Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Voluma has been approved to last up to two years with optimal treatment. Treatment can be repeated as necessary.
What Results Will I See?

Is There Any Downtime Associated with the Procedure?
The procedure is very quick and easy. Prior to filler injections, a numbing cream is applied to the site. Some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection site that lasts anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Cold compresses can be applied post treatment to reduce any potential side-effects. Camouflage makeup may also be used and most patients can return immediately to work and resume normal activities. We recommend that patients avoid aspirin, vitamin E supplements and alcohol for three days prior to any injectable procedure to minimize the risk of bruising. We will discuss your medical history at your office visit to rule out any contraindications to this product.
What Treatments/Procedures Can Be Combined with Vollure?
Filler helps with restoring volume to areas, but sometimes additional treatment like Botox® or Dysport® may be needed to help soften some excess muscle contractions which result in the formation of lines. Treatments to help the epidermis and general skin health are DermaSweep, chemical peels, laser resurfacing and a customized topical regimen. The combination of these therapies can be very satisfying to effectively treat signs of aging from various angles.
