Juvederm Voluma® is an injectible filler that is made of hyaluronic acid with a special structure that makes it firmer than other hyaluronic fillers. It is well-suited to restoring deep volume in the cheeks, temples, and other facial areas. Patients who undergo treatment with Voluma® at our Chicago and North Suburban locations benefit from Dr. John Q. Cook’s 15 year experience with facial volumization.
