Voluma possesses a thicker consistency in comparison to Juvederm, giving it unique and powerful lifting properties. This is the reason why there are differences in where it can be injected.
The way it works is nearly identical to that of Juvederm, although the results of Voluma can last for up to 2 years. Another difference between the two is in the way Voluma is injected. Because it's injected directly above the bone, Voluma is great for those who desire a fuller cheek area or more pronounced cheekbones.
Juvederm is the name of the collection of fillers, inclusive of five different formulations specifically designed to target and treat different areas of the face. Juvederm Voluma refers to the specific formulation that has been designed to treat and correct areas of the cheeks that have experienced volume loss.
Voluma – “Lift without Surgery” Juvederm Voluma is a facial filler made up of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps to bind water to cells. Its extensive cross-linking helps to provide an excellent lifting capacity, making it an excellent choice for restoring volume in the cheeks and midface.
Juvederm Voluma® is ideal for the cheek area to add volume and plumpness. The filler is often used in people who have experienced volume loss in the face and cheeks either due to aging or illness. As we mature, our cheeks naturally start losing volume, and the skin can lose elasticity and cause a bit of sagging.
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.
How Long It Lasts. Juvederm lasts longer than products like Botox and Dysport, and patients can enjoy its effects for a period varying between six months and a year. Voluma lasts even longer than Juvederm – its effects are apparently for up to two years.
Because Juvederm Voluma helps stimulate collagen production, after two years, patients often need less product, less frequently to maintain results. Results last longer and patients need fewer syringes to keep their cheeks and midface voluminous and lifted.
Restylane can be used to address many of the same facial areas as Juvederm, however it is particularly effective in treating the lips, cheeks, and area around the nose. It can also be used to for hand rejuvenation by adding volume to the back of the hands.
Like the rest of the Juvederm family of dermal fillers, Voluma is made from a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid suspended in a smooth and pliable gel. Because it's made of a naturally produced ingredient, the results are also very natural looking and can even improve the condition of your skin.
These include how quickly your body metabolizes the injections and how healthy your skin is. Generally, Radiesse lasts 15 months and Voluma lasts two years.
Great Anti-aging Treatment
Juvederm Voluma is a great anti-aging treatment for patients who have moderate skin concerns that they want to correct without surgery.
Voluma Injections
It can take days to weeks to see the full effects of this incredible facial restoration treatment. One Voluma treatment tends to delivers long-lasting results. When properly administered, you can expect a natural youthfulness.
Juvederm Voluma is used on the cheeks and can potentially last up to 2 years with approximately 6 syringes. Radiesse is an anti-aging semi-filler that uses calcium hydroxyapatite, a naturally occurring substance usually found in the bones and the teeth.
It is FDA approved to fill, contour, and lift the cheeks, revitalize the midface, and create a fresh glow in the skin with one simple treatment. Like the rest of the Juvederm products, this filler has a hyaluronic acid base and is injected into the skin with a fine needle.
The total cost of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC is approximately $800 to $1,000 per syringe, though it can be more in certain geographic regions. Your cost will take into account the amount of filler needed to achieve your aesthetic goals as well as the skill of the professional providing the treatment.
The differences for Restylane Lyft vs Voluma? Restylane Lyft is FDA approved for 15-18 months of lift while Voluma is FDA approved for 20-24 months of lift. Voluma is the softer agent and I like using this in individuals with thin skin or with individuals who need a mild lift (younger patients).
And is Juvederm really worth the cost? Juvederm is an exceptional product. It's natural, it's long-lasting and it's affordable. Juvederm is typically priced by the syringe, considered industry standard.
Though Belotero and Juvederm are both dermal fillers, Belotero's lower density makes it a better option for filling much finer lines and wrinkles than Juvederm.
Sculptra Filler is innovative because it causes the body to create its own collagen, making it a “volumizer” instead of a filler. It's injected into areas of concern just like a filler, but that's where the similarities stop.
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.
Patients should not exercise and should avoid heat and sun exposure for at least 24 hours after Voluma injections to minimize the risk of swelling and bruising. Patients are given ice packs to use for a few minutes after their injections. We ask our patients to try to sleep on their back for two nights if possible.
What Is the Recovery Process Like? After a treatment session, you should avoid consuming alcohol for about 24 hours. It's also essential that you avoid putting too much pressure on the area you treated. If you put too much pressure or touch the areas you treated, it can cause the filler to move around.
JUVÉDERM® Voluma™ XC: Adds volume to the cheek area to combat midface volume loss. JUVÉDERM® Volift™: Adds volume to smooth out smile lines. JUVÉDERM® Volbella™ XC: Adds volume to the lips. JUVÉDERM® Volux: Adds volume to the chin/ jawline.
Can the effects be reversed if desired? Yes. All hyaluronic acid fillers may be quickly dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Though it is very rarely requested, first-time patients may feel more comfortable knowing that the effects can be reversed quickly, easily, and safely, usually within 24 hours.
