What is VOLUMA?

VOLUMA injectable facial filler is the first and only filler FDA-approved to instantly add volume to the cheek area.   VOLUMA is the next generation of fillers It has been in the market since 2005 in Europe and like it’s sister product Juvéderm, Voluma is made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a sugar that occurs in our body naturally. VOLUMA is an axcellent product to lift and add volume to the cheeks, jowls and temples.  It gives you a subtle and natural looking lift, helping to restore contour and a more youthful profile, for up to 2 years!

What Is the Difference between VOLUMA and other Facial Fillers?

What sets Voluma apart from other fillers is the cutting-edge Vycross technology that gives it a uniquely thick and robust consistency, making it ideal to treat age-related volume loss.  The Vycross technology  refers to the way the HA molecules are bonded together to provide longer duration and strength.

What features make the “Ideal Youthful Face”?   Volume.  As the face ages, our cheeks flatten as volume disappears and your profile “goes South”. Facial experts now focus on rebalancing this volume change.

So to restore your youth it is important to re-volumize your mid-face with VOLUMA and restore your  prominent, high, and fully contoured cheeks.

How long does VOLUMA last?

Individual results may vary, but with optimal correction, Voluma can last up to 18 months to two years. In clinical studies, 67% of patients retained a clinically significant response to Voluma at 2 years, and 76% of patients reported increased satisfaction with their appearance.  Since Voluma is a very long-lasting filler you typically would not need to be treated again for a long time.  However re-injection may be needed a few weeks after your initial injection if you need more volume or more lift to complete your desired look.  Often it is better to be conservative and touch-up if needed.

Why should I use VOLUMA for volumizing instead of other Juvéderm products?

Although other Juvéderm products such as Ultra Plus can offer robust contouring in areas such as the nasal folds, Voluma is specially designed for true volumizing and lifting in areas as the cheeks, cheekbones, and chin.

 

How long before I see results?

It gives you an immediate, subtle lift, helping to restore contour and a more youthful profile.  With instant, visible improvement to flat and sunken cheeks as the smooth gel gently lifts the cheeks and jawline you can experience long-lasting volume for correction of age-related, midface and lower face volume loss.

 

Is VOLUMA the same thing as BOTOX?

No, Botox Cosmetic uses Botulin toxin to relax muscles and stop movement therefore we mainly use is for forehead and between the brows (glabellar) but does not replace volume.  Voluma is a dermal fillers meant to replace volume loss in facial areas such as cheeks, nasal folds and jawline.

 

Can people with different skin tones be treated with VOLUMA?

Yes, Voluma is excellent for all skin types.  People with darker skin of color usually do not wrinkle as much as lighter skin tones, but everyone experiences age-related volume loss in their cheeks.  Voluma which often works well for anyone that is experience sagging of the apex of the cheek with aging and this may appear at a relatively young age.

 

Does a VOLUMA treatment hurt?

There is typically minimal discomfort during the treatment process.  Voluma contains lidocaine (anesthetic) which numbs the skin. Drs. Wright have performed thousands of injectable treatments and they utilize their skilled techniques to make you as comfortable as possible. As well, at Skin MD and Beyond we will provide an anesthetic cream to the treatment area prior to the doctor performing the injections.  Our patients tolerate the procedure very well.
