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?
During the consultation, our qualified medical practitioners will explain a step by step process and introduce you to a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual situation.
What can facial volume and wrinkle treatments achieve?
These personalised treatments may be 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.
During the consultation, our qualified medical practitioners will explain a step by step process and introduce you to a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual situation.
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.

- 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.
