Unlocking Youthful Contours: Your Complete Guide to Voluma Face Filler Injections
Are you considering a subtle enhancement to your facial contours? Voluma face filler just might be the magic solution you are looking for! This popular dermal filler is renowned for its ability to restore volume, enhance the appearance of the cheeks, and give you a smooth, youthful look. But what exactly does it do, and is it right for you?
Dr. Jeanine Downie of image Dermatology® P.C. in Montclair, New Jersey, is here to educate you with some of the most frequently asked questions about Voluma:
What is Voluma? How does it work?
Voluma is a hyaluronic acid gel-based dermal filler from the trusted Juvéderm family. It is used on the label on the face as a filler and off-label in other areas, such as the back of the hands, earlobes, and even the balls of the feet. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that also cushions your elbows and your knees, and all your joints! Voluma is uniquely designed to add fullness to areas like your cheeks. It works by binding to water molecules under the skin, instantly lifting and smoothing while enhancing your natural contours.
How long does Voluma last?
Voluma isn’t just a quick and short-term fix. Unlike some other types of dermal fillers on the market today, Voluma is formulated to last up to 18 months! Of course, longevity depends on factors such as your metabolism and lifestyle, but many patients at image Dermatology® P.C. rave about how long their results last.
Is the procedure painful or uncomfortable?
Not at all! Voluma treatments are specifically designed to be as comfortable as possible. We use topical numbing agents to ensure patients achieve maximum comfort. The filler itself contains lidocaine, a numbing agent that minimizes any potential discomfort during the procedure. Plus, Dr. Downie is an expert at putting her patients at ease.
What can I expect after a Voluma treatment?
After your Voluma session, you may experience mild swelling or redness, which is completely normal and typically subsides within 1-2 days. Most patients return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. And the best part is that the results from Voluma are instantly visible!
