of facial collapse itself is in fact higher risk of lipoatrophy in seniors (fat loss), which accumulates with naturally occurring lower skin density.
What factors exacerbate volume loss?
What factors exacerbate volume loss? At biological ageing i volume loss in older people many factors influence this.
These are:
- Decrease in collagen – natural collagen decline and elastin progresses after the age of 30 and is inevitable.
- Rapid weight loss – the faster the weight loss, the less chance the skin has to adapt.
- Insufficient recovery – lack of implementation aesthetic prevention, whose task is tissue regeneration.
Compensatory measures – aesthetic support plan
Both loss of facial volume, as well as the problem higher risk of lipoatrophy in seniors require personalised treatment plan. To this end, we utilise advanced technologies such as 4D endolifting, which initiates deep remodelling process skins.
Endolifting 4D is a non-invasive laser protocol utilising the platform. Fotona DYNAMIS SP. The purpose of this procedure is to:
- Restoring density – use of a laser Er:Yag for fractional revitalisation and support of new collagen production.
- Voltage support – laser operation Nd:Yag for deep heating and fibre shrinkage collagen and elastin in order to reduce skin laxity.
The therapy is supported by clinical trials and certificates, and its aim is to restoring a more youthful appearance to the face without the need for recovery.
