Wrinkle Treatments for Facial Aesthetics
As we grow older, the expected ageing process may lead to a loss of subcutaneous fat in our faces. This can cause facial muscles to move closer to the skin’s surface, making smile lines and crow’s feet more visible.
Moreover, as we age, our skin’s collagen production slows down, contributing to a reduction in skin elasticity. This contributes to the development of wrinkles and loss of facial volume. Additionally, factors like sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle choices can also impact the condition of our facial skin.
Types of Facial Volume Treatments
There are a variety of types of facial volume treatments available at Coco Ruby. During a consultation, our experienced and friendly team can explain your options and discuss what may best suit your needs.
For more information before your consultation, you are welcome to get in touch with our team and ask any questions you may have.
How do facial volume treatments work?
Both volume-adding treatments and wrinkle treatments offer solutions to address the signs of ageing mentioned above. By using strategic techniques and paying high attention to detail, the treatments can add volume in precise areas, as well as reduce the prominence of fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments can help to add volume to areas that have lost subcutaneous fat, providing an altered appearance.
Additionally, wrinkle treatments can target specific facial muscles responsible for wrinkles like crow’s feet and frown lines. By temporarily relaxing these muscles, the appearance of wrinkles is minimised.
Both facial volume and wrinkle treatments also work to stimulate collagen production in the skin, which can improve skin elasticity over time.
Combining both treatment options, under the guidance of a skilled medical professional, can effectively address various signs of ageing. However, it’s essential to approach these treatments with realistic expectations and undergo them under the care of a qualified practitioner.
What can facial volume and wrinkle treatments achieve?
These personalised treatments are highly effective at reducing both deep lines and facial wrinkles, but they can also help to;
- Address lost lip volume and adjust shape
- Alter the appearance of cheekbones that may have lost definition with age.
- Minimise the appearance of “tear troughs” or crow’s feet around the eyelid area, addressing signs of ageing.
- Reduce forehead lines
- Reduce marionette lines, also known as smile lines. (facial wrinkles or creases that form around the corners of the mouth and extend down towards the chin)
These non-surgical treatments aim to address skin around not only your eyes and mouth but also your lips and forehead.
It is essential to consult with a qualified and experienced medical professional to discuss individual concerns and goals, to determine the most suitable treatment plan for achieving desired outcomes.
Who is a good candidate For our facial volume treatments
A good candidate for volume-adding and wrinkle reducing treatments typically meets certain criteria that make the treatments suitable for them. Some factors that indicate someone may be a good candidate include;
- Visible Signs of Ageing
- Candidates should have visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, lines, or loss of facial volume, that they wish to address with the treatments.
- Realistic Expectations
- It’s essential for candidates to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the treatments.
- While these treatment options can achieve noticeable alterations, they may not eliminate all signs of ageing.
- Good General Health
- No significant medical conditions that could pose risks or affect the healing process.
- Non-Smoker
- The preference is that patients be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking.
- Smoking can negatively impact the skin’s health and the results of the treatments.
- No Allergies
- Candidates should not have allergies to any of the ingredients in the treatments.
- Adequate Skin Thickness
- The candidate’s skin should have adequate thickness and elasticity to respond well to the treatments.
- Understanding the Risks
- Candidates should be fully aware of the potential risks and side effects associated with the treatments.
The recommended way to determine if someone is a suitable candidate for these treatment options is to undergo a consultation with a qualified medical professional. During the consultation, the practitioner will assess the candidate’s facial anatomy, medical history, and aesthetic goals to recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
Remember, individual suitability for these treatments varies, and seeking advice from a skilled and experienced medical professional is crucial to ensuring effective and satisfactory results.

The Procedure
The procedure process for facial volume and wrinkle treatments involves the following steps:
Consultation
The process begins with a consultation with a qualified medical professional. During this session, the practitioner evaluates the patient’s facial anatomy, discusses their aesthetic goals, and recommends the most suitable treatment plan.
On the day of the procedure, the treatment area is cleansed and, if required, a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise any discomfort.
Facial Volume Treatments
For facial volume treatments, the practitioner carefully places the treatment into the predetermined treatment areas, targeting wrinkles, fine lines, or areas with volume loss.
Wrinkle Reducing treatments
For wrinkle treatments, the practitioner will carefully focus on the specific facial muscles responsible for causing wrinkles. This temporarily relaxes the muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
Post-Treatment Care
After the treatments, patients may be advised to avoid touching the treated area and refrain from intense physical activities for a short period. Any specific post-treatment instructions will be provided by the practitioner.
The entire process is relatively short, allowing patients to resume their normal daily activities with minimal downtime. It’s essential to seek treatment from a qualified medical professional experienced in performing these treatments to ensure effective and successful outcomes.
How long do the results of Facial volume and wrinkle treatments last?
The results of facial volume and wrinkle treatments are typically visible shortly after the procedure. Depending on the product, the results may last several months before a patient will need to undergo additional/top up treatments to maintain the effects.

Recovery
Recovery and downtime after facial volume and wrinkle treatments are generally minimal. Some patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising around the treatment areas, which typically subsides within a few days. Most individuals can resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, it’s advised to avoid intense physical activities and avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for the first 24 hours. The short recovery period makes these treatments convenient for those with busy lifestyles.
Risks and Complications
Risks and potential complications associated with facial volume and wrinkle treatments can include:
- Bruising
- Swelling
- Redness
- Allergic Reactions
- Infection
- Asymmetry
- Nerve Damage
- Lumps or Bumps
- The formation of small lumps or bumps under the skin may occur, which may need to be addressed by the practitioner.
- Migration
- The treatment product may move from the intended site, causing undesirable results, which may need to be dissolved
- Overcorrection or Undercorrection
- Overcorrection (an overly dramatic result)
- Under correction (insufficient improvement)
- Skin Discoloration
- Vascular Complications
- There is a small risk of accidental interruption to blood vessels, which may lead to complications.
- Pre-existing Conditions
- Certain medical conditions or medications can increase the risk of complications, so it’s essential to disclose your medical history during the consultation.
It’s crucial to undergo facial volume and wrinkle treatments with a qualified and experienced medical professional to minimise these risks and help ensure effective and satisfactory results. Patients should be well-informed about the potential complications and make an informed decision about the treatments.
Cost of Facial volume and wrinkle treatments
The cost of facial volume and wrinkle treatments varies depending on several factors, including the type and amount of product used, the number of treatment areas, and the experience level of the medical professional.
