Feeling Like Your Face Looks ‘Tired’ or ‘Deflated’? Here’s What’s Happening

As we age, it’s not just fine lines and pigmentation that change. One of the most noticeable — and frustrating — shifts is volume loss in the mid and lower face. Cheeks flatten, nasolabial folds deepen, and the jawline softens.

At Platinum Cosmetics, we focus on natural, non-surgical approaches to restoring firmness and contour — without the frozen or overfilled look.

Why Facial Volume Loss Happens

As time passes, your skin and deeper structures lose:

  • Collagen and elastin — the fibres that give skin bounce

  • Fat pads — especially in the cheeks and temples

  • Bone density — the framework that supports your features

Combined with gravity and muscle activity, this can lead to sagging, hollowness, and a general “drawn” appearance.

Non-Surgical Treatments That Help Restore Structure

At our Port Melbourne clinic, we offer several treatments to help lift, tighten, and support volume from within:

  • Fotona 4D: A multi-step laser protocol that treats skin from the inside out. Includes intraoral tightening, skin resurfacing, and collagen stimulation — ideal for softening nasolabial folds and improving contour without injectables.

  • Fotona TightSculpting: Excellent for firming under the chin and jawline, especially when paired with skin texture treatments.

  • Skin rejuvenation: Supports overall tone, texture, and elasticity for skin that looks fresher and more resilient.

No needles, no downtime — just gradual, progressive improvement.

Supportive Skin Care Makes a Difference

We’ll recommend skin care that helps:

  • Stimulate collagen (e.g. peptides, retinoids)

  • Protect from environmental damage (antioxidants like vitamin C)

  • Hydrate and plump (hyaluronic acid, ceramides)

  • Prevent further laxity (daily SPF is essential)

We don’t believe in overcomplicating your routine — just choosing what works.
