How much does Voluma cost?
Your cost for a Voluma treatment can vary, depending on how much product is required to meet your goals. Since Voluma lasts up to two years, you should focus on finding a medical professional to administer it, and avoid anywhere offering extremely cheap or knock-off injections. Prior to your first injection, we will evaluate your mid-face and listen to your wants before making your custom treatment plan. After this, we can discuss the amount of Voluma that will be needed for your treatment and how much it will cost.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance that works to bind water to cells. Along with other functions, it can retain moisture and create fullness in the skin. Like other Juvéderm fillers, Voluma's main ingredient is a synthetic version of HA. When Voluma's hyaluronic acid-based formula is injected into your skin, it can restore fullness to your mid-face. The HA also helps your skin hold moisture so your complexion is softer and healthier compared to before your treatment.
How long do the results from Voluma last?
With proper treatment, Voluma results can last up to two years. Many patients notice immediate improvement, with results continuing to settle and refine over the following weeks. Depending on your goals—especially if you’re looking to restore or build more volume—multiple treatments may be recommended. During your consultation, Lacey Wilson will create a personalized Voluma plan and guide you on how often to schedule treatments to maintain your results.
Is there any downtime needed after a Voluma treatment?
Voluma treatments typically require little to no downtime, allowing you to return to your normal routine the same day. It’s best to avoid strenuous activity, including exercise, for the first 24 hours. Lacey will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help your results look their best and last longer. Mild swelling or bruising is possible, and using a cold compress can help reduce these effects. Sleeping with your head slightly elevated and avoiding unnecessary touching of the treated area are also recommended.
What are the possible side effects of Voluma?
Many patients experience mild bruising and swelling at the injection sites for 2 – 4 weeks after their treatment. Other common temporary side effects include tenderness, firmness, lumps, bumps, discomfort, redness, discoloration, and itching. If they happen, treatment side effects are usually mild and short-term. If you have any concerns, reactions that last longer than one month, or you develop signs of an infection, contact Starkman Facial Plastic Surgery.
