Volume Injection (Volumizer)
We present a category of injectable treatments that stimulate collagen production to build volume over time. Unlike fillers that create immediate shape upon injection, changes appear gradually, and results and duration vary by individual.
Volume Injection, summarized?
Volume Injection is a category summarizing injectable procedures that stimulate collagen production beneath the skin to build volume and elasticity over time. Unlike dermal fillers where the shape is immediately completed, changes appear over several weeks, so instead of administering a large amount at once, it is performed in separate sessions while monitoring progress. Depending on the layer and area injected, tactile feel or nodules may occur, so we inform you of these possibilities prior to the procedure. Individual differences exist in maintenance period and results.

B:AID's Approach
Volume injection is an injectable procedure that injects absorbable materials under the skin to induce tissue self-response and manage volume loss in sunken areas. Rather than maintaining the shape immediately after injection, the material is absorbed over time and the tissue response takes effect, so instead of injecting a large amount at once, the procedure is carried out in sessions with intervals to check progress. Post-procedure care, such as the injection layer, target area, and whether massage is performed, also affects results, so it is important to follow the provided care instructions. Individual differences exist in when response appears and the duration of maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it differ from fillers?
Fillers create immediate shape upon injection, whereas volume injections stimulate collagen production, showing gradual changes over several weeks.
When can I see the results?
It appears gradually over several weeks rather than immediately after the procedure. Therefore, we proceed in multiple sessions while checking the progress.
How long does it last?
It varies depending on the product, treatment area, and individual metabolism. Duration varies by individual.
Can nodules form?
Depending on the layer and area of insertion, a tactile sensation or nodules may occur, so we inform you of the possibility prior to the procedure.
Is it unadvisable to inject a large amount at once?
Because changes appear over time, it is safer to proceed in sessions while checking the progress rather than injecting a large amount all at once.
Which areas is it performed on?
It targets areas with diminished volume, and the appropriate product and layer vary depending on the area. This is determined during consultation.
