VOLUMA Treatment in Scottsdale and Phoenix

Loss of volume in the face is a natural part of growing older. This natural loss of volume often leads to the first signs of aging, allowing fine lines and creases to appear on the face. Loss of volume in the cheeks especially ages the face dramatically. Dermal fillers offer a quick and nonsurgical tool for physicians and dermatologists to reverse the visible affects of aging—often in less than 30 minutes!

Voluma is the shining new star of dermal fillers. Recently approved by the FDA, Voluma is the only dermal filler on the market approved to increase volume lost in the cheeks due to aging. Loss of volume in the cheek area leads to gauntness and a tired appearance. With the help of Voluma, cheeks return to full volume maintaining the fresh apple cheeks of youth. Dr. Henderson of New Image Plastic Surgery is pleased to offer this innovative facial treatment at her Scottsdale office which also serves many patients from Phoenix.

Voluma is similar to other fillers like Juvederm and Restylane that rely on hyaluronic acid to help plump and fill wrinkles. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring sugar that creates the full looking appearance in the face associated with youth. Where other dermal fillers merely fill out wrinkles, Voluma is the only dermal filler created with restoration of facial volume in mind. Our Hyralonic acid levels naturally decline with age, but also can fluctuate due to exposure to the sun, cigarette smoke, or weight loss. Voluma uses unique VYCROSS™ technology that produces remarkable results that offer increased lift in the cheeks and extended results—the benefits of Voluma injections may last up to two years!

Voluma is an excellent complement to any anti-aging regimen including chemical peels, Botox and vitamin rich moisturizers. Voluma uniquely addresses the loss of facial volume due to aging or weight loss. Often we feel the need to sacrifice facial fullness when striving to achieve a goal weight. Weight loss as we age can create an unwanted gauntness or slack look. Voluma treatment allows us to achieve fit and firm bodies through healthy weight loss and exercise while maintaining a desirable facial fullness.

Like most other injectable facial treatments, Voluma does carry some minor side effects including tenderness, swelling, lumps, bumps and the potential for minor bruising. Voluma contains its own anesthetic, creating pain-free administration. Most patients experience few side effects and most tenderness and bruising resolves itself within a few days of the treatment. If you have concerns about irritation or any other side effects, consult with your physician prior to the procedure.
