It is common for the face, especially the cheeks, to lose volume as you get older. The facial tissues shrink and the skin becomes thinner, which can result in a gaunt, older appearance. One of the ways to combat the signs of aging is to use facial fillers to replace lost volume in the cheeks and midface. At MJR Dermatology, we offer Voluma™ injections as an anti-aging treatment at our facility in Lawrenceville, GA.
For many people, the buccal fat pads in the cheeks can lose volume and sag lower as they get older. The round, fuller cheeks of youth may begin to look flat or sunken as the skin and tissue lose their firmness. The flatter cheeks can contribute to bags under the eyes and deeper nasolabial folds, the smile lines that extend from the edge of the nose to around the mouth. Adding new volume into the cheeks can resolve these changes to the face for a more youthful, energetic appearance.
Juvéderm® Voluma is a denser hyaluronic acid formula than some of their other products. It is ideal for deeper placement in facial areas that need more volume, like the cheeks. This can plump and shape the cheeks, replacing the lost fat and lifting the skin to diminish folds and wrinkles.
Cheek Filler Treatment
Voluma injections can be performed in a non-invasive procedure to add beautiful contours to the cheeks. The most common effects of cheek filler injections are mild swelling or tenderness where the injections are performed, but you can expect those effects to subside quickly after the treatment. The added fullness to the cheeks is immediate, and patients do not need to schedule any downtime after their appointment. One of the many benefits of Voluma over other dermal fillers is that it is one of the longest-lasting hyaluronic acid fillers – you can enjoy the results for up to two years.
If your cheeks have lost their youthful volume, you may be a great candidate for Voluma cheek augmentation. To learn more about Voluma cheek filler injections, contact our team at MJR Dermatology. Call our clinic in the North Atlanta area near Duluth and Gwinnett, GA, to book your appointment.
