skin's production of HA slows down, and we lose the fullness and volume that makes us look youthful and vibrant.
JUVEDERM Voluma is the first filler that has been approved by the FDA. Injections can instantly add volume to the cheek area. It can also be used elsewhere on the face or body where extra volume is needed, and is especially helpful to fill in the lines around the mouth and nose.
With the subtle lift of this filler, the contour of your face can be restored and you will be given back your youthful profile.
How long does it last?
Everyone is different, but clinical studies have shown, that with optimal treatment, JUVEDERM Voluma lasts up to two years. After this, repeated injections may be needed to maintain your desired results.
Does it hurt?
There may be some discomfort with the injections. JUVEDERM Voluma also contains a small amount of lidocaine that helps reduce pain at the injection site. Your medical spa professional may choose to use an additional numbing agent to help lessen your discomfort.
Is there a recovery period?
The side effects of this new filler are minimal. You may experience a little tenderness, swelling or firmness at the injection site. These side effects are temporary but may last up to two to four weeks. Immediately following your injections you will want to avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for 24 hours. Your medical spa professionals will advise you as to makeup application following your treatment.
How many treatments does it take?
You will want to discuss your treatment plan with the experts at your medical spa. You may need to have a touch up a few weeks after your initial treatment to give you just the right look.
