JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® in our Boston, MA Med Spa

In the 90s, lean, flat cheeks were a popular trend; however, modern beauty calls for voluminous cheeks that help you appear youthful and healthy. From the popular Juvéderm family of injectable dermal fillers, Voluma is uniquely made to add contour and lift to the mid-face for a natural, more youthful appearance. At DeRosa Clinic Facial Aesthetics in Boston, MA, we offer Voluma injections to address sunken cheeks, which have become hollow and flat because of age, weight loss, or genetics. Giving you results that last up to two years, Voluma is a dermal filler with hyaluronic acid (HA), which helps your face look smoother and feel softer. Schedule a consultation to learn about Juvéderm Voluma treatments and how they can refresh your appearance by increasing lift and fullness.

Voluma is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler that can help add lift and contour to your mid-face. Many patients notice decreased fullness of their cheeks when they age or if they have dropped a large amount of weight. Some patients may have a genetic predisposition for flat cheeks and want to enhance the plumpness with Voluma. To ensure your safety, nursing or pregnant women cannot receive Voluma treatments. Voluma is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients 21 and older. In your consultation, we will discuss your needs and medical history to decide if Voluma is an effective filler for you. Based on our discussion, we will create a unique treatment plan.

After your consultation, we can usually perform your treatment on the same day. In one of our minor procedure rooms, we will clean your cheeks before the Voluma injections. If desired, our doctors can also apply a local anesthetic to make the injections less painful. For accuracy, we will mark your face before administering the Voluma injections with a fine-gauge needle. After administering Voluma, you may notice some swelling and redness, but this should subside in a few days.

Generally, patients notice the effects of Voluma right away, and typically, the results last about two years. It is rare to experience lasting or severe reactions from Voluma injections; however, if you do have a reaction or concerns, please contact DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa for more information. The most common side effects include slight redness, irritation, or swelling. Usually, patients only have minor symptoms. During your consultation, ask your doctor about how soon to schedule your next treatment to either enhance or extend the effects of Voluma.

How much does Juvéderm VOLUMA cost?
Your cost for a VOLUMA treatment can vary depending on the amount of product that is required to achieve your cosmetic goals. Since VOLUMA can last as long as two years, you can focus on choosing an experienced injector and avoid anywhere that offers extremely cheap or knock-off injections. Before your first treatment, a team member will evaluate your mid-face and understand your goals before developing your treatment plan. After this, they will estimate the amount of VOLUMA that will be needed for your session and how much it will cost.

What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance that binds water to cells. Along with other functions, it can secure moisture and build volume in the skin. Like other JUVÉDERM fillers, VOLUMA's main ingredient is a synthetic hyaluronic acid. When the hyaluronic acid-based VOLUMA formula is injected into your skin, it restores contour to your cheeks and mid-face area. The HA in VOLUMA also improves your skin's ability to retain moisture — so it is softer and healthier.

How long do the results from VOLUMA last?
With optimal treatments, VOLUMA results can last for up to two years. Right away, you should be able to see improvements from your treatment, which will continue to get better over the next few weeks. You may need several VOLUMA injections, especially if you would like to build up large amounts of volume in your mid-face. In your consultation, your injector will develop your personal VOLUMA plan and discuss when to schedule your next appointment to maintain your results.

Can I exercise after my Juvéderm VOLUMA treatment?
It's recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours after your Juvéderm VOLUMA injections. This precaution helps to minimize swelling and bruising at the injection sites. Your injector will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your treatment area and when it's safe to resume different types of physical activities.

What should I do if I experience side effects after my treatment?
While side effects from Juvéderm VOLUMA are typically mild and resolve on their own, it's important to contact your injector if you experience any unusual symptoms or if common side effects like swelling, bruising, or redness persist beyond a week. Your injector will advise you on the best course of action and may provide additional care instructions to help manage any side effects effectively.
