Voluma Dermal Filler Injection

Restylane Lyft Dermal Filler Injection

Cheeks Restored to Youthful Face Volume and Fullness

Spa 35 carries a large variety of dermal fillers for cheeks, temples, under eyes, lips and jawline/chin.

Popular fillers include:

• Restylane Lyft

• Juvederm Voluma

• Sculptra

• Belatero

• Juvederm Ultra

Facial aging is manifested by the loss of volume in the upper face and below the eyes, and an increase in volume in the lower face. Our cheeks are less pronounced, the eyes appear recessed and the nasolabial fold (the parenthesis around the mouth) becomes more pronounced. Our face takes on more of a square shape rather than the youthful inverted triangle.

Dermal fillers, such as Restylane Lyft, Juvederm Voluma and Sculptra can restore facial volume for a more youthful appearance.

Spa 35 typically recommends one syringe of dermal filler per decade of life. So someone in their 50s should plan on 4-6 syringes for maximum results.

Changes of the face with aging

Voluma XC from Allergan

VOLUMA® XC was the first injectable gel approved to replace this volume loss in the upper face. 

When we're young our "baby face" signals to the world our youth and inexperience. As we age the the collagen in our skin decreases in thickness and the fat in our face shrinks and moves downward.

VOLUMA® XC replaces that loss facial volume, helping to restore your youthful look and minimize the signs of aging, such as hollow eyes and shallow cheeks.

Photographs are used for illustrative and teaching examples only. Results vary by person. Limitations of sun exposure and good diet and exercise habits may positively influence your results.

VOLUMA® XC Frequently Asked Questions

How does VOLUMA® work?

As we age we lose volume in our face from decreased amounts of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and fat. This volume loss can make our faces look shallow and create hollow areas under the eyes. It may also increase the number and impact of skin wrinkles as the same volume of skin is covering a smaller volume of facial structure. Made from a synthetic version of hyaluronic acid, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC replaces the loss volume, and adds volume to areas of the face typically fuller in our youth. Replacing the lost volume can restore a more youthful appearance and improve the appearance of wrinkles.

Is VOLUMA® safe?

Yes, the FDA has reviewed and approved JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC injectable gel for use in the mid-face area. There are warnings for patients that have allergies to lidocaine. The FDA and Allergan have published a lot of documentation on the safety of  JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC. Allergan has published a fact sheet on JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC injectable gel that you can download with this link.
