I am planning on getting spot IPL treatment on my nose, chin, and one spot on lower cheek (near chin). On the same day I'd like to get Voluma injected near upper cheek bones. I go to a medical spa headed by a certified doctor for the procedures, and I've been very pleased with their results before, I am posting this question to get additional insights from doctors and those that have had this done as doing both at same time is new for me. Any concerns? Special post-procedure tips? Thanks!

Answer: Can I get a spot IPL treatment and Voluma injections on the same day?
Hi there! I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Filler can take up to two weeks to fully settle. If you're still noticing unevenness after that time, I’d recommend following up with your provider for a consultation so they can take a look.
Yes, you have swelling, which can last 1-2 weeks after filler injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr.
I'm sorry to hear that you feel the results aren't holding up. It's important to realize that each 1cc of filler is 1/5th a teaspoon of product and every face (especially the cheeks) has different requirements on how much volume add. Some practices recommend a syringe of filler for the cheeks...
