I had one treatment of Sculptra. It was ok, I need another one or 2 treatments. However I found out about Voluma. My doctor said it would work well for my needs as I only need a small area done in my cheek. I found a Voluma dr. specialzing in the injection in NJ ... should I try Voluma instead of Sculptra?
Answer: Voluma and sculptra serve different purposes Voluma lifts the cheek. That lift softens jowls and nasolabial folds, resulting in an upward rebalancing of the face. It has an immediate effect, and it lasts for ~2 years.I find that those with thinner faces actually look more hollow with voluma, since voluma builds up the cheeks, thereby accentuating hollow temples and submalar areas.Sculptra can also rebuild the cheek, but it is also useful for filling in hollow temples and submalar hollows, as well as recreating the jawline.I often recommend combining sculptra and voluma in my thinner clients. They get the immediate lift of the cheek, while rebuilding the periphery of the face.

Answer: Voluma vs Sculptra Voluma and Sculptra work differently. Voluma is a hyaluronic acid based filler that works immediately and maintains its effects for up to 2 years. Voluma works well for lifting the cheeks and adding volume to certain areas of the face. In my opinion, it can be used a little more precisely to augment specific areas than Sculptra. Sculptra is made of Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) and relies on the body to respond to the product and create its own collagen in response. This process takes time, and Sculptra is usually injected over a series of treatments, with each treatment session typically about 4-6 weeks after the last. Sculptra is great for adding volume over time and can also produce long-lasting results, but I find that it works better in younger patients. It also is not great for someone who wants to see immediate results. Sculptra requires patience. Overall, both are great options, but for a patient who has started a series of treatments with Sculptra, I usually recommend staying with Sculptra through the series and then being patient to see the results. All the best,

Answer: Sculptra v Voluma Sculptra is a process rather than a one time filler. Sculptra will stimulate collagen in a series of treatments to give volume to the face. Voluma is more of a traditional filler where volume is added in a simple treatment lasting up to 2 years.

Answer: Voluma vs. Sculptra Voluma works as a buttressing agent to replenish structural support to areas like the cheeks. Sculptra produces a collagen stimulation response in the skin. Sculptra takes time to work with your body to produce a visible result. Experienced injectors understand that every patient is different and oftentimes will pair more than one injectable product to meet the patient's needs and accomplish global facial rejuvenation. It's best that you communicate your desired end result to your injector and ask to see a portfolio of their work. I also strongly suggest following your injector's post-care instructions and keeping all of your follow up appointments.

Answer: There are major differences between Voluma and Sculptra when filling facial volume and some patients can have both Voluma , as a one treatment filler, can last up to two years and is a more effective deep plane lifter than Sculptra. Its results are immediate. The temples and upper cheek respond best to Voluma. Sculptra usually requires three treatments done every six weeks or so. It may last up to two years. It is best used to help revolumize the mid plane of the depth of tissues of the face and works well in the lower cheeks. Voluma can be injected conservatively in the lower face and is reversible, unlike Sculptra. Some patients have one filler such as Voluma, Juvederm or Restylane injected in one location and Sculptra injected in other facial areas that deserve its benefits.

Answer: Both are great! Hello, Voluma and Sculptra are both very good treatments, but very different. Sculptra provides a more gentle fullness, it takes 2 months to see full results and it grows your own collagen. Voluma is a Hyaluronic Acid product and it can provide a more targeted treatment. Many doctors will use both products for a complete fill. While Sculptra will give you more of an overall lift, Voluma will give more of a precise lift in the lateral cheek area. It's best to consult with your doctor to make sure you are getting exactly what you need, to achieve what you want. Good luck!
