Voluma is part of the Juvederm family of injectable fillers that shape and contour areas of the face, restoring youth and volume. However, Voluma is specifically designed to plump and lift the contours of the cheeks. Like Juvederm, Voluma’s active component is hyaluronic acid, that when injected into the skin, restores youth and volume.

Naturally contained in our bodies, hyaluronic acid helps keep our skin and tissues hydrated. With your Voluma injections at Simply Injectables Providence, we are simply replacing the moisture and volume that naturally declines through the aging process, from hereditary conditions, due to recent weight loss or because of lifestyle choices (remember tanning beds?).

Voluma was approved by the FDA in 2013 and five years before then was used in Europe and Brazil. Please see the Allergan website for a full list of side effects and further information regarding this product.

How is Voluma different from Juvederm?

Voluma is part of the Juvederm family and a product of Allergan Inc. Both Voluma and Juvederm are unlike synthetic fillers, and are derived from hyaluronic acid with amazing, long-lasting results. But Voluma is designed specifically to be injected into the cheek area to provide volume and more pronounced cheekbones, thus the name.

When is Voluma right for you?

Rhode Island Voluma injections are an option for anyone who wants to look younger, but if you have noticed your cheeks taking on a hollower appearance or your face shape changing, you are experiencing a major contributor to the aging process.

As we age, we naturally lose the plump, youthful roundness in our cheeks. Why does this happen? Over time, our fat stores diminish, and our bodies produce less hyaluronic acid. Even our facial bone structure changes.

These changes distort what is called the triangle of youth: in a youthful face, more of the volume is in the upper two-thirds of the face than in the lower portion. As we age, the volume shifts to the lower part of the face, turning the triangle upside down, giving people an appearance more like that of a bulldog.

We all want to look young – sometimes we need a little help in the process. Filling the cheeks with Voluma and restoring the volume lost to the upper portion of the face is an excellent way to reduce the appearance of aging. As an added benefit, it can also lift loose skin in the lower portion of the face. The nasal labial folds – the lines that run from the outside of the nostrils to the outside of your mouth, and marionette lines – the folds that start at the corners of the mouth and go downward from there, are also reduced.

What to expect from your Rhode Island Voluma appointment 

After making an appointment with our office in Providence, please read the before- and after-care instructions page to alleviate pain and possible side effects found with all injections.

Once in the office, you will be given a thorough consultation, where we will discuss any questions, concerns, and your desired results. After consultation, filler injections usually take less than 30 minutes.

There are numerous fillers on the market, but at Simply Injectables in Providence, RI, we recommend Voluma because of our experience and extensive research. Voluma uses Vycross technology that provides molecular stability and long-lasting results. After Voluma injections, you’ll see smoother, plumper cheeks right away from this minimally invasive injection.
