Treatment, Comfort, and Results
Voluma is injected into the skin with fine needles, so some patients may experience some minor pain from the initial prick. Numbing creams may be applied to the injection site to ease discomfort. Patients also have the option to use lidocaine, which is mixed with the Voluma solution, to help provide anesthetic effects in and around the area.
A treatment may last from 10 minutes to 1 hour. Patients will be able to return to daily activities after several hours. There may be some swelling, discoloration, and tenderness around the cheeks, but will subside after a few days. Results are readily evident and may last up to 2 years.
