Why Our Skin Loses Its Volume with Age

Are you worried about your low-volume cheeks in your older age? You definitely need to know the reason behind it to combat it. Here is a brief summary for you to understand why and how our skin loses its volume.                           

The aging process has several factors that bring changes to our skin. Focusing on one isn’t enough. Most people focus on wrinkles only and neglect the skin’s volume loss when volume loss is the reason behind the whole process. Loss of volume results in sagging skin, with flattened cheeks and less defined facial contours.

Some substances act as fillers that keep our skin firm and smooth. With age, these substances are decreased, lost, or changed, resulting in volume loss of skin. Here are the most common reasons behind it:

Reduced essential components of skin:

Collagen and elastin are two essential proteins to keep skin firm and young, while hyaluronic acid is essential for keeping it youthful and lubricated. All of them are reduced with age.

Changes in facial fat pads:
