Juvéderm Voluma XC

What is Juvéderm Voluma XC?

Juvéderm Voluma is an FDA-approved filler made with hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally gives the skin elasticity and hydration by drawing in water molecules. Hyaluronic acid levels gradually decline with age and other factors like sun exposure. When used in dermal fillers like Voluma, age-related volume loss and facial lines can be addressed.

Juvéderm Voluma is formulated with a thicker, more robust hyaluronic acid injectable gel than many other fillers. This unique formulation allows it to provide structural support and lift in areas where volume loss is more pronounced, particularly the cheeks, temples, and chin. By replenishing lost volume and improving facial contours, Voluma can rejuvenate a more youthful appearance and better facial structure with long-lasting effects.

Am I a Candidate for Juvéderm Voluma XC?

You may be a good candidate for Juvéderm Voluma if you are experiencing loss of midface volume, changes in facial shape due to early signs of aging, or wish to augment the natural contours of your face with a nonsurgical solution. Ideal candidates are healthy adults over the age of 21 who are not currently pregnant and do not have an active skin infection in the treatment area. A consultation with Dr. Paquet will help determine whether Voluma is the most appropriate filler based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. This is not a suitable treatment option for patients who are allergic to lidocaine, a numbing agent found in the Voluma formula, or those with a history of severe allergic reactions to other ingredients in the formula.

Benefits of Juvéderm Voluma XC

Juvéderm Voluma provides noticeable lift and contour while maintaining a natural appearance and feel. Patients can achieve more youthful contours, like a more defined jawline and cheekbones, while addressing mildly sagging cheeks. Dr. Paquet and his team use precise techniques to improve facial symmetry and enhance overall facial balance for natural-looking results. Its advanced formulation allows for long-lasting results, often up to two years in some patients.

Areas Treated

Juvéderm Voluma is most commonly used to treat:

• Cheeks and mid-face volume loss
• Loss of contour along the cheekbones
• Weak chin and jawline
• Hollow temples

Voluma can be used alone or in combination with other fillers that are designed to smooth wrinkles like nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, vertical lip lines, and more. Combination treatments are a great option for patients who wish to add volume and address moderate to severe facial wrinkles.

Before Your Juvéderm Voluma XC Procedure

Before treatment, you will meet with Dr. Paquet for a detailed consultation to review your medical history, discuss your goals, and develop a customized treatment plan. You may be advised to avoid certain medications or supplements before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising. Pre-treatment instructions will be provided to ensure a smooth experience.

Your Juvéderm Voluma XC Procedure

Juvéderm Voluma injections are performed in-office and typically take 30 minutes or less. The filler contains lidocaine to enhance comfort during treatment, but a topical numbing cream can also be applied if desired. Using advanced injection techniques and a fine needle, a series of injections will be performed in the desired areas. After these injections are complete, patients can immediately return to their normal routines.

After Your Juvéderm Voluma XC Procedure

There is minimal downtime after Voluma injections. Mild swelling, tenderness, or redness may occur but usually resolves within a few hours or up to a few days. Cold compresses can be used to minimize discomfort and swelling. Dr. Paquet also recommends that patients avoid strenuous activities, excess sun exposure, and rubbing or massaging the injection sites for 48 hours. While some immediate improvement can be seen, it will take about 1-2 weeks for the final results to develop as the filler settles. With optimal treatment, most patients can enjoy their refreshed appearance for up to two years.
