I have an American Standard Hampton faucet that over time the flow has been more and more restricted.
Most sinks have shutoff valves under them. I've found many times those
valves get clogged with crud from the pipes.
Shut off those valves. Take the end of the supply tube off the sink
faucet, and (if it's flexible), put it in a small pail and turn on the
valve. there should be good pressure. If not, shut off the water main,
and remove the shutoff valves, and clean them out, or replace them. The
supply pipes can get clogged too. Check them also.
