As we age, our faces naturally begin to show signs of the times we’ve lived — laughter, sorrow, and the sheer passage of years all leave their marks. One of the most common signs of aging is lax facial skin, which can diminish one’s youthful appearance and vibrancy. At Craft Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Miami, we understand that maintaining a fresh, rejuvenated look is important to many of our patients. This blog explores the causes of lax facial skin and highlights effective volume-boosting treatments such as Radiesse, JUVÉDERM, and Restylane.

Understanding Lax Facial Skin

Laxity in facial skin primarily results from the gradual loss of collagen and elastin, proteins that provide skin with strength and elasticity. As these proteins diminish, the skin no longer snaps back as it once did, leading to sagging and wrinkles. Additionally, facial volume loss due to decreased fat can make this sagging more noticeable. Environmental factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and stress can accelerate these natural aging processes, making preventative and responsive skincare crucial.

Treatment Options to Boost Facial Volume

At Craft Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of treatments to combat facial volume loss and skin laxity, ensuring that each patient receives personalized care suited to their unique needs.

1. Radiesse

• What it is: Radiesse is a dermal filler that not only provides immediate volume but also helps stimulate natural collagen production over time. It is composed of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel.
• Benefits: This filler is particularly effective for deeper lines and areas of the face requiring significant volumization, such as the cheeks and jawline. The additional collagen production makes it a dual-action choice, offering both immediate and lasting results.

2. Juvéderm

• What it is: Juvéderm is a family of hyaluronic acid-based fillers that are highly effective for adding volume to different areas of the face, including the lips, cheeks, and around the mouth. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin that helps keep the skin soft and plump.
• Benefits: Its smooth consistency gel allows for easy injection and natural-looking results. Juvéderm fillers are versatile, catering to various needs, from plumping up thinning lips to softening facial wrinkles and folds.

3. Restylane

• What it is: Similar to Juvéderm, Restylane is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that is designed to mimic the body’s own natural hyaluronic acid, providing volume where it’s needed.
• Benefits: It is particularly effective for enhancing the lips and filling in the tear trough — the delicate area under the eye. Restylane can also be used for targeting fine lines around the mouth, making it an excellent option for detailed facial contouring.
