New Facial Filler to Debut

Fillers have greatly improved over the years. Going from basic collagen to multi-tasking fillers that restore volume and stimulate one’s own collagen production and fillers mixed with lidocaine that make the treatment as painless as possible, consumers in the know are always looking out for the next great thing. Yet another filler to treat facial volume loss is on the horizon. How is this one different? It’s thicker.

That basic difference may not seem like a big deal at first, but this product’s viscosity may help improve results, especially in cases where patients need greater facial volume. From Allergan, maker of Botox Cosmetic and Juvéderm, Voluma is already available in Canada. Recommended to treat areas needing more volume, the new, thicker hyaluronic acid filler from the Juvéderm line promises a smoother look and feel for areas such as the cheeks, cheekbones and chin.

Results from Voluma last up to a year or longer, and the product is expected to launch in the U.S. later this year.
