Voluma
Do syringes of Voluma only come in half full size?
Voluma comes in 1ml syringes as far as I'm aware (see link below). Some offices will sell syringes in less than their packaged quantity by transferring some of the original product into a sterile syringe for injection. This is something to be discussed with your injector.
Voluma is formulated to be thicker and firmer than most fillers, which is what lets it lift and add volume rather than just fill in fine lines. A full syringe placed correctly can last a year or more, sometimes up to two years, in areas like the cheeks. If a syringe is split between areas or patients, you simply get less product per site, which can mean less lift or a shorter-lasting result. Ask your injector exactly how much product is being used and where, so you know what result to expect.
Clinical Context
Voluma is a hyaluronic acid filler formulated to be thicker and firmer than typical fillers, allowing it to add lift and volume rather than just smooth lines. A full 1ml syringe placed in the cheeks can last up to two years. If a syringe is split between areas or patients, less product goes into each site, which can reduce how much lift or volume correction you notice.
