00.01 – Training in use of Voluma

01.31 – Ideal use of Voluma
Voluma was FDA approved for use in the United States in December of 2013. We were fortunate to begin using it at that time. And we were also, both Dr. Sunder and myself have been very fortunate to have been trained at a masters injection course by Dr. Maricio Dimayio of Sao Paulo Brazil recently. And during that course we were shown really the home run areas to place Voluma.
And our patient satisfaction thus far since December has been home run. Its invariably every single patient we’ve treated with Voluma has been incredibly happy and we’ve been incredibly happy with their appearance. The treatment is relatively quick and easy patients describe the comfort level similar to having Botox injections. We do like to use a little ice on the opposite side that we are injecting to distract the patient from the actual injections. The injections are placed deep and one of the really nice things about Voluma is if there is any irregularity, it is very pliable and we are able to massage it down in a most natural way.
We like to be conservative with the juice. One of my pet peeves recently is seeing so many apple cheeks out there and it’s just such an unnatural appearance. So what we’d like to do is to treat our patients with a syringe or two of Voluma and then have them come back a few weeks later and we can always add a little bit.
But as far as patient satisfaction it’s really been a home run.
