I had one treatment of Sculptra. It was ok, I need another one or 2 treatments. However I found out about Voluma. My doctor said it would work well for my needs as I only need a small area done in my cheek. I found a Voluma dr. specialzing in the injection in NJ ... should I try Voluma instead of Sculptra?
Answer: Voluma and sculptra serve different purposes Voluma lifts the cheek. That lift softens jowls and nasolabial folds, resulting in an upward rebalancing of the face. It has an immediate effect, and it lasts for ~2 years.I find that those with thinner faces actually look more hollow with voluma, since voluma builds up the cheeks, thereby accentuating hollow temples and submalar areas.Sculptra can also rebuild the cheek, but it is also useful for filling in hollow temples and submalar hollows, as well as recreating the jawline.I often recommend combining sculptra and voluma in my thinner clients. They get the immediate lift of the cheek, while rebuilding the periphery of the face.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Voluma vs. Sculptra: which one is more effective at lifting the cheeks? Both Voluma and Sculptra are injectable dermal fillers used to add volume and lift to the cheeks, but they work in slightly different ways and have different properties. Here's a comparison:1. Voluma: Voluma is a hyaluronic acid filler specifically designed to add volume and lift to the cheeks. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain moisture and volume in the skin. Voluma provides immediate volume and lift upon injection and can last up to 2 years or more. It's known for its ability to create a subtle, natural-looking lift in the cheeks.2. Sculptra: Sculptra, on the other hand, is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic biocompatible material that stimulates the body's own collagen production. Rather than providing immediate results like Voluma, Sculptra works gradually over time to stimulate collagen production, which helps restore volume and improve skin elasticity. Multiple sessions of Sculptra injections are usually needed to achieve the desired results, and the effects can last up to 2 years or more.In terms of effectiveness at lifting the cheeks, both Voluma and Sculptra can produce significant and long-lasting results. However, the choice between the two may depend on factors such as your specific anatomy, aesthetic goals, and preferences, as well as the recommendations of your injector.It's essential to consult with a skilled and experienced injector who can assess your individual needs and provide recommendations based on your unique situation. They can help determine which filler is best suited to achieve your desired outcome for cheek augmentation.

Answer: Voluma vs Sculptra Voluma and Sculptra work differently. Voluma is a hyaluronic acid based filler that works immediately and maintains its effects for up to 2 years. Voluma works well for lifting the cheeks and adding volume to certain areas of the face. In my opinion, it can be used a little more precisely to augment specific areas than Sculptra. Sculptra is made of Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) and relies on the body to respond to the product and create its own collagen in response. This process takes time, and Sculptra is usually injected over a series of treatments, with each treatment session typically about 4-6 weeks after the last. Sculptra is great for adding volume over time and can also produce long-lasting results, but I find that it works better in younger patients. It also is not great for someone who wants to see immediate results. Sculptra requires patience. Overall, both are great options, but for a patient who has started a series of treatments with Sculptra, I usually recommend staying with Sculptra through the series and then being patient to see the results. All the best,

Answer: Sculptra v Voluma Sculptra is a process rather than a one time filler. Sculptra will stimulate collagen in a series of treatments to give volume to the face. Voluma is more of a traditional filler where volume is added in a simple treatment lasting up to 2 years.

Answer: Voluma vs. Sculptra Voluma works as a buttressing agent to replenish structural support to areas like the cheeks. Sculptra produces a collagen stimulation response in the skin. Sculptra takes time to work with your body to produce a visible result. Experienced injectors understand that every patient is different and oftentimes will pair more than one injectable product to meet the patient's needs and accomplish global facial rejuvenation. It's best that you communicate your desired end result to your injector and ask to see a portfolio of their work. I also strongly suggest following your injector's post-care instructions and keeping all of your follow up appointments.

Answer: There are major differences between Voluma and Sculptra when filling facial volume and some patients can have both Voluma , as a one treatment filler, can last up to two years and is a more effective deep plane lifter than Sculptra. Its results are immediate. The temples and upper cheek respond best to Voluma. Sculptra usually requires three treatments done every six weeks or so. It may last up to two years. It is best used to help revolumize the mid plane of the depth of tissues of the face and works well in the lower cheeks. Voluma can be injected conservatively in the lower face and is reversible, unlike Sculptra. Some patients have one filler such as Voluma, Juvederm or Restylane injected in one location and Sculptra injected in other facial areas that deserve its benefits.
