Loss of facial definition

Facial definition loss occurs due to progressive bone volume loss and subcutaneous adipose tissue resorption, especially in the cheekbones, jawline, and chin. This accelerates after age 30-35 due to decreased collagen and elastin production. Genetic factors, sun exposure, and lifestyle influence the speed of this volumetric reabsorption.

At Santé, we use personalized protocols combining high-volume hyaluronic acid in the cheekbones and jawline with Radiesse (calcium hydroxyapatite) to stimulate long-term collagen production. These volume-inducing treatments restore facial architecture, enhancing natural angles and improving projection without altering your features.

Results are visible immediately after the first session, though final volume stabilizes within 2-3 weeks. Radiesse continues stimulating collagen for 12-18 months. We recommend an initial session with touch-ups every 12-18 months depending on your metabolism and definition goals.

Treatment is virtually painless thanks to topical and infiltrative anesthetics. Downtime is minimal: slight redness and swelling for the first 24-48 hours. It's safe from age 25-30 when facial architecture is fully defined. There are no significant contraindications for patients without allergies to the components.
