Volume is a major characteristic of a beautiful face, and it makes a world of difference in the appearance of your skin. Too little volume can make the face look sunken and exaggerate fine lines. For long lasting results, consider Voluma®.
What is Voluma®?
Voluma® is a non-invasive thick gel filler that is injected deep into the skin resulting in increased volume, lifting, and contouring of the cheeks, cheekbones, and jaw line. Voluma® is the longest lasting FDA approved facial filler, lasting up to two years. Other fillers typically last less than one year.
Patient Reviews
Done this afternoon, so far so good. Checkup this afternoon, still doing well. Had a billing question that was resolved quickly and satisfactorily before I finished my checkout. Good care and good administration.
Does Voluma® have side effects?
Voluma® has the same potential side effects as every other facial filler, such as swelling, bruising, and redness. Because Voluma® is injected more deeply into the tissues, there may be more tenderness or soreness for a few days after treatment. Discomfort is easily managed with over the counter pain medication such as Tylenol.People with severe allergiesshould not use Voluma®. Be sure to inform Dr. Carvajal of all allergies you may have.
Are Voluma® injections painful?
Given that Voluma® is injected deeper than most fillers, it is pre-mixed with lidocaine (a numbing agent) so most patients find the treatment to be very comfortable. The only discomfort is the injection into the skin which is done through a very fine gauge needle and feels like a quick pinch. As the Voluma® gel is placed, you will feel mild pressure. Patients are very comfortable while receiving Voluma® treatments.
How quickly will I see results?
Voluma® results are seen immediately following treatment. Treatments take approximately an hour.
