Juvéderm Voluma

Nationally Ranked Experienced Master Level Injector

Understanding Juvéderm Voluma

Juvéderm Voluma, a flagship product of the acclaimed Juvéderm family of fillers, is specifically designed to rejuvenate and enhance the mid-face region. Recognized as a premium dermal filler, Voluma and its formulation are rich in hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our skin responsible for retaining moisture and promoting softness.

While many dermal fillers focus on filling in wrinkles or fine lines, Voluma is distinct in its primary goal: to restore and augment cheek volume. As we age, it’s not uncommon for our cheeks to lose their natural plumpness, causing the skin to sag and the face to appear more hollowed. Voluma addresses this concern by providing a subtle lift, restoring a more youthful contour and profile.

Additionally, Voluma boasts an impressive duration of effect, with results that can last up to two years, with optimal treatment. This extended benefit period is attributed to its advanced VYCROSS® technology, a unique cross-linking of hyaluronic acid chains, ensuring both durability and a natural feel to the touch.

For those seeking a non-surgical approach to revitalize their facial appearance, specifically in the cheek and mid-face area, Juvéderm Voluma has developed a long reputation as a trusted and effective solution. Whether the aim is to reverse age-related volume loss or enhance natural cheekbones, Voluma’s proven results have made it a favored choice among practitioners and patients.

The Voluma Procedure: What to Expect

Understanding the procedure and knowing what to anticipate can alleviate concerns and ensure a more confident approach to the treatment. Here’s a step-by-step insight into the Voluma procedure and what follows.

Consultation

Every treatment begins with an in-depth consultation. This is the stage where our Master-Level Trained Injectors assess your facial anatomy, understand your aesthetic goals, and determine the appropriateness of Voluma for your specific needs. A detailed medical history is taken to rule out any contraindications.

Consultation

Before the treatment, the target area is cleaned and disinfected.  Some clinics might apply a topical numbing agent to ensure maximum comfort during the procedure, although Voluma already contains local anesthetic lidocaine to help minimize discomfort.

Injection

Our Top-Ranked Master-Level Injectors will carefully inject Voluma into the predetermined areas, sculpting as they go. The depth and amount of the product are meticulously adjusted to achieve the desired lift and contour. The entire injection process usually lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area’s size and the volume of filler required.

Post-Procedure Care

After the injections, the area might be massaged gently to ensure even distribution of the filler.  Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours post-procedure.  This helps in minimizing the risk of swelling or bruising.

Immediate Results with Progressive Enhancement

One of Voluma’s most compelling features is the immediacy of its results. Patients can observe a noticeable lift and fullness right after the procedure. However, the true extent of the results becomes even more evident after a few days, once any minor swelling or redness subsides.

Follow-Up and Maintenance

While Voluma boasts a relatively long duration of effect, individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated can influence its longevity.  Regular follow-up appointments help in assessing the filler’s performance and determining if and when touch-up treatments might be needed.

Potential Side Effects

As with any injectable treatment, there are potential side effects associated with Voluma, albeit rare.  These might include redness, tenderness, pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.  Most of these side effects are mild and resolve within a week.

How Juvéderm Voluma Differs from Other Fillers

The diverse range of dermal fillers available today means that each product is formulated to address specific aesthetic needs.  While all fillers under the Juvéderm banner are developed using hyaluronic acid, they vary in terms of viscosity, elasticity, and primary usage areas.  Here’s a closer look at what makes Juvéderm Voluma stand out:

  • Target Area: While some fillers are adept at addressing fine lines or superficial wrinkles, Voluma is uniquely crafted for the mid-face region.  Its primary function is to add volume to the cheeks, making them appear fuller and more youthful.  This makes it particularly effective for those with noticeable cheek sagging or hollowing.
  • Consistency and Depth: Voluma has a thicker, more robust consistency than other fillers.  This allows it to be injected deeper into the skin, providing the necessary support to lift and contour the cheeks.  The depth of the injection and the gel’s consistency work together to create noticeable and natural results.
  • Duration of Effect: Thanks to its VYCROSS® technology, Voluma offers longevity that few fillers can match.  While many dermal fillers provide results lasting between six to twelve months, Voluma boasts outcomes that can be observed for up to two years.  This long-lasting effect means fewer trips to the clinic for maintenance and prolonged satisfaction for the patient.
  • Reversibility: An added advantage of hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Voluma is their reversibility.  If a patient is unsatisfied with the results or experiences any complications, a simple injection of an enzyme called hyaluronidase can dissolve the filler, returning the skin to its pre-treatment state.
