Fortunately, restoring lost volume to your cheeks is easy. At Dr. Wendy E. Roberts in Rancho Mirage, California, we can rejuvenate your look with Voluma for cheeks. Voluma is an injectable product in the Juvederm collection of dermal fillers. This FDA-approved product is a great way to achieve significant, long-lasting changes in your cheeks. The longevity of your results will depend on several different factors, including the amount of the product that we injected into your cheeks and how quickly your body processes this treatment.
That said, your improvements are likely to last for up to two years. To prolong the benefits of this treatment, you should use high-quality products on your skin.
You should also wear a hat and a strong sunscreen whenever your cheeks are exposed to sunlight. After about two years, your cheeks will gradually return to their previous appearance.
If you would like to maintain your full, rounded cheeks, you can preserve your new look by receiving touch-up injections. Your cheeks will gradually lose volume as you become older. There are a number of factors that will cause this facial feature to change over time. Even if you live a healthy lifestyle and use high-quality skincare products, the structure of your face will change as you age. In particular, the fat that pads out the middle of your face will decrease.
As your fat pads diminish, your cheeks will become hollow, and your face will look thinner and more angular. In addition to losing fat in your face, your skin will change in ways that negatively impact the appearance of your cheeks. For instance, your body will begin to produce less collagen and elastin. These important proteins help your skin fight the effects of gravity and prevent you from developing wrinkles and lines. When these proteins decline, your skin will begin to droop and sag.
These developments will make your cheeks look hollow and drawn. Your daily habits will also impact the appearance of your cheeks. For instance, the sun emits ultra-violet rays that can damage the elastin and collagen in your skin. As a result, if you frequently spend time outdoors without wearing sunscreen and protective clothing, you are likely to experience negative changes in the texture and appearance of your skin.
These changes can accelerate the aging process that causes you to develop sagging, hollow cheeks. When you eat better and exercise more frequently, you are likely to lose weight all over your body. Since your face is relatively small, losing even a portion of the fat in your face will cause your cheeks to look hollow and drawn. Further, if you lose weight very quickly, your skin will have difficulty adjusting to this change. As a result, you will develop loose, sagging skin that makes the middle of your face look hollow and sunken.
Certain diseases can affect the appearance of your cheeks. In particular, some immune disorders and thyroid issues can cause you to lose fat in your face. Lupus and arthritis can also cause you to develop hollow cheeks.
Further, going through a stressful experience can cause you to develop health issues that negatively impact your appearance. Voluma uses a modified form of a substance called hyaluronic acid to enhance the appearance of your cheeks. Hyaluronic acid is a type of sugar that your skin naturally contains.
This useful substance helps your skin retain moisture and volume. When we administer the product into your cheeks, the hyaluronic acid in the solution will quickly add volume to this area of your face. Unlike the other Hyaluronic Acid-based fillers that are injected subcutaneously between the skin layers , Voluma is injected on top of the bone. This allows it to build volume upward, lifting the cheek. Typically, most patients will need one syringe in each cheek for the best results.
You will see results instantly and they will last for a long time. Since this product does not bind with the water in your body, it does not break down as quickly unlike those hyaluronic acid fillers that do. In fact, Juvederm Voluma lasts up to 24 months , with some patients reporting their results lasting even longer than 24 months.
So, while this product is a bit more expensive than others, its longevity makes it very cost effective and the results worthwhile. At your initial consultation, we will review in detail how you should prepare for your treatment.
You will need to be mindful of some directives post-treatment to ensure that you achieve the best possible results. After your appointment, you need to avoid strenuous activity or intense workouts for 24 hours to avoid inflammation in the treatment area. You should also avoid anything that increases your body temperature, including any type of hot environment or setting. Once you undergo this treatment, you will see immediate results, and they will continue to improve for a week post-treatment.
Your results will last up to six months and can be extended with a follow-up treatment three months after your initial injection to help extend those results a year or longer.
When you begin treatment, we will design the right treatment plan for your needs so that you can experience a youthful appearance once again. Charles areas.
