Introducing Juvéderm Voluma™ XC
Juvéderm Voluma™ XC is a relatively new cosmetic non-surgical treatment capable of restoring youthful fullness to your cheeks and mid-face area. Results are instant, natural looking and can last up to two years. Juvéderm Voluma™ XC is the only FDA-approved cosmetic filler designed to correct age-related volume loss in the mid-face area.
What is Juvéderm Voluma™ XC?
Juvéderm Voluma™ XC is the only FDA-approved cosmetic filler designed to restore instant fullness to the apple, hollow and apex of the cheek area. It is also occasionally used on the chin, jaw and neck. Like Juvéderm ® XC, the gel is made primarily from hyaluronic acid, but has been altered so that it adds a subtle fullness and lift to the cheek and mid-face region. The treatment requires very little downtime and the results last up to two full years.
How Does It Work?
As we age the fatty tissue that gives our faces youthful smoothness begins to diminish, leading to the development of wrinkles and sagging skin. After the application of numbing cream, Juvéderm Voluma™ XC can be injected in those areas where the face’s natural subcutaneous fat has been depleted, restoring fullness and smoothing wrinkles.
If you have questions about Juvéderm Voluma™ XC or would like to set up a consultation to discuss your options, contact our Denver or Lone Tree office today by calling 303-744-2300.
