Juvederm Voluma is an injectable filler that is used to replenish facial volume (cheekbones, cheeks, lips) and reduce signs of aging, including wrinkles. Thanks to the drug, cosmetologists are able to restore the patient’s facial contour, making it look younger and more attractive.
The picture shows Juvederm filler in its original packaging.
The main active component of the Juvederm line is hyaluronic acid (the so-called “hyaluronic acid”).
WHAT IS JUVEDERM VOLUMA
With age, a person's appearance undergoes changes, which are primarily reflected on the face. Cosmetology products, fillers, which are an alternative to plastic surgery, help solve the problem. One of these products is Voluma Juvederm, which you can read more about on plastichno.com.
The use of Juvederm Voluma can improve the appearance of the following areas:
- nasolabial folds;
- cheekbones;
- cheeks;
- chin area and others.
The product, packaged in sterile 2 ml syringes, contains three components:
- Hyaluronic acid, responsible for replenishing volume, providing hydration and promoting tissue regeneration processes.
- Phosphate buffer is a substance responsible for stabilizing hyaluronic acid, helping to maintain the effect of the injection longer.
- Lidocaine is an anesthetic drug.
All components of the filler are included in the optimal dosage, allowing injections without additional pain relief.
Stages of the procedure
The duration of one session is about 30–50 minutes, and takes place in several stages:
- preparatory – consultation with a specialized doctor, a thorough examination of the pathology, further recommendations, identifying the absence of contraindications and developing a range of actions. In addition, the doctor informs the patient about possible negative manifestations;
- the second stage – the specialist removes remnants of decorative cosmetics, fragments of dust and sweat contaminants, after which he disinfects the work area to minimize infection;
- the third is the direct injection. The syringe is equipped with a special thin needle with a blunt end - a cannula. The manipulation may consist of a series of injections.
The procedure is low-traumatic and virtually painless. However, at the request of the patient, additional local anesthesia is possible using special cooling gel anesthetics compatible with lidocaine.
How the procedure is carried out is described in more detail in the video.

What makes products based on Vycross™ technology different from other hyaluronic acid fillers?
I would like to say that Vycross™ technology is unique in its kind, and this opinion is based on many years of clinical and scientific experience. Is this the first time we have a product that can be integrated into tissue? This is extremely important because the product, which is integrated into the tissue, does not migrate, is physiological, completely fills the adipose or dermal tissue, and allows us to achieve the unique effect of optimal distribution of the drug in the patient’s facial tissues. Thanks to this, we are able to plan and can be sure that the drug, once placed in the tissues, will not go anywhere, will not move, and we will not experience any complications.
Vycross™ is a drug that is easy to administer and is a good tool in the hands of a doctor.
They are pleasant to work with, they are perfectly modeled, and I will say that when you are already accustomed to drugs based on Vycross™ technology, another drug simply does not fit into your hand, and it seems that your hands are simply tied. And when you switch back to Vycross™, you understand what the difference is. Because these drugs are easy to administer, well modeled, and provide good clinical results.
"EIGHT POINTS LIFTING"
The filler is introduced in accordance with generally accepted techniques. One of them is called “Eight Points of Lifting”. It is based on holistic processing of the face at the corresponding points located in the lower part of the face:
- on the cheekbones;
- on the chin;
- nasolabial folds.
With this treatment, the effect of the procedure is complex, allowing you to harmonize the face for a fairly long period - up to one and a half to two years. There are the following lifting points:
- L1. Zygomatic arch.
- L2. Zygomatic eminence.
- L3. Anteromedial part of the cheek.
- L4. Nasolabial fold.
- L5. Labial-marginal fold.
- L6. Premaxillary groove.
- L7. Angle of the lower jaw.
- L8. Parotid and submalar areas.
Ultra 3
A little denser in structure. It removes medium wrinkles and folds. The drug well corrects the shape and volume of the cheekbones, lips, and cheeks.
A transparent plastic gel that is highly resistant to decomposition in tissues, due to which the drug retains its volume and shape at the injection site for a long time. The effect of its action is observed for up to 1 year.
PREPARATION AND REHABILITATION
The result of the injection of the Voluma Juvederm filler and how well the procedure itself and subsequent recovery will go depends largely on the patient’s compliance with a number of rules. At the stage of preparation for manipulation, it is necessary to be especially careful when taking medications. It is especially important to avoid the use of aspirin and vitamin C.
After the procedure, you should not use cosmetics for at least 12 hours. You need to try for a few days:
- spend less time in the sun;
- do not massage or squeeze your face;
- do not stay in very hot rooms;
- avoid temperature changes.
Saunas and baths are banned for half a month.
Advantages
The main advantages of the drug include:
- The manufacturing technology of the component is based on innovative biosynthesis techniques. This means that these fillers are characterized by a non-animal origin;
- a fairly high threshold of biological compatibility with natural tissues at the cellular level, not only with the surface of the skin, but also with its deep layers;
- longer lasting results compared to other analog products.
The main filler filler belongs to the category of highly concentrated fillers, with a ratio of 1:24.
REVIEWS

Flaws
The disadvantages of correcting skin defects with filler include:
- high price, in comparison with analogue means, for the manipulation, and directly for the drug itself;
- a sufficient number of contraindications for use;
- the presence of side effects caused by a high concentration of the components of the product;
Manipulation requires qualifications and professional training of a specialist, which is not always possible in small towns and clinics with a dubious reputation.
Forecast
If everything is done correctly, the result can be observed immediately after the session. Regardless of which area of the face is being corrected, the effect should be immediate.
At the same time, final positive changes will occur only after the recovery stage - after 3-6 days.
If the effect is insignificant, an additional session may be performed after 3–4 weeks.
A lasting result usually lasts for a year, depending on the degree of the defect and the structural features of the tissue.
Precautionary measures
The drug Volift requires strict adherence to the instructions on the part of both the doctor and the patient. If you follow the technique and recommendations, the risks of complications are minimal.
Side effects:
- swelling;
- hematomas;
- keloid scars;
- tissue necrosis;
- compaction;
- papules;
- inflammation;
- allergic reaction.
At the consultation stage, it is necessary to identify limitations for:
- intolerance to components;
- malignant formations;
- postoperative period;
- autoimmune pathologies;
- pregnancy, lactation;
- tendency to form keloid scars;
- inflammatory infections;
- epilepsy;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Possible complications
The risks and possible complications are similar to other hyaluron-based products. The only difference is that the Juvederm series fillers inject slightly deeper. Consequently, side effects may be more pronounced.
These include:
- bruises and minor hematomas;
- redness in the injection area;
- itching of the skin at the site of hyaluron distribution;
- swelling in the area of manipulation.
It is worth noting that such manifestations are short-term and non-local in nature, depending on the experience of the specialist and the anatomical features of the soft tissue structure.
Complications resolve spontaneously after 5–6 days and do not require additional medical intervention.
