Loss of volume

Volume loss is a natural consequence of aging. Over time, collagen and elastin production decreases, and subcutaneous adipose tissue is reabsorbed. Factors like genetics, sun exposure, stress, and hormonal changes accelerate this process. The result is a more hollow appearance, especially in the cheekbones, lips, and nasolabial folds.

At Santé, we use next-generation hyaluronic acid to restore lip and facial volume naturally. For longer-lasting results, we apply Sculptra (polylactic acid), a collagen-inducing agent that stimulates your skin's own production over months. We combine both according to your specific needs for a harmonious, personalized effect.

With hyaluronic acid, results are immediate. With Sculptra, we recommend 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart to optimize collagen stimulation; progressive changes appear 4–8 weeks after the first session. Effects last 18–24 months depending on the protocol and your metabolism.

Both treatments are minimally invasive with topical anesthesia. Mild redness and swelling may occur for the first 24–48 hours. No significant downtime: resume normal activities immediately. Avoid intense exercise for 48 hours. Hyaluronic acid is reversible if desired. Consult Santé to assess your case and personalized budget.
