How Does Voluma™ Compare to Similar Products?

Allergan, the makers of Voluma™, have developed a unique technology based on formulations that contain various sizes of hyaluronic acid molecules. Known as VYCROSS®, this technology contributes to the long-lasting results of Voluma™ treatments while also helping to minimize swelling. While this filler is designed to simulate the feel of bone, it is an ultra-smooth gel solution that provides a natural look and feel.

How Does Voluma™ Work?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that provides hydration and volume. As we age, the skin produces less hyaluronic acid, which can cause facial features to lose volume and definition. Voluma™ replenishes lost hyaluronic acid to restore hydration and volume, resulting in a smoother and more defined appearance in treated areas.

Can Voluma™ Be Used in Combination with Other Treatments?

Voluma™ can be combined with other treatments. Dr. Beam may recommend additional dermal fillers for other areas of the face, such as the lips, to enhance overall results and create a refreshed, youthful appearance.

Recovery After Voluma™

Some patients may experience localized symptoms after Voluma™ injections, including bruising, swelling, tenderness, and pinpoint bleeding. These effects typically resolve within one week. Applying cold compresses may help reduce discomfort.

How Much Does Voluma™ Cost in Connecticut?

The cost of Voluma™ treatments depends on the number of syringes required to achieve the desired results. Voluma™ is not typically covered by medical insurance. We offer flexible payment options and financing to help cover the cost of treatments and other cosmetic procedures.
