Aging is a natural process, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept volume loss and sagging skin. If you’ve noticed your cheeks losing their fullness or your facial contours becoming less defined, Juvéderm Voluma may be the perfect solution for you. This advanced dermal filler is specifically designed to restore lost volume, giving you a more youthful, lifted appearance.
What is Voluma?
Voluma is a hyaluronic acid-based filler from the renowned Juvéderm family of injectables. It is FDA-approved to add volume to the midface and cheeks, providing a subtle yet noticeable lift. The unique formulation allows for long-lasting results, with many patients enjoying their rejuvenated appearance for up to two years.
Benefits of Voluma
- Restores Lost Volume: Over time, the cheeks can become hollow due to collagen loss. Voluma replenishes that volume, bringing back youthful contours.
- Lifts and Defines: Unlike traditional fillers, Voluma is designed to provide a lifting effect, helping to improve sagging skin and redefine facial structure.
- Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, Voluma can maintain its effects for up to 24 months, making it one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers available.
- Natural-Looking Enhancement: Thanks to its smooth, gel-like consistency, Voluma integrates seamlessly into the skin for a soft, natural look.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure is quick and requires minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities almost immediately.
What to Expect During Treatment
A Voluma treatment session typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. A trained medical professional will inject the filler into the midface or cheek area using a fine needle. To enhance comfort, Voluma contains lidocaine, a numbing agent that helps minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Most patients experience little to no downtime, with mild swelling or bruising being the most common temporary side effects. Results are visible immediately, and improvements continue to develop over the following weeks as the filler settles into place.
Who is a Good Candidate for Voluma?
You may be an ideal candidate for Voluma if you:
- Have noticed volume loss in your cheeks or midface
- Desire a more lifted and youthful appearance
- Prefer a non-surgical solution with long-lasting results
- Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
Voluma FAQs
What are the adverse effects of Voluma?
While Voluma is generally safe, some patients may experience mild side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or lumps at the injection site. Rare but more serious complications include infection, allergic reactions, or vascular occlusion if the filler is improperly placed.
How long do Voluma results last?
Voluma provides long-lasting results, with most patients enjoying their enhanced facial volume for up to 24 months. Individual longevity may vary depending on metabolism, lifestyle, and aftercare.
Does Voluma have a biostimulant effect?
Unlike some other fillers like Sculptra or Radiesse, which stimulate collagen production, Voluma primarily provides volume through hyaluronic acid. While it does not have a strong biostimulant effect, hyaluronic acid fillers can promote some collagen remodeling over time.
How much does Voluma cost?
The cost of Voluma varies based on the number of syringes used and the provider’s expertise. Pricing generally depends on location and provider experience. On average, prices range anywhere from $700 to $1,200 per syringe. The number of syringes required depends on the individual’s facial structure and desired results. On average, most patients need 1 to 4 syringes to achieve optimal volume and lift.
