How often should I get Voluma Filler?

Thank you for your question. Voluma can last up to 2 years; however, results vary from patient to patient. It would be beneficial to follow up with your injector around 18 months. I recommend you consult with a Board Certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.

What makes this injectable unique is its innovative vycross technology that was used to formulate Voluma, which allows it to provide more lift and last longer than any other dermal fillers – its benefits will be seen for up to two years following treatment. 

Depending on your metabolism, you may be able to have continued good results with Voluma for anywhere from one to two years. Your own desires, plus the guidance of your dermatologist, will let you know when it is time for another treatment. As you will probably opt to re-treat before all of the Voluma has dissolved, you may need less of it to maintain the same effect. Please be sure to consult with a board-certified dermatologist to learn about how to get the most out of your Voluma treatments.

Hi,Thanks so much for your question. With Voluma, as with other fillers, there can be a fair amount of individual variability in how long it will last. In general, Voluma can last up to 1-2 years. However, because it is gradually reducing over time, we typically re-treat at about 9-12 months for best results. Hope that helps!

Voluma lasts longer than other hyaluronic acid fillers. Clinically I have seen it start to deflate subtly around 6-9 months but patients are typically having more Voluma added to their face between 12 to 18 months. Very little remains after two years but I have seen its presence in some patients for more than two years, but certainly not with as much volume as was present initially.

Thank you for your question. The amount of filler utilized on the patient depends on the patient's aesthetic desires, health profile and the corresponding recommendation from the surgeon. You can explore these questions more in your consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

I have seen the product last up to two years in patients who had cheek augmentation with Voluma. You may need an injection before this time if you want to maintain a full cheek appearance. 

Voluma truly does last close to or over 2 years, if it is injected correctly.  Most of my patients need more at about 2 years, once they are adequately corrected.  If you don't get enough however, you will need to come back sooner to have more added, in order to have the best result.

Thank you for your question. In the original study at the 2 year mark 80% of the product remained. This being said, you will continue to have a loss of volume and collagen over that 2 year period as you continue to age. A touch-up may be beneficial at any point from the 6 month to 2 year mark to further replace lost volume and maintain a beautiful and youthful appearance. 

Voluma results can last up to two years, but most patients receive touch-ups between 12-18 months. For cheekbone fullness, I also use a combination approach of fat grafting and/or sculptra which will give more volumization than voluma.  Best, Dr. Emer.
