What is Voluma?
Voluma, a dermal filler developed by Allergan and part of the Juvéderm family, is specifically designed for non-surgical cheek augmentation. Made from hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring sugar molecule in the skin—Juvéderm Voluma restores facial volume, smooths out wrinkles, and provides a natural lift and plumpness to the cheeks. It enhances the chin profile and cheekbones, creating a balanced and well-contoured facial appearance.
How Does Voluma Work?
Juvéderm Voluma stands out from other fillers in the Juvederm line due to its thick and robust formula, designed for injection into the deep dermis to address age-related facial volume loss. Utilizing a modified version of Hylacross technology and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA), Voluma achieves effective cross-linking. This results in an exceptionally viscous product providing a lifting effect while maintaining a smooth and cohesive texture.
Benefits of Voluma
Juvéderm Voluma filler is a highly effective hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that enhances volume and contours in the cheeks, chin, and jawline. Its popularity has surged due to its numerous benefits:
- Immediate Results: You’ll see a visible improvement in volume and definition as soon as the filler is injected.
- Long-lasting Effects: Unlike many other fillers that last only a few months, Juvéderm Voluma provides results lasting up to two years, making it a cost-effective option for addressing age-related volume loss.
- Non-invasive Procedure: The injections are minimally invasive, requiring no downtime. You can resume your daily activities right after the treatment.
- Customizable Treatment: Each treatment is personalized to match your unique facial structure. Your healthcare provider can adjust the amount of filler and the injection technique to achieve natural-looking results.
- Safe and FDA-approved: Juvéderm Voluma is extensively studied and FDA-approved for adding volume to the cheeks, chin, and jawline.
- Reversible Results: If you’re not satisfied with the results, they can be easily reversed with the enzyme, hyaluronidase.
Juvéderm Voluma offers a safe, effective, customizable solution to restore facial volume without surgery.
What treatments can be paired with Voluma?
Combining Juvéderm Voluma with other cosmetic treatments can significantly enhance its rejuvenating effects. For a comprehensive facial transformation, consider pairing Voluma with Botox to effectively address wrinkles around the eyes and forehead while using Voluma to add volume to the cheeks. Incorporating treatments such as laser skin resurfacing with HALO or MOXI lasers, or chemical peels, into your plan can also improve skin texture. This holistic approach ensures optimal results and a youthful and refreshed appearance.
When Will Results Show?
You will notice immediate improvements as your cheeks become fuller and more contoured with lifting and firming. The most significant results typically appear after two weeks.
What areas can Voluma Treat?
Juvéderm Voluma can enhance various facial areas, adding fullness to the chin, volume to the cheeks, and definition to the jawline.
Before, During, and After
What To Expect Before a Voluma Procedure
During your consultation in Seattle and Kirkland, we take the time to understand your specific concerns and answer any questions you may have. Our compassionate team of highly skilled practitioners is dedicated to exceeding your expectations and enhancing your natural beauty. We’ll develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs, focusing on the features you want to improve.
What To Expect During a Voluma Procedure
During your Juvéderm Voluma filler procedure, your face will be cleaned and sterilized to prevent any potential infections, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to maximize comfort throughout the process. The provider will then use a fine needle or cannula to inject the Juvéderm Voluma filler into specific areas of your face, strategically placing the filler where volume has been lost. After the injection, the provider may gently massage the treated area to ensure the filler is evenly distributed and to smooth out any lumps.
What To Expect After a Voluma Procedure
Once the procedure is complete, you will be given aftercare instructions to follow. It’s important not to massage, touch, or press on the injection site and to avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours after treatment. Additionally, avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen. You should see immediate results after the procedure, with optimal results appearing within two weeks as swelling subsides. Your provider may schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your results and make necessary touch-ups.
