1. Understanding Collagen Loss and Its Impact on Skin
As the years pass, your body gradually produces less collagen. Collagen is an essential protein that serves as the main structural component of connective tissue, which supports the skin and mucous membranes. When collagen levels decline, areas such as your cheeks can lose their youthful volume and beauty. Your face, unfortunately, starts to deflate over time from a loss of collagen. In addition to aging, several other factors can contribute to the decrease or breakdown of collagen production, including the use of tanning beds, exposure to the sun, frequent and prolonged use of straws, and smoking cigarettes.
2. Restoring Volume and Youthfulness with Voluma
If you notice a loss of volume in your face and cheeks due to the natural aging process, Voluma may be the ideal solution for you. Our skin tends to lose elasticity and firmness as we age, particularly in the mid-face area, which can lead to sagging. Voluma provides a way to restore lift and fullness to your facial contours.
This innovative injectable gel is carefully administered beneath the skin’s surface to enhance volume, giving your face a rejuvenated and youthful appearance. In addition to adding volume, Voluma also helps to soften the appearance of wrinkles around the mouth and nose, commonly known as nasolabial folds.
When expertly applied at Image Dermatology® P.C., Voluma can provide lasting improvements for up to two years. The procedure has minimal side effects, usually limited to temporary discomfort, redness, bruising, or swelling at the injection site.
3. A Comfortable and Efficient Filler Treatment Experience
Getting filler treatments is a straightforward and relaxed experience. Since the fillers are made from naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, there is no need for allergy testing before the procedure. Dr. Downie uses a small needle to carefully inject the gel-like substance into targeted areas. The fillers contain lidocaine, which ensures maximum comfort during the treatment, which typically takes around 15 minutes or more to complete.

4. Post-Treatment Recovery and Long-Term Results
Following treatment, many patients can immediately resume their normal daily activities. While most people experience a smooth recovery, some might notice mild bruising or swelling at the injection site. These symptoms are typically short-lived.
As soon as the treatment and any necessary downtime have concluded, patients should notice results right away. Depending on the product used, these results can last from a year to 18 months or even longer. To sustain these rejuvenated results and maintain a smoother, more youthful appearance of the face, mouth, lips, and chin, patients are encouraged to schedule follow-up treatment sessions.
