Voluma

.

Voluma injections consist of hyaluronic acid that may minimize or eliminate lines and wrinkles that appear with aging.  The hyaluronic acid and collagen present in the body decrease with age causing the lines and wrinkles to appear. The Voluma injections is mostly used to treat lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, temples, eyebrows, face and cheek contours.

The Voluma injections may help the skin to restore its firmness and contours by adding volume giving an enhanced appearance. In some cases, these injections may be used to plump the lip area. When coming to how Voluma injections work, the whole procedure may be completed in a few minutes and the results may appear immediately. Full results may be obvious in 2–4 weeks and may last for 18 months. The substance is usually injected with Lidocaine that reduces discomfort caused by the injection.

The Juvederm® Voluma XC Difference:

Juvéderm® VOLUMA® with Lidocaine was specifically created to restore lost facial volume in the cheeks, cheekbones and chin. It was developed to be smoother than other hyaluronic acid facial volumisers, making it easier to inject during the filler treatment and resulting in a smooth, natural look and feel. Juvéderm® VOLUMA® with Lidocaine was developed with VYCROSS™ technology to deliver a natural look and feel, with results proven to last up to 18 months.

What to expect during the treatment?

A topical numbing cream or injectable anesthesia to numb the treatment area first. Treatment takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes to perform. The treatments involve very small needles, and are virtually painless due to the numbing medicine and Dr. Tasha Shamlin or Dr. Kenyatta Shamlin’s gentle injection technique. After the doctor injects the area with Voluma, They then massage the area to ensure that it is properly distributed. Patients may return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
