It is a perfect filler if you have significant volume loss and are looking for immediate volumizing with long-term results. In fact, when filled to optimal correction, you can expect Radiesse to last up to a year.

Voluma®
Juvéderm Voluma XC —Voluma for short—is the first filler approved by the FDA to correct age-related volume loss in the cheek area. Voluma is a high-density hyaluronic acid (HA) filler that has been approved and used in 72 other countries for years.
It works particularly well at restoring volume to cheeks. Volume loss in this part of the face results in hollowing of the cheek area and a sagging appearance. It is one of the earliest signs of aging.
The great thing about Voluma is that not only is it dense enough to adequately fill these large hollows, but it also lasts longer than any other HA filler on the market. 2 years! This is great for clients that dislike returning for frequent refills and the needle-sticks that come with it.*
Like Juvederm and some of the other fillers, VolumaXC contains lidocaine, which significantly minimizes any discomfort with injection.
To see if Voluma is right for you, schedule a consultation with NicholsMD of Greenwich today.
