I have been told 9 months, 12 months and 18 months by different doctors. I know that it is supposed to last up to 24 months, but I want to know doctors' actual experiences from working with this product. I am hoping that it breaks down sooner rather than later. I have decided against hyaluronidase.

Answer: Voluma Duration Hello Rose,Thank you for your question. Studies done for Voluma stated that in 2/3 of patients, the product lasted 2 years or more. With that being said, the average injected during the study was 6.8mL, which is basically 7 syringes. Depending on the person's lifestyle (activity, length of time in the sun, hydration and diet), I have seen the product dissipate faster. Most likely, you are looking at around 12 months for there to be a visible difference in the amount of product remaining. Hope this helps.All the best,Carlos Mata, MD, MBA.

Answer: Voluma results Part of the confusion is how it is used. Any filler injected superficially in a highly mobile area does not last as long as a less mobile area and deep injection. Voluma used deep along the bone in a non mobile area like the cheeks should last at least 2 years.
