Voluma by Skin Med Spa

Most Trusted Voluma Facility in Santa Monica, CA

Voluma, one of the Best Facial Fillers from the cosmetic industry’s market was recently FDA approved for use in the United States. Many people are familiar with Juvederm, Restylane, and Perlane, but now women and men alike can take advantage of Voluma, a cheek filler that is the first with hyaluronic acid to be given this specific indication.

Also referred to as Juvederm Voluma XC, Voluma was designed to instantly lift your face by restoring lost volume and smooth lines in your cheek area. Its smooth gel formula is what makes Voluma so special as it provides an unmatched ability to sculpt the facial contours of the men and women who swear by it.

What is Voluma?

Voluma filler is composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally occurring substance in your body. Voluma injections are given under the skin and HA takes action as it draws in and holds onto moisture to plump wrinkles and restore youthful facial features. Another perk of Voluma XC is that it also encourages your body to produce collagen naturally, improving the appearance of your skin over time.

Voluma is the newest part of the Juvederm category of hyaluronic acid injectable fillers. It is commonly injected into the cheekbones and chin as well as the cheeks. Additionally, it is sometimes used to add definition to an individual’s jawline. These Facial Filler injections are able to restore the balance and youthful proportions to the patient’s face, as can be clearly seen in our Juvederm Voluma before and after photos. After treatment, you will easily notice the restoration of youthfulness and softness of the skin as displayed in our before and after photos.

Instantly Add Volume

As people age, we loose the natural fat in our face. The result of this stems from a decrease in the natural elasticity of the skin. This is partially due to a lack of hyaluronic acid, as the levels of this substance in the skin decreases over time with age. There are many cosmetic procedures that can combat aging, including dermal fillers such as Voluma.

Are You a Candidate for Voluma?

Almost any man or woman who is in generally good health, yet experiencing volume loss in their cheeks and mid-face can reap the benefits that Voluma has to offer. If you are troubled with the hollowing appearance of your face that accompanies normal aging or dramatic weight loss, Voluma may be the treatment for you. Suitable candidates for this procedure are those who have experienced volume loss in the face due to aging, weight loss that has affected the skin, or medical problems that affect the symmetry or perkiness of the face. However, patients should discuss their suitability for the procedure with their physicians before deciding to have it done.

The Voluma XC Treatment

One treatment takes less than one hour in the office. Tiny needles are used for injections just below the skin. These injections can cause very little discomfort as Voluma is combined with Lidocaine, which is a local anesthetic.

Voluma Before and After

There is little preparation that is necessary prior to the procedure. Initially following the injection, you may notice some mild redness, swelling and bruising at the injection site. These short-term features diminish quickly and your normal activities can be resumed immediately following your injections.

The Cost of Voluma

The cost of a Voluma injection varies from clinic to clinic. In 2013, it was reported that a one cc. syringe of Voluma was priced at an average of $1,000. Typically for each treatment, only two to four syringes are necessary. But as the effects of Voluma can last up to two years, with dramatic Juvederm Voluma before and after comparisons, many say it is well worth the investment. In fact, an abundance of positive Voluma reviews boast of how many men and women were able to get their self-confidence back as Voluma restored the natural, youthful shape of their face.

Voluma Treatment Results

This Facial filler is different from other injectable gels. Voluma is a new filler that recently acquired FDA approval in the United States for filling the cheek region. It is the first hyaluronic filler authorized amongst Juvederm, Belotero and Restylane. Other fillers focus on deep lines and wrinkles elsewhere on the face. Voluma treatments are notably short and can be correctly administered just a few minutes. You will notice your skin have plumper appearance and your face will look more youthful. Some patients choose to schedule more treatments to even further achieve their skincare goals. The following treatments should likely take even less time and require less of the filler.

Voluma contains lidocaine to maximize comfort as much as possible during the treatment. Comfort levels during the procedure also vary between people. The results of a treatment session can last for up to a year and a half, though this length of time can vary from person to person.

More on Voluma?

Approved by the FDA, Voluma is an injectable filler used as a hyaluronic acid. It is injected into the cheek area using a small needle, which temporarily restores volume to the mid-face. It is used most often by women over the age of 21, who are looking for a more youthful, smoother skin surface.

Voluma is the first filler to treat age related midface volume loss and the only filler that lasts up to two years.  A majority of people that use Voluma once, will come back and forego another procedure because they are so satisfied with their initial results.
