Wrinkles and lines aren’t the only signs of aging. Over time, our faces start to lose volume, resulting in a flattened or sunken look. This is often referred to by medical professionals as “age-related volume loss.”
Derived from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring component of the human body, Voluma is both a safe and convenient way of turning back the clock. Hyaluronic acid has the powerful ability to retain water molecules, giving the skin intense hydration while aiding in skin elasticity for a firm texture and healthy glow. By replenishing hyaluronic acid, Volume can add volume back into the cheek area to redefine the facial contours and restore a more youthful appearance.
Patients seeking non-surgical solutions to enhance the contours of their face and address early signs of aging can benefit from Voluma. Voluma can improve the look of sagging cheeks and moderate to severe facial wrinkles caused by facial volume loss. This includes cheeks, chin wrinkles, and more. Voluma is also used to improve the look of temple hollowing to create a smoother contour between the cheeks and forehead.
Before Voluma injections, patients will schedule a consultation with Dr. Janiga or her associates to explain the treatment process in more detail and examine their medical history to make sure they are a good candidate. Most patients in overall good health with no active skin infections or wounds can safely receive Voluma injections. Before the procedure, we advise patients to avoid alcohol, aspirin, and certain herbal supplements and medications that cause blood thinning.
As a dermal filler, Juvéderm Voluma must be injected under the skin. While there is a mild amount of discomfort associated with the procedure, most of it is alleviated by the topical numbing medication applied for approximately 30 minutes before beginning the injections. Small amounts of lidocaine found in the Voluma formula will also keep patients comfortable.
Voluma appointment lengths may vary depending on the size and number of treatment areas. The entire numbing and injection process should last no longer than 60-90 minutes.
There is minimal downtime after Voluma injections. Mild bruising is normal and may last from three to seven days, depending on the size of the bruise and the individual’s healing rate. There will be some redness and swelling for two to three days. Mild discomfort may remain around the treated area for one to two days and can be relieved with over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses. Massaging the treatment area, picking, and strenuous exercise should be avoided during this time.
Patients will see the final results of their Voluma treatment in 1-2 weeks. Most patients can enjoy their results for up to two years before the filler is safely absorbed into the body.

Dr. Jennifer is the best! There are lots of options in this area when it comes to Botox and fillers and some people are better than others at projecting the outcome. She is very straight forward, tells you exactly how much she will be doing, what the results will be and at what cost. I have referred her to many of my friends all to their delight.
