Voluma: The Underrated MVP of Facial Filler
When it comes to dermal fillers, Juvederm Voluma is hands down one of my favorites to work with. As an aesthetic nurse, I’ve tried and tested plenty of fillers, but Voluma stands out because of its perfect balance between structure and softness. It’s firm enough to provide a natural lift, yet soft enough to blend seamlessly with your natural facial contours. If you’re looking for a filler that enhances without looking overdone, Voluma is where it’s at. Let’s talk about my top three favorite areas to treat with it and why it makes such a difference!
1. Cheeks: The Lift Without the Puff
Let’s start with the most obvious (and probably the most popular) use for Voluma—the cheeks. Unlike some other Juvederm fillers, Voluma has a bit more lifting capacity, making it a fantastic choice for adding definition and restoring volume loss in the mid-face. But here’s what I love about it: it’s not just about adding volume; it’s about creating that subtle, lifted, and refreshed look without looking “done.” When injected strategically, it can restore youthful contours, enhance cheekbones, and even soften nasolabial folds. No chipmunk cheeks here—just natural, sculpted beauty.
2. Chin: The Secret to a Balanced Face
Chin filler doesn’t get nearly as much hype as it should, but trust me—it’s a game changer. Voluma in the chin creates beautiful, natural projection, which helps balance the lower face and improve the profile. A weak or recessed chin can throw off facial harmony, making other features look disproportionate. By using Voluma, I can add just the right amount of structure to elongate and refine the face while still keeping it natural. The best part? A well-proportioned chin can also make the jawline look sharper without needing filler in the jaw itself. It’s one of those tweaks that makes a huge impact without people being able to pinpoint exactly what changed!
3. Temples: The Anti-Aging Hack No One Talks About
Temple filler is the unsung hero of facial rejuvenation. Most people don’t realize how much volume loss in the temples ages the face until they see what a difference filling them makes. When we’re younger, our temples are naturally full and rounded, but as we age, we lose fat in this area due to bone resorption and fat pad depletion. This can create a hollow, almost skeletal look, sometimes referred to as the dreaded “Skeletor effect.”
By adding Voluma to the temples, I can restore that youthful fullness and soften the transition between the forehead, cheeks, and brow area. It’s one of those treatments that makes people look refreshed and more youthful, but in a way that’s so subtle, no one can quite put their finger on why.
Final Thoughts
Voluma is an incredibly versatile filler that offers beautiful, long-lasting results (we’re talking up to two years in some cases!). Whether you’re looking to lift, define, or restore volume, this filler delivers. Cheeks, chin, and temples might not be the first areas people think of when considering filler, but trust me—strategic placement in these spots can completely transform a face in the most natural, undetectable way. And at the end of the day, that’s the goal: looking like the best version of yourself without anyone knowing exactly what you did!
