Voluma®

How We Age:

Our skin loses collagen and elastin as we age, so our skin becomes less firm over time. In addition, we lose fat and bone volume in our faces, which means the scaffolding for our skin isn’t as robust. In our cheeks, this means the round young cheek becomes a flatter, older cheek.

Voluma® (formally known as Juvederm Voluma XC) is a hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable gel that is FDA-approved to add volume to the cheeks. It’s the newest filler in the Juvederm family of products. But Voluma has been used in Europe since 2005 and has been used in over 70 countries worldwide. It’s formulated with lidocaine, a numbing medicine, to give you a more comfortable experience.

You will begin the consultation process by meeting with our Physician Assistants or Dr. Kavali. She will help to establish your goals for your procedures and take your before photos to accurately track your transformation.

The consultation time is meant to be comfortable and educational. We want you to feel completely informed, so you can make your own personal best decision.

Filler risks and treatment limits

Dermal fillers can cause swelling, bruising, pain, infection, or nodules. Unintended injection into a blood vessel can cause tissue death, vision loss, or stroke. FDA approval is specific to a product and treatment area; it does not cover every facial area or body contouring. Ask which product is proposed, whether the use is approved, and how complications are managed.
