Voluma

What is Voluma?

VOLUMA is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler that instantly adds volume to the cheek area giving you a subtle lift, helping to restore contour and a more youthful profile for up to 2 years.

VOLUMA delivers smooth, natural-looking fullness to sunken cheeks and firmness to a softening jawline.

Why Voluma?

The first of its kind, Voluma was specifically created to restore lost facial volume in the cheeks, cheekbones and chin.

While other wrinkle fillers offer excellent results when applied to fine lines and wrinkles, Voluma is better suited to larger-scale facial re-volumizing.

The hyaluronic acid contained in VOLUMA is a sugar that occurs naturally in your skin, and it is used to instantly restore lost facial volume in the cheeks and contour the chin.

How does Voluma work?

Voluma with Lidocaine is an injectable hyaluronic acid filler that adds fullness to areas that need a little more support or enhancement. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring, hydrating substance found in your skin. As you age, you start to lose HA, which causes the skin to lose structure and volume.

VOLUMA also combines with collagen and elastin to improve skin structure and elasticity, and create a smooth natural look. The results are instant, natural looking and can last up to 2 years.

Voluma was developed with VYCROSS™ technology and designed to be smoother than other hyaluronic acid facial fillers to make it easier to inject during treatment, resulting in a smooth, natural look and feel.

Shortly after treatment with Voluma you should notice that your facial contours appear fuller and rounder, giving your face a softer, more youthful appearance. You will regain a youthful curve to the cheeks and enhance the overall shape of your face.

Plus there’s no downtime – most people resume normal activities immediately.

What is the OGEE Curve and how does Voluma help restore it?

The OGEE curve is the gentle “S” shape that runs from the cheeckbone to the mid-face hollow and it is the area that draws the gaze of an observer. As we age, this natural curve collapses due to loss of volume and sagging skin.

Voluma helps restore and highlight your natural OGEE curve, turning back the clock to re-discover a younger you.

What areas can be treated with VOLUMA?

Using the latest in volumizing technology, VOLUMA proves that a little volume can go a long way in restoring a more youthful, natural appearance:

• Restore deep volume loss and smooth the mid-face.
• Rejuvenate sunken areas around the cheeks.
• Create volume and youthful contour in the chin.
