Voluma Filler Injection Training For A Nonsurgical Facelift

Full cheeks are a sign of youth. As we age, we lose that volume, and our cheeks begin to flatten, causing the skin in the cheek area to fall slightly. As we hit middle age, that loss of facial fat and collagen tends to give the cheeks a hollowed, drawn or tired appearance. The reason so many clients worry about the cheek area is that apple-like cheeks give a youthful appearance, so if your clients are looking to restore lost volume in their cheeks, Voluma is one of many amazing dermal filler treatment options.

What is Voluma?

Approved by the FDA in 2013, Voluma is a type of dermal filler from the makers of Juvederm and Botox — the first filler to claim it can temporarily correct age-related volume loss in the cheeks for adults over 21. Voluma contains hyaluronic acid, which helps restore age-related volume loss in the cheeks and cheekbones, temporarily reversing the effects of aging by providing a tighter, younger appearance wherever it’s administered.

While most dermal fillers are injected into areas like the nasolabial folds, Voluma goes deeper, administered to the top of the cheekbones so physicians can reverse signs of aging by lifting the face. Unlike other fillers, Voluma is designed to build upward for lift and volume rather than simply plumping the injection site, leaving clients looking rested and youthful without the appearance of cheek implants. The benefits are outstanding: Voluma is non-invasive, results are instant, smooth, and natural-looking, and it can take years off a client’s appearance.

Who Can Benefit From Voluma?

Voluma injections are in high demand because they are a much cheaper, faster and less invasive alternative to plastic surgery not to mention an ideal out-of-pocket cosmetic treatment for clients across several age groups:

• Clients in their 20s with poorly defined cheekbones
• Clients in their 30s and 40s with noticeable volume loss who want understated rejuvenation
• Clients in their 50s, 60s and beyond who want a more youthful look but have concerns about plastic surgery

Voluma’s consistency is thicker and more viscous than Juvederm, making it a perfect filler for the cheeks, and an experienced injector can gently mold it once injected to achieve the most natural-looking result. Clients don’t need to worry about “pillow face” (overly plumped cheeks from too much filler), since Voluma is made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. It adds a subtle, non-surgical lift to the cheeks that leaves patients looking instantly refreshed, not puffy; and while it isn’t injected directly into the nasolabial folds, adding volume to the cheeks lifts the lower face too, giving a more youthful overall appearance. Because of its viscosity, Voluma also lasts longer than many other fillers — up to two years.

Voluma Injection Technique: How Does It Work?

A topical numbing agent is applied to the skin for approximately 15 minutes before treatment. The cosmetic injector then makes a few marks on the face to guide symmetry and note the areas where blood vessels are located, before administering the Voluma injections. Most patients need just one to two syringes to achieve their desired results.

Growing Demand For Soft Tissue Fillers

If you need more proof of the demand for treatments like Voluma, consider this: in a recent year alone, there were more than 2.3 million soft tissue filler cosmetic injections performed in the U.S., and that number continues to climb rapidly. Voluma injections are quickly becoming one of the most requested treatments among clients looking for a subtle, non-surgical way to restore a youthful facial contour.
