Does Voluma cause more sagging after it diminish in 18 - 24 months?

No. The Voluma doesn't "stretch" out your skin. In fact, HA fillers often stimulate collagen production. Just make sure that you see a very qualified injector as expertise plays a huge role in your results.

The product will gradually diminish over the 2 year period. It will not create more sagging, however the aging process does not stop, and you will continue to age as you would if the Voluma wasn't present.

The very short answer is no. In fact many hyaluronic acid fillers stimulate natural collagen production. Aging does continue, but there is not any stretching of your skin after facial fillers. Choose your injecting physician most carefully. Good luck and be well.

As the filler is gradually absorbed, the volume loss can be seen again, but there shouldn't be more sagging. Some patients tell me that they have a residual effect from the filler, even when it's suppose to be long gone.
Sagging with filler may occur if too much is injected in the mobile cheek compartment. Since it can move, the more filler you put in it, the heavier it gets.
Seek out an injector who will take the time for a full consultation about options that will help you. Safety is another priority of a good injector.

Once voluma is reabsorbed, the facial tissues tend to sag again because the prominent cheeks are not longer present. Sagging of the skin after voluma is gone (2 years after) might be worst. This is NOT because voluma caused that, it but because we kept aging (eg. patents when turn 41 year old look older than when they were 39 years old even when voluma is not used). Voluma does NOT prevent aging of the skin. Therefore, in order to prevent or correct sagging to the skin after voluma resorption, patients may need to treat with voluma again.

Thanks for the question. Voluma should not cause MORE sagging after it wears off. Typically, the HA fillers will stimulate some new collagen formation over time and therefore should continue to improve the wrinkles and volume loss over time. Often I see that my patients need less and less filler, and need it less frequently after a couple years of treatment. Hope this helps

Any minor injury to the skin can be said to create new collagen, and needles poking through the skin, lasers and others methods do this. So the real question becomes how much new collagen is created? Will it be enough to see a difference? Sculptra is the "big" collagen stimulator. Shortly after Sculptra started marketing Radiesse and Hyluronic acid fillers did "studies" so they could say they stimulate collagen too. Yes they do, but not anything anyone can see without a microscope.
