Juvéderm Voluma is an injectable hyaluronic volumizer that provides long-lasting restoration for facial volume. The results are immediate, even and very natural looking. Voluma restores youthful volume to cheeks, cheekbones and chin that have become hollow or thin due to weight loss or age-related facial fat loss.
Voluma is the first and only filler FDA-approved to instantly add volume to the cheek area. It gives you a subtle lift, helping to restore contour and a more youthful profile, for up to 2 years. It’s different than Juvéderm XC and works on a different area of the face. Juvéderm XC smoothes out moderate to severe wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth, like parentheses. Voluma, however, adds volume to the cheek area.
It is recommended you make your Filler Appointment as least two weeks in advance of any special events to ensure the best possible and full result.
You’ll be asked to avoid alcohol, blood thinners, Ibuprofen, and certain supplements at least 48 hours prior to treatment to avoid increased bruising or bleeding.
You’ll be asked to confirm it has been at least a week since you last used retinol or had any prolonged sun exposure.
Treatments usually last around 1 hour.
Facial Filler is injected with a fine needle, in areas that need additional volume. All of our facial fillers contain a small amount of lidocaine (a local anesthesia), which numb the area to minimize discomfort.
Depending on the number of treatment areas, you can expect to use 1-4 syringes of filler.
It takes around 2 weeks for full treatment effects to appear. With results lasting 9-12 months.
You may experience tenderness, swelling, pain, or bruising at the injection site but this should subside after a few days. You can take acetaminophen to help with any discomfort, as well as arnica tablets or gel for possible swelling and bruising.
After treatment it is recommended to avoid alcohol, laying down, any strenuous exercise, and manipulation of the area post treatment.
