Making the case for Voluma at Chicago’s Plastic Surgery Clinics
For many years, both men and women have been turning to dermal fillers and other injectable products in hopes reducing wrinkles, smoothing skin texture, and erasing the signs of aging. There are so many products available; sometimes it is hard to sort through them. Voluma is being touted as the next big game changer in dermal fillers, but what exactly is it?
What is Voluma?
Despite being new to the US market, Voluma is not a new product. It has been available in European companies since 2005 and was only recently FDA approved in the USA. Since receiving approvals, the product has received rave reviews and continues to steadily grow in popularity. Voluma is comprised of hyaluronic acid and, to date, remains the only filler that instantly adds volume to the cheek area of the face to have received FDA approval.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in every living mammal. As people age, much like collagen does, the body begins to lose hyaluronic acid and the skin begins to become less taut.
What makes Voluma so revolutionary?
Voluma differs significantly from other fillers because it targets previously untouched areas. Unlike traditional dermal fillers and injectables that target areas of the face like under the eye, the forehead and the corners of the mouth, Voluma has been approved for use in larger areas of the face like the cheeks and the mid-face region. This product leverages next generation technology, known as Vycross. Vycross exists to make the filler smoother to help create a more natural look.
Who are the best candidates for this procedure?
While anyone over the age of 18 can obtain the procedure, there are a few recommendations as to who the best candidates might be. They are:
* Anyone who has experienced significant volume loss due to age
* Candidates over the age of 30
* Anyone looking for a more supple facial appearance
The actual procedure is non-invasive. The administrator will utilize a small needle. A local numbing agent may be used twenty minutes prior to application and ice may be applied afterwards to limit swelling and bruising. Voluma is said to last eighteen or more months, which is about twice as long as other fillers. To check out what Voluma in Chicago can offer, visit a clinic near you.
