Over time, facial volume loss can significantly alter your appearance, creating hollow cheeks, flattened facial contours, and a less-defined profile. This natural aging process occurs as we lose facial fat and bone density, leading to a gradual deflation of once-youthful features. While this transformation happens to everyone, it can prematurely age your appearance and affect your confidence.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA, an advanced dermal filler specifically designed for deep tissue augmentation, uniquely addresses these concerns by providing targeted volumization where you need it most. Unlike fillers designed for superficial wrinkles, VOLUMA works at a deeper level to restore structural support to your facial architecture.
This revolutionary hyaluronic acid filler features a specialized formulation that mimics the natural substances found in youthful skin. Its unique cross-linking technology allows for precise placement and long-lasting results, effectively rebuilding lost volume while maintaining natural movement and expression.
Whether you’re looking to enhance your cheekbones, define your jawline, or improve chin projection, VOLUMA offers customizable solutions that can be tailored to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Why VOLUMA Stands Apart
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA distinguishes itself through its specialized thick gel formulation that is specifically designed for deep injection in the mid-face and cheeks. While other fillers in the JUVÉDERM family target surface-level concerns, VOLUMA’s innovative cross-linking technology creates a robust scaffold beneath the skin, providing exceptional lifting capacity and structural support that can last up to two years.
Proprietary Technology
The science behind VOLUMA centers on hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that helps maintain skin hydration and volume. HA is a common ingredient in dermal fillers, but VOLUMA’s unique manufacturing process sets it apart. Through Allergan’s proprietary VYCROSS® technology, the hyaluronic acid molecules are cross-linked at different molecular weights to create a more stable and longer-lasting product. This process results in a smooth, cohesive gel that integrates seamlessly with your natural tissue.
Volumization, Hydration & Collagen Stimulation
While many skincare products contain hyaluronic acid, their surface-level application can’t address deep volume loss. VOLUMA’s dense gel formulation enables deep tissue integration, where it works on multiple levels to restore youthful contours. The filler not only provides immediate volumization but also attracts and binds water molecules within the tissue. Additionally, its placement stimulates natural collagen production, leading to sustained improvements in skin elasticity and facial contours over time.
Natural Look & Movement
This advanced formulation also contributes to VOLUMA’s impressive malleability and tissue integration. When injected by a skilled practitioner, the product can be precisely molded to create natural-looking enhancement that moves harmoniously with your facial expressions. The gel’s cohesive nature means it stays where it’s placed, maintaining defined contours while allowing for natural movement.
Perhaps most importantly, VOLUMA’s sophisticated composition means results appear gradually and naturally. Rather than creating an obvious “filled” look, the product integrates with your tissue to restore lost volume in a way that appears entirely organic. This subtle yet significant enhancement helps you look like a refreshed version of yourself, not an obviously treated version.
Your JUVÉDERM Treatment Experience and Results
The Consultation
Your VOLUMA treatment begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Lee to assess your needs and develop a personalized approach. During this initial meeting, we’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, examine your facial structure, and create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns while maintaining natural-looking proportions.
Your journey starts with a comprehensive facial assessment that considers:
- Natural facial symmetry and proportions
- Areas of volume loss
- Skin quality and elasticity
- Previous aesthetic treatments
- Your desired outcome
The VOLUMA Procedure
The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes and involves minimal discomfort thanks to VOLUMA’s integrated anesthetic (lidocaine). The numbing agent ensures your comfort throughout the process.
Most patients resume their daily activities immediately following treatment. However, we recommend:
- Avoiding strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours
- Limiting excessive heat exposure
- Sleeping with your head slightly elevated
- Applying cold compresses as directed
- Following specific aftercare instructions
VOLUMA Recovery Timeline
While VOLUMA provides instant volumization, your results will continue to develop over the following two weeks as the product settles naturally into your tissues. During this time, you may experience:
- Mild swelling that gradually subsides
- Slight tenderness at injection sites
- Temporary firmness that softens naturally
- Progressive improvement in facial contours
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA Benefits
VOLUMA can achieve remarkable improvements in facial aesthetics through multiple effects. The treatment excels at restoring lost midface volume, creating a more youthful and lifted appearance in areas that commonly show signs of aging. It skillfully enhances cheekbone definition, helping to recreate the natural contours that often diminish over time.
When used for chin enhancement, VOLUMA can improve projection and create a more defined profile, strengthening facial balance. The treatment works to create harmonious facial proportions by strategically replacing volume where it’s needed most.
Perhaps most importantly, VOLUMA provides these enhancements while maintaining a natural-looking result. Dr. Lee’s patients often report that friends and family notice they look refreshed and rejuvenated without being able to pinpoint exactly what has changed.
Long-Term Results & Follow-Up Care
One of VOLUMA’s most impressive features is its longevity. Results can last up to two years with proper care. This extended duration makes it a cost-effective option compared to other fillers that require more frequent maintenance.
Your relationship with our practice continues after treatment through:
- Scheduled follow-up appointments
- Regular assessment of results
- Touch-up treatments as needed
- Ongoing skincare guidance
- Long-term aesthetic planning
Remember that while VOLUMA provides impressive and long-lasting results, maintaining a consistent skincare routine and healthy lifestyle habits will help optimize your outcome. Our team remains available to support your aesthetic journey and answer any questions that arise during your treatment experience.
