In general, the results of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA cheek filler are typically visible for around a year. However, patients sometimes find that the results are visible for up to two years once they start getting maintenance treatments.
Your results will last up to six months and can be extended with a follow-up treatment three months after your initial injection to help extend those results a year or longer. When you begin treatment, we will design the right treatment plan for your needs so that you can experience a youthful appearance once again.
Voluma syringes are typically one cc and many patients need between two and four syringes to complete the treatment, which can be one to two syringes per cheek.
Answer: Fillers improvement over time.
Once the fillers settle in, and your tissue heals from injections, your results can truly be seen as they are! Voluma and Volbella are hyaluronic acid fillers, which do not stimulate collagen on their own.
Juvederm Voluma is the only filler proven to last up to 2 years. The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm Voluma slowly metabolizes over time, so patients often opt for a follow-up treatment when their results start to diminish.
If you have already had this dermal filler, you may be wondering when you should have the injection again. For most patients, we recommend regularly scheduled maintenance appointments about every 3 to 4 months to maintain the desired appearance.

Juvederm Voluma® can last for up to two years. It's also important to know that there is some evidence supporting the idea that hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm Voluma® can help stimulate collagen production in the body. This boost in collagen can generate a longer period of improvement in the skin.
Voluma is part of the Juvederm family of filler products and is specially designed to lift and contour the cheeks.

Answer: Voluma Amounts
To make a noticeable difference you will need at least 1 syringe per cheek. You may even want more filler, but start there and let it settle for two weeks and you could always return for more.
Do they lift like a facelift? Never. However, they do provide a bit of a lift or give the illusion of lifting. Cheek fillers also provide volume to the face.
The most common side effects include temporary injection-site reactions such as: redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration. For JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC, side effects are moderate (uncomfortable), and generally last 2 to 4 weeks.
Fillers may stretch the skin a little, causing it to look smoother. However, as an adequate amount of fillers starts to wear off, your skin will be elastic enough to go back to its original form before you had your treatment.
Voluma and Radiesse are two of the more popular filers for deep injections such as over the cheek bones. Radiesse is more firm and only partially dissolvable in case of an unfavorable injection. Voluma is softer and completely dissolvable. Both are long lasting, with around two years of duration of action.
The most common side effects include temporary reactions at the treatment site such as tenderness, swelling, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, pain, redness, discoloration, and itching. These side effects are consistent with other facial-injection procedures.
Answer: Massaging after Voluma
If you have quite thin skin it is possible that Voluma will be visible to start with as it tends to hold its shape - in this case moulding it yourself over the first 24-48 hours can help. If you are happy with the result you have I don't imagine that massage will be necessary.
Try to sleep on your back for 24-48 hours after filler injections. After that, you can safely sleep on your side without worrying that the filler will move with gravity.
There is a medication that is intended to dissolve excess Hyaluronic Acid fillers like Voluma that is marketed as "Wydase" AKA Hyaluronidase. Injections of Hyaluronidase does carry a modest cost but it is usually quite effective.
Answer: Voluma
Voluma is typically placed onto the cheekbone or chin area and after a day or so it is fairly “set” but shifting is possible.

The use of fillers in the face to achieve a liquid facelift or to increase the size of your cheek bones will leave some damage behind to your face and in the young patient under the age of 35 it will make you look older.
Dermal filler will not cause the skin to stretch and sag, once the filler naturally breaks down. The only case where this would happen is if the face were to be grossly overfilled with extreme amounts of dermal fillers, which is something we most certainly do not do at Cityskin.
