Frequently Asked Question
How Much Does Voluma Cost?
The price of a Voluma treatment will vary greatly, based on the amount of product that is needed to achieve your cosmetic goals. Since Voluma can last as long as two years, you can concentrate on choosing an injector who is skilled and experienced with Voluma and you should not go anywhere that offers knock-off or extremely cheap fillers.
Before your first treatment, our injectors will assess your skin and understand your needs before developing your personal treatment plan. Then, she will estimate how much Voluma will be used for your session and costs.
What Is Hyaluronic Acid?
HA (hyaluronic acid) is a substance found naturally in your skin that binds water to cells. One of its functions is to secure moisture and build volume in the skin. Voluma, like other fillers in the Juvéderm family, is made with a synthetic hyaluronic acid. When the hyaluronic acid-based Voluma formula is injected, it restores volume to your cheeks and mid-face area. The HA in Voluma also improves your skin’s ability to retain moisture so it is healthier and softer.
How Long Will My Results Last?
Ideally, Voluma results can last for as long as two years. Right away, you should be able to see improvements from your treatment, which should continue to get better in the following month.
You might want multiple Voluma injections, particularly if you want to significantly increase the volume in your mid-face. In your initial consultation, your injector will create your personal Voluma plan and discuss when to schedule your next appointment to maintain your results.
