Description
Details
JUVÉDERM Voluma® XC is the first and only FDA-approved dermal filler to correct age-related volume loss in the midface. The injectable gel is the first and only filler FDA-approved for deep injection in the cheek area to correct age-related volume loss. JUVÉDERM Voluma® XC is for patients over the age of 21.
JUVÉDERM Voluma® XC is from the makers of the #1 family of fillers, but it is different than JUVÉDERM XC and works on a different area of the face. While JUVÉDERM XC smoothes out moderate to severe wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth, JUVÉDERM Voluma® XC adds volume to the cheek area. It is clinically proven to last up to 2 years with optimal treatment.
It is a hyaluronic acid filler, derived from a naturally occurring, hydrating substance found in your skin. In its natural form, hyaluronic acid is a sugar found in the skin and joints. Hyaluronic fillers are synthetic, biodegradable versions of these naturally occurring sugars and are considered to be extremely safe.
JUVÉDERM is priced per syringe.
After 24 hours you should be able to resume your normal activities. Side effects are moderate and generally last 2 to 4 weeks. Common side effects include temporary reactions at the treatment site such as tenderness, swelling, firmness, lumps, bruising, pain, redness, discoloration, and itching.
