With Voluma what can happen if I do not wait the 24 hours before exercise?

Question

I am a Zumba Dance Fitness instructor and I have to teach after only 19 hours of being injected. Can the filler move or become displaced?

Sabrina Fabi, MD · Answer

Voluma shouldn’t move or be displaced by aerobic exercise — particularly not almost a day after treatment. It’s not easily displaced. The 24-hour warning is a better-safe-than-sorry recommendation, but is not based on hard science or vast (if any)  experience. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist for your Voluma rejuvenation will get you the best results.

Hi mrseternaldancer. I would encourage you to wait the 24 hours after any filler including Voluma injections. Exercise increases the heart rate which could lead to bruising.  If you cannot avoid this because of your job, I would recommend you take something like Arnica Montana capsules prior to your injection to help decrease the risk of bruising.
  
Thanks and best of luck,

Thank you for sharing your question.  After 19 hours you should be fine to teach Zumba as the risk of early activity is an increase in tissue swelling and possibly bruising.  It would be very difficult for the filler to move or become displaced.  Hope this helps.

In my opinion, it would be fine to exercise less than 24 hours after a Voluma treatment.  I do not believe that exercise would cause the filler to move or affect your results in any way.

Hi and thank you for your question! While we generally recommend patients to allow 24 hours following any filler treatments and avoid strenuous exercise in that period, there is really no hard science on that and you should be fine. Just make sure to stay well hydrated. Movement of filler is extremely rare and shouldn't happen with normal body movements. I hope it helps and good luck!
