Voluma is sold legally in the US by its manufacturer Allergan and through a physician's office. Counterfeit versions of the product are readily available online but may be dangerous and have permanent side effects. Patients should understand that Voluma should only be purchased and injected by an experienced injector through an experienced physician's office.
No you cannot buy Voluma online and take it to your doctor to inject. Allergan, the owners of Voluma ONLY sell directly to licensed physicians, so if you do find Voluma for sale online the product is likely fake and risky.
It is illegal to purchase prescription drugs such as Voluma without a medical license. Please do not try to cut corners financially when considering a cosmetic procedure; you are putting your safety at risk. No professional would agree to inject you with a substance that they did not source themselves. Fraudulent products are often sold on-line that are nearly exact copies. However, they may be another substance all together. This could be disastrous if injected into the face. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist to discuss the areas you would like to treat with Voluma and find out what your best options are.
Allergan, the maker of voluma, does not sell its product to patients, but only to licensed physicians. Even if you somehow manage to get Voluma, be weary.As a board-certified dermatologist, I take responsibility for my injections (as well as the injections of an experienced RN-injector). This means that I also take responsibility for the product that is injected. So, I would not be willing to inject a product if I did not know where it came from.I have seen bad results from counterfeit products, as well as poorly-injected products. Be cautious!
Absolutely Not. Injectibles are only sold to physicians trained in their use. You can not legally purchase any of them on-line. I would never inject a patient with any product they purchased in this fashion. Be wise and don't consider such a practice.
The answer is absolutely not. If you find any injectables online for sale, know that it is illegal. Only licensed physicians can receive and dispense this type of medication. I'll go a step further and say that any physician or injector that would agree to inject anything that they did not purchase and receive would be committing malpractice. Don't do it.
I don't think you will find any reputable practitioner who would consent to that. We receive emails and faxes every day from companies trying to sell us "discounted" neurotoxins and fillers. The risk of using these products is enormous--no idea how the product was made, quality control, etc. (Not to mention the legality of this as others have discussed below.) The risks of complications and infections are huge. The bottom line is you get what you pay for--Please--Don't risk this!!
It is probably a fake product and you don't know what you are actually getting. In addition you will have a hard time finding a reputable physician to inject this since they also won't know what it is. Don't try to save money when it comes to your face. You will only regret it.
Never. The administration of fillers is a highly technical procedure. There are so many factors to consider to determine if you are a good candidate for it, the best filler to use, the right amount, etc. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.
Voluma (and other fillers) can only be purchased by a licensed doctor. If you can buy it, it may very well not be the real product. It could be tainted and not only may not give results you want but could harm you! I would recommend never buying such a product and I would also be wary about any practitioner who might inject a product like that. Any savings you might get isn't worth the risk...
Thank you for your question. Voluma is a great product to provide more definition and lift to the cheeks. Every patient will have their own individual needs and the technique is extremely important to help maximize amount of lifting and shaping using the least amount of product. I conduct...
Voluma is indicated for deep injection in the cheek area to correct age-related volume loss. An extremely large amount would be needed to create a significant difference at the breasts and it actually can be lumpy if large amounts were to be injected into the breasts. It would also be very...
Voluma's approved indication is for deep injection into the malar area. Appropriate injection in this area will often help to adequately efface deep nasolabial folds in a very natural way.
Crepey-skin generally indicates that the skin is very thin. A soft HA filler (juvederm ultra or restylane silk) could be injected in a pinpoint, matrix-like fashion to give the skin more substance. However, the effects would not be very long-lasting.You may find the best results with a...
Since I have a satellite practice in Israel, where Voluma and blunt-tipped cannulas have been regulatory agency approved for many years already, in addition to my Upper East Side of Manhattan office, I have had the opportunity to be injecting Voluma routinely for many years. In my experience, it...
Thank you for your question. The cost varies depending on location and injector, It can typically range from $800 to $1,200. I would advise you to schedule a consult with an expert injector.
