Answer: Voluma Is Beneficial Over 60 Thank you for your question. In general, there is no age limit to Voluma. Many women over 60 have been quite happy with the results when Voluma or other fillers are used to smooth out the nasolabial folds and other areas. However, individual outcome depends on the patient's anatomy and skin quality. That is why an in-person consultation – or at least a photo – is so important. We need to be able to evaluate skin laxity and volume depletion in other areas of the face. Depending on your needs, for instance, building up your cheekbones and temples with a combination of Sculptra and Voluma could provide enough of a lift to smooth out your nasolabial folds and would also create an overall rejuvenating effect. After evaluating your facial movement, your physician may choose new fillers such as Restylane Refyne or Defyne, which may be better for expression lines because of their flexibility. In fact, Voluma is the only filler FDA approved for the cheeks, rather than the parenthesis, so a combination of lifting with Voluma and filling the lines with Restylane Refyne may be optimal. My oldest patient is in her mid-90s and she feels she looks healthier and more vibrant with lifted cheeks and softened lines after Voluma. Looking good gives her energy and improves her self-esteem. This is why most patients choose to do fillers – for a refreshed, natural look. Using fillers at any age – but particularly in older people who probably have at least some degree of skin laxity and volume loss – is an art. It requires a good eye, an understanding of facial anatomy, and skillful injection technique. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has expertise in sculpting the face with Voluma.

Answer: Voluma Thank you for your question. Voluma is the first facial filler to be approved by the FDA for the non-surgical treatment of the cheeks. It adds volume to the cheeks and the mid-face, which can be beneficial for a 64 year-old because it temporarily corrects the drawn effect on the cheeks and mid-face which occurs as the body ages and collagen production slows. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

Answer: How beneficial is Voluma injected on a 64 year old woman? Thank you for sharing your question. In general as a person ages the loss of soft tissue and skeletal volume can be profound. Though you have managed your skin well there is little substitute for filler placement to make a person look more youthful. At 64 you can still expect excellent results with Voluma with an improvement in the undereye and smile line regions easily noticeable. Hope this helps.

Answer: Voluma and Aging--Add sculptra, radiofrequency, ultherapy It's difficult to answer this without a picture. However, Voluma can be beneficial for softening lines and rebuilding support. I often combine with with Sculptra to help rebuild collagen and radiofrequency or ultherapy for skin tightening and lift. See an expert in facial sculpting for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Voluma Thank you for your question cb112852. Voluma is a filler used to enhance the appearance of the face. It is difficult to make an assessment without photographs. However Voluma works well in patients of all ages. For more mature patients there is often times more volume loss and therefore more product may be required. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
