Dr Motox’s Guide to Restoring Facial Volume After Weight Loss

For many, losing weight can be a significant accomplishment and lead to a healthier and more fulfilling life. However, rapid or significant weight loss can lead to loss of facial volume, leaving the face looking hollow, aged, less defined and more contoured than before. Many people wonder how to plump the face after weight loss and how to restore skin elasticity after weight loss.

Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem; dermal fillers, polynucleotides, and skin boosters are amazing advanced treatments to help you regain more facial volume and youthful glow.

Dermal Fillers for Facial Volume Restoration

Dermal fillers are non-surgical injectables that restore volume, sculpt the face, smooth wrinkles, and rejuvenate the appearance of the face. They are formulated with an injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gel that occurs naturally within the body. By replenishing lost volume, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, and enhancing facial features, dermal fillers can help clients achieve the youthful, radiant look they desire. This treatment can be done in various areas of concern, including the cheeks, lips, and under-eye areas, to fill hollow eyes, sagging jowls and fine lines caused by significant weight loss and help to enhance a client’s natural features. 

REVOLAX is a bespoke dermal filler brand with three specialised fillers. You can find out more about REVOLAX at Fox Pharma. REVOLAX fillers offer a range of solutions tailored to different areas of the face, such as REVOLAX Deep, REVOLAX Sub-Q, or REVOLAX Fine, allowing for flawless results.

Polynucleotides for Facial Volume Restoration

Polynucleotides are minimally invasive, non-surgical injectables made from purified fish DNA that regenerate, repair, and strengthen the skin for a brighter, healthier-looking complexion. Working as bio-stimulators, polynucleotides act on a cellular level to stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping restore firmness and elasticity that can be lost after weight loss. Polynucleotide treatments can be administered in the cheeks, under-eyes area, jawline, and décolletage to provide your clients with a youthful appearance. By hydrating the skin and stimulating cellular repair, they can plump and improve the texture of hollow under eyes and fine lines caused by weight loss, and their skin-firming properties can also tighten and smooth out sagging skin.

VITARAN, exclusive to Fox Pharma, is a leading brand of polynucleotides. Derived from highly purified salmon trout DNA, it offers clients incredible facial rejuvenation and volume restoration. Browse VITARAN I and VITARAN II and unlock transformative results for your clients.

Skin Boosters for Facial Volume Restoration

Skin boosters are minimally invasive, non-surgical injections designed to hydrate, plump, and revitalise the skin from within. By infiltrating hyaluronic acid (HA) into the skin, they deeply nourish and repair the skin barrier for a smooth, soft and healthy complexion. Skin boosters are perfect for areas like the cheeks, neck, and décolletage, providing subtle yet impactful results that enhance radiance and offer a subtle pumping effect.

Seventy Hyal 2000 is a groundbreaking skin booster exclusive to Fox Pharma that delivers intense hydration to the skin, promoting tissue regeneration. Developed with one of the highest molecular weights of hyaluronic acid (HA) formulations on the market (>2000kDa), Seventy Hyal 2000 sets itself apart from other skin boosters for its incredible results. 

Combining Dermal Fillers, Polynucleotides, and Skin Boosters

Dermal fillers, polynucleotides, and skin boosters are incredible treatments for enhancing the skin and restoring volume to the face after weight loss. They can even be combined to offer a mix of skin regeneration, facial rejuvenation, and volume restoration for truly flawless results. These treatments can complement each other by targeting different aspects of skin health and structure.

• Dermal fillers are great for restoring volume and sculpting and lifting the face.
• Skin boosters are great for intense hydration and skin rejuvenation.
• Polynucleotides are great for overall skin repair for a smoother, more even and more healthy complexion.

Combining these treatments can achieve optimal, long-lasting results for clients looking to restore facial volume after weight loss or combat signs of ageing. For more information, read our guide on combining aesthetic treatments.

Restoring Facial Volume After Weight Loss With Dr Motox

• Step 1: Consultation With a Qualified Practitioner

Your journey will begin with a scheduled consultation with one of our highly experienced and qualified practitioners. During this consultation, your facial features will be assessed, your goals will be discussed, and you will be recommended the best type of filler and technique for your needs. Choosing an experienced and qualified practitioner is crucial to ensure safety and efficacy during the procedure. At Dr Motox clinics, all our practitioners are qualified doctors with extensive injecting experience.

• Step 2: Treatment Planning

After the consultation, the practitioner will develop a bespoke treatment plan that addresses your concerns and achieves your goals. The plan may involve using different types of fillers to target various areas of the face, such as the cheeks, under-eye areas, and lips. At Dr Motox clinics, we use Everyone’s Favourite Dermal Filler, REVOLAX, for the majority of treatment areas. We use all three types of REVOLAX, Deep, Sub-Q, or Fine, depending on the area being injected. The practitioner will also discuss the amount of filler needed, the cost of the procedure, and any possible risks or complications.

• Step 3: Pre-treatment Preparation

Before the procedure, the practitioner may advise to avoid certain medications and supplements that can increase the risk of bruising or bleeding after the treatment. They may also recommend applying ice to the treatment area before and after the procedure to minimise swelling and discomfort. Numbing cream, such as Emla, can also be used in certain areas for minimal discomfort.

• Step 4: The Treatment

During the treatment, the practitioner will inject the filler into the targeted areas of the face using free hand injections, and specialised injection techniques such as linear threads, or use a cannula. Using a cannula allows for a safer treatment, as this method avoids blood vessels when injected and reduces the risk of bruising, bleeding and vascular occlusions. The procedure typically takes between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the treatment.

• Step 5: Aftercare

After the procedure, the practitioner will provide aftercare instructions to ensure you achieve the best results. You may be advised to avoid strenuous activities, sun exposure, and certain skincare products for a few days after the procedure. You should also avoid touching or rubbing the treated area and follow any other instructions provided by the practitioner.

Summary

Restoring facial volume after weight loss with non-surgical treatments is an effective and safe way to rejuvenate the face and achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. To achieve the best results, it is essential to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner and follow their advice and instructions.
