There are plenty of options when looking into ways to rejuvenate to the skin. Along with lasers, chemical peels and facials, dermal fillers can help offer a youthful touch to the face by restoring some of the volume lost in the aging process.
This dermal filler is a very robust hyaluronic acid designed to restore volume in the skin. “Dermal fillers provide a more youthful ‘plumpness’ to the skin, which can fade as we age” states Dr. Miriam Hanson, a board-certified Dermatologist and Cosmetic Medicine specialist in Austin, Texas. This specific dermal filler is for use in select areas due to its thickness and structure, or G prime.
“Voluma is a great solution for mid-face rejuvenation,” shares Dr. Hanson. This includes contouring the cheeks, and offering a subtle lift or filling affect. This can restore the elasticity and hollows in the skin, and help smooth lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.
If you are looking for a way to offer a more smooth and soft appearance to the face, pairing these products can be extremely beneficial. Botox is able to soften the muscle contraction that causes dynamic rhytides and fine lines, while Juvederm Voluma is able to fill folds and hollows, as well as offer a lifting effect. These products used in tandem are a highly effective way rejuvenate the face with significant results.
“The answer honestly varies based on where we are placing the product,” explains Dr. Hanson. “Areas that do not have as much movement tend to see longer-lasting results.” Medical studies have shown that Voluma can last over 2 years in specific patients, but the physicians at Sanova Dermatology always see their patients at more regular intervals to ensure they obtain ultimate results and obtain the ‘full correction’ they desire.
The facial shape, elasticity and patients goals will ultimately gauge the amount of dermal filler necessary. Dr. Hanson recommends scheduling a consultation prior to committing to any specific treatment or product. “Treatments really should be individualized for each patient, to ensure they get the results and outcome they are looking for.”
