What to know about Voluma dermal fillers
Juvederm Voluma is one of several injectables available with our team at Cassie Lane Aesthetics of Richmond, Virginia. In fact, it works a little differently than traditional dermal fillers, adding volume in larger areas of the face. Let’s look at what you need to know about this injectable and how it works.
What is the Voluma filler?
The team at Cassie Lane Aesthetics describes Voluma as an injectable gel that is used to instantly add volume to the cheeks and chin area, creating a more youthful appearance. It is formulated from an ingredient known as hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin moisture and elasticity.
How does Voluma work?
Voluma is an injectable that works by adding volume to areas of the face that have lost fat and collagen due to aging. The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm Voluma acts as a cushioning agent, providing structure and support to the skin. This results in a more contoured appearance.
Is Voluma a safe treatment?
Absolutely! Juvederm Voluma has already been approved by the FDA for use in the United States. It is also one of the most extensively studied dermal fillers on the market. In addition, it is made from a substance that naturally occurs in the body, making it very safe and biocompatible. Our injectors are also highly trained on safe injection practices for this and other injectable products.
How long do the results of Voluma injections last?
The longevity of Voluma’s results can vary between patients, but on average, they can last up to 2 years. However, individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle choices can affect how long the results will be visible.
Are there any side effects associated with Voluma treatments?
As with any cosmetic and medical procedure, there are some potential side effects that might occur after receiving Voluma injections. These can include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These are usually very mild and subside without further action within a few days to a week. Rarely, more serious side effects like an occlusion, infection or allergic reactions may occur. We advise you to discuss any concerns with our providers at Cassie Lane Aesthetics before undergoing treatment.
Can Voluma be combined with other cosmetic procedures?
Many of our patients find that Voluma can be used in combination with many other cosmetic procedures to achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Some popular combinations include using Botox for fine lines and wrinkles and Juvederm products for lip enhancement and nasolabial folds.
