Clinical Assessment and Personalised Pathways
At Bond Street, we understand that ageing is a natural process and approach age management by focusing on supporting your natural features through evidence-informed aesthetic medicine.
All treatment begins with a mandatory consultation to explore targeted, minimally invasive options for managing age-related changes in the skin, such as volume loss. Our aim is to offer personalised treatment pathways that address your clinical concerns and align with your goals.
During this in-depth assessment, our registered health practitioner, Nurse Gordy, will conduct a comprehensive clinical assessment and discuss support for areas such as the cheeks, jawline, temples, lips, mouth, and chin. Our focus is holistic and medically guided, ensuring your treatment plan can evolve over time.

Watch the videoStep 1: Consultation
As we age, the skin undergoes natural changes, including a reduction in collagen, elastin, and subcutaneous fat, which leads to volume loss and affects structural integrity.
The treatment journey begins with a mandatory, detailed consultation with our registered health practitioner, Nurse Gordy. During this visit, Nurse Gordy will conduct a comprehensive clinical assessment of your facial structure, dermal health, and overall well-being. This allows for the development of an evidence-informed, personalised plan to manage volume changes and structural concerns. All potential risks, expected outcomes, and procedural costs are thoroughly discussed, and a mandatory period of reflection is advised prior to scheduling the treatment.
Step 3: Procedure
The treatment involves the professional and precise application of regulated products, such as dermal fillers, to targeted areas to manage volume changes and structural concerns. The procedure typically lasts 15–30 minutes and is performed by your registered health practitioner, aiming for minimal discomfort.
Step 3: Aftercare
Proper post-treatment care is essential for supporting your outcomes and recovery. Nurse Gordy will provide you with specific aftercare instructions. Adhering to our aftercare recommendations, such as refraining from strenuous exercise, remaining upright, and protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure, will aid in optimal recovery. Regular follow-ups are recommended to assess the results and discuss the long-term management of age-related concerns.
Please Note: As with any medical procedure, results are not guaranteed, and potential risks will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation.

FAQs
What Areas of Volume Loss Can Be Treated?
Aesthetic medicine can help address common signs of ageing related to volume loss. Treatments can target areas such as the chin, forehead, under the eyes, cheeks, jawline, lips, and temples. This can help soften lines and folds, including marionette lines (between the lips and chin) and nasolabial folds (between the nose and lips), while supporting natural facial contours. Techniques may also enhance the brow area, define the jawline, restore lip volume, and reduce the appearance of hollows or tiredness around the eyes.
What Is Volume Loss Treatment Like?
During your consultation, Nurse Gordy will discuss your concerns, assess your facial structure and natural expressions, and recommend the most suitable approach for managing volume loss. Treatments are designed to subtly support your facial contours. After the procedure, mild swelling or bruising may occur, usually resolving within a few days. Results can vary depending on the treatment area, product used, and individual factors, providing a refreshed and naturally balanced appearance.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Nurse Gordy will explain potential side effects relevant to your treatment. Generally, aesthetic medicine is a safe approach for addressing volume loss when performed by a trained professional. Rare side effects, such as infection or allergic reactions, may occur. Working with an experienced practitioner helps minimise risks and ensures more balanced results.
Is There Anything I Should Avoid Before Treatment?
In the week prior to your appointment, avoid ibuprofen, aspirin, vitamin E, and fish oil supplements, as these may increase bruising or bleeding. Paracetamol can be taken if needed.
Is It Safe to Receive Treatment While Breastfeeding?
It is important to inform Nurse Gordy if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, so any potential considerations can be discussed.
Can Men Have Volume Loss Treatment?
Yes. Men experience age-related volume loss in areas such as under-eye hollows, cheeks, and jawline. A tailored approach can help restore subtle volume, soften lines, and enhance facial definition while maintaining a natural, refreshed appearance. Treatments can also address the lower cheeks, nasolabial folds, and chin to support overall facial harmony.
