As skin matures or experiences rapid change—whether age, weight loss, or GLP-1 medications, contours can shift, and firmness may start to fade. If you’ve noticed sagging skin, deepening folds, or a loss of bounce in your reflection, you're not alone. These signs often point to more than just volume loss—they’re part of a broader shift in your skin’s structural integrity.
That’s where VOL.U.LIFT comes in: a clinically informed, physician-developed solution that goes beyond the surface to support visible firmness, hydration, and the overall feel of elasticity over time.
What Is Skin Elasticity?
Skin elasticity refers to your skin’s ability to stretch and snap back—think of it like your skin’s internal spring. It’s largely driven by collagen and elastin, two structural proteins in the dermis. When skin is elastic, it appears firm, smooth, and resilient. But when elasticity declines, skin starts to sag, wrinkle, or lose its youthful “bounce.”
Maintaining skin elasticity is crucial for supporting a lifted appearance, not just in the face, but all over the body.
Why Skin Elasticity Declines Over Time
- Several internal and external factors affect how your skin holds up over time:
- Natural aging: As early as your 30s, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production begins to slow down.
- Environmental stressors: UV exposure, pollution, and even chronic dehydration can accelerate the breakdown of structural proteins.
- Lifestyle triggers: Poor sleep, high stress levels, and nutrient-deficient diets can all impact skin’s ability to regenerate.
- GLP-1 use or rapid weight loss: While beneficial for health goals, these shifts may cause skin volume to deflate faster than it can rebound, leading to sagging and textural changes.
What’s the Difference Between Volume Loss and Loss of Elasticity?
Volume loss refers to the visible deflation caused by reduced fat or fullness under the skin. It often results in hollowing in areas like the cheeks or under-eyes.
Loss of elasticity, on the other hand, affects how well the skin snaps back into place. It’s what makes skin feel loose, crepey, or thin.
VOL.U.LIFT addresses both—it visibly supports the appearance of skin volume while nourishing it with ingredients that promote long-term elasticity and hydration.
What Makes VOL.U.LIFT Different from Standard Firming Creams?
Unlike traditional firming creams, VOL.U.LIFT is:
- Clinically proven and plastic surgeon-developed
- Powered by a 4D Skin Rebound Complex to visibly improve the look of deflation, deep wrinkles, dehydration, and loss of density
- Formulated with patent-pending XOSM™ Technology, a proprietary smart delivery system that enhances penetration of antioxidants like vitamin C and astaxanthin-rich micro-algae
- Gentle yet performance-driven, designed for daily use and ideal for pairing with professional treatments
Key Ingredients That Support Elasticity and Firmness In VOL.U.LIFT:
- Ectoin – Defends against oxidative stress
- Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) – Brightens and boosts visible firmness
- Astaxanthin-rich Micro-Algae – One of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature
- Hydrating Peptide Blend – Helps skin feel smoother and appear more plump
Other ingredient pairings to consider:
- Hyaluronic Acid – Deep hydration enhances bounce and suppleness
- Peptides – Reinforce collagen for improved skin tone over time
VOL.U.LIFT Clinical Results
During a 12-week clinical study of 29 participants ages 35–65, with twice daily application of VOL.U.LIFT, researched showed:
- 20.1% increase in facial volume*
- 22.5% increase in firmness*
- 23.2% increase in net elasticity*
- 20.7% decrease in wrinkles*
- 21.8% increase in hydration*
With continued use of VOL.U.LIFT (think: 8 weeks to 1 year), users can expect:
- A visibly lifted appearance in facial contours
- Reduced appearance of sagging or crepey skin
- Skin that feels more hydrated, dense, and resilient
- Support for long-term skin firmness with or without in-office treatments
When to Start Supporting Skin Elasticity
It’s never too early—or too late—to start. You might consider incorporating a firming solution like VOL.U.LIFT if:
- You’ve recently experienced weight loss
- You’re beginning GLP-1 therapy
- You’re in your 30s or beyond, and noticing the first signs of sagging
- You want a complement to in-office treatments, like filler, laser, or skin tightening
How to Incorporate VOL.U.LIFT Into Your Routine
Here’s a simple morning routine:
- Cleanse with your preferred IMAGE Skincare cleanser of choice.
- Apply VOL.U.LIFT to clean, dry skin.
- Seal in hydration with your preferred IMAGE Skincare moisturizer.
