How is Juvederm Voluma Injected?

It is normal to be nervous before the procedure, but we are here to reassure you. First, your doctor will administer anesthesia to make you feel comfortable. After waiting 15-20 minutes, your doctor will mark specific areas on your face where the filler should be placed. Your doctor will inject Juvederm Voluma into the deeper layers of your skin, just above the bone. Several injection methods are available: fan, tunnel, or sequential needle insertion. Sometimes your doctor will use a layered approach.

How Does Juvederm Voluma Work?

Voluma is a hyaluronic acid filler that works by replacing lost volume and providing structural support to the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in the body that attracts and retains water, providing cushioning and elasticity to the skin. Voluma uses Vycross technology to cross-link the HA molecules. This makes the gel denser and more effective at adding volume to the cheeks and mid-face. When injected, the filler adds subtle volume to the skin, hydrating and plumping the treated areas. The gel attracts water, which helps hydrate the skin and maintain a natural, lifted appearance. Due to its advanced technology, Voluma is more resistant to degradation, allowing the effect to last longer than other fillers.
