If you have been considering non-surgical cosmetic treatments to combat the signs of aging, you may have heard about injectable dermal fillers. These minimally-invasive treatments are performed to fill hollow places in the cheeks which result from fat and bone loss that occur as a natural part of the aging process. Voluma treatments effectively create a more youthful appearance by enhancing facial and cheek contours.
About Voluma
Voluma is an injectable gel form of hyaluronic acid that, when placed under the skin of your cheeks and jaw, can enhance facial contours and reduce the signs of aging. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring compound of the human body, so cosmetic treatments made with it are generally well received with little or no side effects.
How It Works
Small amounts of dermal filler will be placed under the skin, where it spreads out and gently lifts your skin. This creates natural looking facial contours by replacing tissue that was lost through the natural aging process.
Both incredibly safe and effective, Voluma has been approved by the FDA to fill hollows throughout the cheek area. There is little to no downtime after your procedure, and results can be expected to last up to two years.
Who Should Consider Voluma?
Anyone who is looking for a non-surgical treatment to rejuvenate the contours of their cheeks or jaw should consider Voluma dermal filler as a safe, effective option. Because it adapts to each individual’s skin to provide maximum results, Voluma is suitable for all skin types. The specially trained cosmetic surgeons and staff at Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery can help you decide if Voluma is a good choice for you.

The Procedure
Once you have made the decision to try Voluma, a cosmetic surgeon or nurse will carefully determine the best injection sites for your particular concerns and desired results. The entire procedure generally takes under 30 minutes and is performed in the office by a surgeon or trained nurse.
Topical anesthetic is applied to injection sites prior to each procedure to ensure your comfort during treatment. Ice and pressure will be applied to injection sites immediately following your treatment to encourage a quick recovery. You may even choose to return to your normal routine immediately after your appointment.
