Juvéderm® Voluma®
Volume returned. Still entirely you.
With time, the face loses volume in the places that once gave it shape: the cheeks soften, the temples hollow, the chin recedes. Juvéderm® Voluma® brings that structure back, so you look like yourself, only more lifted and defined. Your doctor places the filler, and knows when to stop.

How it works: a smooth gel that holds its shape
Juvéderm® Voluma® is a gel of cross-linked hyaluronic acid, made with VYCROSS® technology. Your body makes hyaluronic acid too. It draws in water and gives skin its structure and volume.
Placed beneath the skin, the gel stands in for what has been lost and restores shape and projection. But before adding anything, your doctor studies where the volume has gone, weighing your cheeks against your chin and temples. The aim is balance, not simply more.
Where it can be used
Cheeks, Cheekbones, Midface, Chin, Temples
What to expect
- Straight away
You leave with the volume already in place.
- Day 1 to 7
Tenderness, redness, firmness or bruising can last several days. Swelling may make the area look fuller at first.
- One to two weeks
Swelling settles. Your doctor reviews the result and considers any adjustment. One session is usually enough.
- Longer term
With optimal treatment, Voluma® lasts up to two years in the cheeks, a year in the chin and 13 months in the temples. Results vary from face to face.
Your visit, step by step
Before

- Mention any filler already in the area, temporary or not, and any botulinum toxin or filler in the last four months
- Keep taking prescribed medication unless the doctor who prescribed it says otherwise
- Skip alcohol the day before. Fish oil and hard exercise can add to bruising too
- Avoid booking close to dental work, vaccinations, laser treatment or chemical peels
- Arrive with clean skin and little makeup on the area
The day
Your doctor cleans and marks each area, then places the gel with a fine needle or cannula. You feel brief pressure or mild discomfort, and walk out with the volume already in place.
