What Should I Know Before Getting A Juvederm Voluma Treatment?

Posted on: 15 January 2015

Are you starting to have concern regarding your appearance as you get older? Maybe you've heard of people getting fillers but you really have no idea what that consists of. Juvederm Voluma is a type of filler that can help reduce the volume that can be lost in the cheeks and reduce some of the signs of aging. But like with any medical treatment, there are things that patients should know before signing on the dotted line with their approval.

What is Juvederm Voluma?

Juvederm Voluma treatments are designed for those that have begun to see a loss of volume in their cheeks, along with possible skin sagging. It is a soft tissue filler that is made out of a gel that is injected to the cheek area. This is the only treatment that is FDA approved to add volume to the cheek area. It is expected to provide a lift and volume for up to two years after the first treatment. Juvederm Voluma is a non surgical treatment option that can be performed in one office visit under local anesthetic.

Who is a Good Candidate for Juvederm Voluma?

Anyone over the age of 21 that has volume loss in the cheek area could be a candidate for Juvederm Voluma treatment. This treatment can also be performed on patients that have poorly defined cheekbones. Patients that may not be the right candidate for a surgical treatment option can be a good candidate for Juvederm Voluma, especially those that have skin laxity and age related volume loss.

What is the Average Juvederm Voluma Treatment Like?

In most cases, a local anesthetic is administered via a topical numbing cream. This is done approximately 20 minutes before the treatment begins. The actual administering of the Juvederm Voluma can be completed within 30 minutes and involves an injection of the gel using small needles. The doctor will then massage the area that has been injected to ensure that the gel is evenly distributed. Patients are not restricted and can return to their normal daily activities upon completion of their treatment. Results can often be seen immediately.
