Is there any basis to the concern about delayed nodules with the Voluma group of products?

Aesthetics

Every single filler, hyaluronic acid filler has different manufacturing attributes. And some of the manufacturing attributes of the voluma group have been published and have been shown to perhaps cause more of a reaction. It's not clear whether that's an immune reaction, whether it sets up a little bit of an increased ability to have an indolent infection, a biome infection, but there is definitely published data now. It's still limited, meaning you don't see this very often. And it's very clear that if you use small aloquots of any filler, and that includes voluma, you will dramatically decrease the risk of any delayed nodules for these products.
