Voluma

When injected under your skin, the specially-formulated Voluma gel is thick enough to add fullness and volume, restoring a more youthful appearance. The hyaluronic acid creates a contoured, rejuvenated appearance that looks natural when injected by our medical spa at San Diego’s Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, including:

• Undefined or uneven jawline
• A recessed or less prominent chin
• Hollow temples
• Under eye bags or skin laxity
• Hollowed cheeks and under the eye hollows

Our board-certified dermatologists have been actively involved in research studies involving Voluma and other dermal fillers in San Diego for the last 30 years, giving us the most experience with injectables than any other practice in the country.

We understand how sunken or hollow cheeks can affect your appearance as well as your self-esteem.To learn more about how a dermal filler treatment can restore volume and contour to various areas of your face, schedule a consultation today at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology.

The procedure is excellent for on-the-go individuals, as it can be performed in as little as 15 minutes at our San Diego office. Our doctors can combine a variety of different injectables, such as Botox for forehead wrinkles and Volbella for fuller lips, for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation procedure known as a liquid facelift.

Following the procedure, you can return to your normal routine immediately, as the downtime for HA facial fillers and other injectables is minimal to non-existent.

Potential side effects of Voluma are usually mild and temporary and could include bruising, itching, redness or irritation, soreness, tenderness, and swelling. Sometimes, bumps or lumps may appear, but these and other effects generally subside over the course of a few days, if not sooner.

At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, we are committed to your safety and satisfaction. Depending on your concerns and goals, our skilled dermatologists and aestheticians will create a customized treatment plan, including other fillers, Botox, laser resurfacing, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), and more, to help you achieve a smoother, healthier, more youthful-looking appearance.

Treatment Guidelines

During your procedure:

• An assessment will be made by your physician to determine the type of product and
  the appropriate amount needed.
• Multiple injections will be administered to treated areas.
• The filler contains lidocaine, however, some physicians may decide to use a topical
  numbing agent or local anesthesia injections prior to filler injections.
• You may have a very small amount of pinpoint bleeding where the needle was
  inserted. This usually subsides in a few minutes.

After your procedure:

• You may use your regular skincare products and make-up.
• You can apply ice packs to ease tenderness and swelling.
• Do NOT manipulate, rub, massage, apply pressure, etc. to treated areas or lay face
  down after treatment.
• Immediately after the treatment you will experience swelling which can last 1 – 3 days. The
  above mentioned fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (which is a substance your body
  normally produces) and it attracts water to it which causes the swelling.
• You may feel lumps where the filler was injected. This is also swelling and they will
  subside in about 3 – 5 days and are usually not visible.
• You may get a bruise from the injections. If so, you are welcome to come into the office
  the following day and have the bruise(s) treated with a laser at no charge.
• You may also take Arnica pills before and/or after the treatment to decrease the risk of
  bruising and to help any bruises you have to subside faster. We have Arnica available
  for purchase.
• Results are immediate but due to the swelling, the expected end result can be seen
  between 7 – 10 days.
• Follow any additional specific post-treatment instructions from your physician.
• It is always a possibility that you may not get the desired result after one treatment.
  Additional treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal desired results.
• Follow up with your physician in ______ days/weeks, or as needed.

Voluma can also be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as IPL photofacial for uneven skin tone, laser resurfacing for rough skin texture and large pores, and Ultherapy for tightening loose skin on the neck and chin.
