I have heard that hyaluronic fillers help skin quality because they stimulate collagen. However, if done correctly in the cheeks, Voluma is injected at the level of the periosteum, so it seems it would be below the muscle layer and placed too deeply to even affect the dermis. Can it have any helpful effect on the skin?
Answer: Voluma for Collagen--Try Sculptra, fillers, toxins, skin care Voluma may stimulate a small volume of collagen, but it is mainly used to create temporary volume in areas of treatment. Sculptra is a great product for collagen building, but results build over time. For best results, I recommend using it in a combination depending on desired results. I combine Sculptra with other fillers, lasers, toxins and skin care to give immediate results. Cost will vary. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Does Voluma Stimulate Collagen? Voluma Plumps Up Skin, Not Collagen Voluma XC is injected into the subcutaneous tissue directly beneath the dermis to add volume and support. Subcutaneous tissue is the last layer of the skin. While Voluma doesn’t directly affect the surface of the skin (epidermis), it does improve its look by creating a stronger support. Voluma is not a significant collagen stimulator. If you’d like to stimulate more collagen, you can use lasers and/or Sculptra. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who can offer you many different methods of getting the rejuvenation you desire.

Answer: Does Voluma stimulate collagen? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Though some dermal fillers like Sculptra and Bellafill do create increased collagen formation the hyaluronic acid fillers do not work in this fashion. HA fillers augment soft tissues directly through their gel placement and their only improvement in skin collagen would be the through the injection sites used to deliver the material. Hope this helps.

Answer: HA fillers don't stimulate collagen production. JUVÉDERM Voluma® and other HA fillers are intended to work by directly adding volume, while other fillers (most notably Sculptra®) are intended to work by promoting collagen production that then augments the filler. For this reason, JUVÉDERM is ideal for those who want to see results faster, and Sculptra typically is better for those who don't mind waiting for longer-lasting results.

Answer: Voluma Thank you for your question. Voluma is a hyaluronic acid which is a moisturizer found naturally in your body and works by replenishing the natural moisture in your skin restoring structure, volume and softer contours to the face. It does not stimulate collagen. Dermal fillers like Sculptra causes your body to produce its own filler. Sculptra is a purified treatment of poly-L-lactic acid. When injected in the face, it stimulates your body to produce additional collagen, which will fill in the desired areas. Your body will begin producing collagen after a few weeks. For more information, it is best to get a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.
