TOPIC: Actual USA Prices on Voluma

Mat, you called Allergan in the USA or Europe? In the USA, they won't say a word to you if you don't have an account. They are not helping the situation, unfortunately.

I asked the merz rep I am in contact with (who constantly emailed the doctor who has their account) about a certain website that sells fillers in Europe, and she ignored me (twice) - and stopped emailing me entirely after that. I have no idea what to make of that. Merz makes Radiesse, and it is a lot cheaper on the website than through her. I almost think she knows that the website is legitimate and couldn't acknowledge it. She should have said "that website is not authorized" but she didn't say a word.

I wanted to post this because I read the thread about the guy who had his "voluma" disappear in 1 month (which means it was all swelling) and I think people should be careful. (edit - this was the thread) It was just upsetting to read he wasted all that money and time, and was basically lied to by his doctor. (He didn't just "metabolize it really fast" either - while that happens, it doesn't happen in 1 month to 16cc of product)

I don't know enough about Canadian and European pricing, so sorry if that confused anyone. I was talking about the USA only. That being said, Recklaw, 10cc for '2800 sounds suspicious to me, because you also have to include the doctor's time and disposable equipment. It's '3300 if he does it for no doctor's fee, based on American prices. So, in England, voluma is '50 per cc less than USA and he's doing it for free? More likely, he's doing it for something like '800 and then the product would have to be '200/cc - which is 35% cheaper than the US price. I don't know why Allergan would charge so much less in the UK. I know the NHS forces drug companies into lower prices, but this is elective/cosmetic and not NHS obviously.

Sexy Beast, you're in the USA, right? Every time I asked Allergan about volume discounts, they only said you get 2ccs free after a certain number (I think it was 50). They said there are absolutely no tiers and discounts. I asked 3 separate reps on the phone. They just read the same script every time about when you get free syringes (word for word - every time). I think you said you're like a top 10 practice or something, so perhaps you have a special deal that falls outside of the script I heard 3 times. Still, I can't imagine you're below 350/cc... which still puts you above what some of the quotes that guys are getting from docs are at. Can you recall what Ireland had it priced for?

Allergan will not tell pricing info to people w/o an account (so you need to be a NP or higher, I think), but they may (in other countries) answer a question like "My doctor agreed to inject 10 ccs for $2000 - does that sound possible, financially?" Or maybe not. But, someone on here should know European pricing and post it.

european prices r going to be way cheaper, especially the UK, people have friends.....

hey man i'm not as on the up and up as you are, but what exactly are you saying here? I'm new to this site. Can you order this stuff directly?

So did someone here self-inject with Voluma? That's a little risky, no? First, getting Real voluma, and then doing the injection....even with some medical training with injections....

Having said that, if there was a supplier that could provide Voluma of good quality, I probably would try to find a contact who could do the injection.

What is considered a good price in the USA to get 10ml of Voluma injected?

I sent an inquiry about their Euro pricing and cited my account number where I am an authorized user (though not the MD). We'll see if they write back. I'll post their reply.
