JUVÉDERM VOLUMA
A NATIONAL LEADER IN SKIN CARE
Whether you’re looking for plumper, more youthful-looking cheeks, more defined cheek bones or a stronger chin, you may be interested in Juvéderm Voluma. This treatment, the latest in the Juvéderm line of dermal fillers, uses a hyaluronic acid filler that acts to restore the skin’s volume in the cheeks, cheek bones, chin, jawline and temples. The result is a face restored from a sagging or hollowing state to a more youthful buoyancy and contour — with these effects lasting for up to two years.
What A Juvéderm Voluma Treatment Can Accomplish
Juvéderm Voluma addresses volume and elastin loss in the mid-face region. It uses an injectable gel that acts as a filler to restore volume to areas most affected by age, such as sagging cheeks, a sagging jawline and jowls. Juvéderm Voluma is the perfect solution for plumping up the mid-face when it has been hollowed out due to the effects of aging or significant weight loss.
Benefits Of Juvéderm Voluma
Juvéderm Voluma is a safe, non-surgical alternative to a facelift. And unlike other dermal fillers, Juvéderm Voluma is injected in the deeper, subcutis layers and fat pads of the face, which causes its longer-term effect. The result of Juvéderm Voluma treatment is a natural-looking, soft plumping effect that mimics youth by filling out hollowed-out portions of the mid-face, including the cheeks and chin. Skin that was previously hanging loosely, such as that appearing in the jowls, is now firmer and no longer casts dark shadows on the rest of the face, resulting in a brighter, replenished-looking face.
AM I A Good Candidate For Juvéderm Voluma?
A person is considered a good candidate for Juvéderm Voluma treatment if he or she:
- Is in a general state of good health
- Has noticeable loss of volume in the chin or jawline
- Has sunken or sagging cheeks
- Has the presence or beginnings of jowls
Juvéderm Voluma Treatment Details
A Juvéderm Voluma treatment consists of a series of injections that take about 15 minutes. The doctor will use a syringe to inject the Juvéderm Voluma gel formula into deep layers of the skin’s surface. Because the gel itself contains a local anesthetic, the procedure causes minimal discomfort and therefore no general anesthesia is needed. The results of the treatment will be visible right away.
Recovery
There is little to no downtime after a Juvéderm Voluma treatment, and most patients can immediately return to normal daily activities afterwards. The patient may be advised not to wear makeup for the first 12 hours after treatment, and to avoid the sun as well as saunas and steam rooms for up to two weeks after treatment. It is also recommended that the patient avoid any other treatments in the treated area for up to seven days afterwards.
Voluma Side Effects
There are typically no side effects that occur from Juvéderm Voluma treatment, though a small number of patients have reported experiencing redness, discomfort, tenderness, swelling, bruising, itching or the formation of lumps at the injection site. These side effects are rare and typically subside within a week of treatment.
Juvéderm Voluma FAQs
How long does Juvéderm Voluma last in the mid-face area?
Juvéderm Voluma is known for its long-lasting results, especially in the mid-face or cheek area. Most patients enjoy visible volume enhancement for between 18 and 24 months after their initial treatment. Individual longevity varies based on metabolism, skin condition, and lifestyle habits such as sun exposure or smoking.
What should I avoid before getting Juvéderm Voluma injections?
To minimize bruising and swelling, avoid blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen), vitamin E, fish oil, and alcohol for at least 24–48 hours before your appointment. It’s also best to avoid strenuous exercise on the day of treatment. If you have a history of cold sores, let Dr. Krau know in advance.
Can Juvéderm Voluma be combined with other fillers or Botox?
Yes. Juvéderm Voluma can be safely and effectively combined with other treatments such as Juvéderm XC for fine lines or Botox for dynamic wrinkles. Combining treatments can offer more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, especially when customized to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Is there an age limit for receiving Juvéderm Voluma treatments?
There is no specific age limit. Many patients begin Voluma treatments in their 30s to address early volume loss, but it is also effective for older patients experiencing mid-face flattening due to age. As long as you are in good health and have realistic expectations, Voluma may be appropriate.
What is the cost of Juvéderm Voluma treatment in Miami?
The cost of Juvéderm Voluma depends on the amount of product used and the number of areas treated. Dr. Krau’s team will provide a personalized quote based on your treatment plan during your consultation.
How often should I schedule follow-up treatments to maintain results?
To maintain optimal volume and contour, most patients schedule touch-up treatments once every one to two years. Some patients choose minor enhancements sooner, especially if they have high metabolisms or prefer a consistently refreshed appearance.
How does Voluma compare to other fillers?
Voluma is specifically designed to restore volume in the mid-face, offering deep lift and contour with a firmer, more structured gel.
- Juvéderm XC targets superficial lines and wrinkles.
- Restylane Lyft offers similar volume correction but may not last as long.
- Radiesse uses calcium-based microspheres and is more commonly used in the lower face and hands.
Voluma’s smooth, cohesive texture and long duration make it a preferred choice for cheek enhancement.
Is Juvéderm Voluma appropriate for male patients?
Yes. Men often seek subtle, masculine enhancement (such as stronger cheekbones or restored definition) without looking overfilled. Dr. Krau tailors his approach using lower injection volumes, strategic placement, and an understanding of male facial anatomy to maintain natural, masculine proportions.
What factors affect Juvéderm Voluma’s longevity?
Factors that may shorten or extend your dermal filler results include:
- Metabolism: Faster metabolism may reduce filler lifespan
- Injection Technique: Deep injections typically last longer
- Facial Activity: Frequent expressions or athletic activity may impact duration
- Skincare and Sun Protection: UV exposure and dehydration can accelerate aging, hence affecting your results
