Volume Loss
More than a conversation, a skin health assessment.
Volume loss refers to the depletion of facial fullness and structural support, which can result in sagging skin, hollowed areas, and a change in facial contours over time. This is a natural process, primarily caused by decreased collagen and fat production as we age.
At Burnside Cosmetic, a consultation for volume loss is a full skin health assessment, not just a chat about treatment options. We take the time to understand your skin, your history and your goals before discussing what may be appropriate. We offer a variety of medical aesthetic treatments that can be used to help address the appearance of volume loss, and we encourage you to book a consultation with Dr Chris Koulos or Nurse Claire Koulos to discuss your concerns.
Understanding your face is the foundation of everything we do.

Before any consultation at Burnside Cosmetic, we take the time to understand facial anatomy properly. The structures beneath the surface, how they change over time, and how they vary from person to person, because no two faces are the same and no two treatment plans should be either.

This is what it means to be a doctor-led clinic. The knowledge comes first.
