Answer: Voluma and side effects Voluma is a fabulous injection but the most important aspect about getting a facial injection is the experience of the injector. I have been injecting for over 20 years and there truly is an art to injecting properly. Cannulas for Voluma are not part of the training. I am sorry for your experience but the good thing about Voluma is that it can be dissolved if the injections are done improperly. Please consult a board certified dermatologist with experience in Voluma and facial injections for the best cosmetic results.

Answer: Voluma reaction Voluma is a hyaluronic acid filler, just like Restylane® or Juvederm®, but special in that it has more memory, it holds its shape better, and lasts longer, but in a special place, the malar cheeks. But like all injectable fillers it still needs to be injected, and when ever you inject, whatever the choice of filler, there is that small but possible risk of bacteria and infection. Ask your doctor about the possibility of infection and whether you should consider a course of antibiotics. I would still encourage gentle message and “baby bottle warm” wet compresses to help reduce swelling and speed up healing as well.
