What is Voluma?
Voluma is the first and only filler FDA-approved to instantly add volume to the cheek area. It gives you a subtle lift, helping to restore contour and give a more youthful profile in patients over the age of 21. It’s different than Juvederm, Perlane or Restylane by being specially formulated to provide much better lifting while adding volume to the cheek area. Voluma is the only filler clinically proven to last up to two years.
Voluma is comprised of biotechnologically engineered, non-immunogenic, stabilized hyaluronic acid gel particles. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in all living organisms and provides volume and fullness to the skin.
Voluma is formulated as a clear gel and uses a dual mechanism of action to to lift and sculpt the cheek and other facial areas. Upon being injected beneath the skin’s surface, Voluma gel integrates into dermal tissue then attracts and binds to water molecules to help maintain volume. Voluma is gradually degraded by the body’s own mechanism and disappears without any residue. Results can be seen immediately following Voluma injections.
