How long does it take for the full effects of Voluma XC injections to take effect?

Thank you for your question. You will want to wait 2 weeks to assess the final result. Swelling is a common side effect of injections and can last approx. 2 weeks. If after 2 weeks you think you would like additional product, schedule a follow up with your injector. Best,

Thank you for your question and your photos.  You are early in your post procedure course. Usually the patient sees the start of the neuromodulators, (Botox Dysport, Xeomin), working at day 4.  The fillers usually see some result early, but some modulation continues.  In our office we have patients come back at 2 weeks for their check on their neuromodulator or filler.  At that point, most of the swelling is usually down, and we have an idea of the result.  This may be delayed if the patient has a bruise.  Often, asymmetry can be improved.  Please make sure your well trained, experienced injector knows your current status.Jeffrey J.

The results from Voluma can be seen immediately.  Often times patients will notice some swelling initially which can take a few days to reduce.  Most patients wait a few weeks before additional injections.

one of the great things about voluma is the instant results.  I typically take pictures of my patients before and right after injections so together we can go to my office and asses the results.  It is nothing short of amazing.  Over the next week or so some bruising and swelling can develop but it ususally goes back to that initial immediate appearance after injecting.  

Hello, 

Voluma provides instant results, however it may take a week for the swelling to subside and for everything to settle. Good luck!

Voluma provides patients with immediate results. It is not like Botox, which takes a week or two for you to see the final results. However, you may experience some swelling after your Voluma injections which can last 7 - 10 days. So around that point when all of your swelling has resolved you will see the final results of your Voluma treatment. I recommend you wait a few more weeks to get used to the results and if you still think you need more, then go back to your injector for a touch up. Good luck!
