When looking for signs of aging—one of the areas we notice most are the lines that develop between the nose and the corners of the mouth—the nasolabial folds. We know that these lines are often directly related to the loss of volume in the cheeks. When that volume is replaced, a youthful look results, and the nasolabial folds are greatly reduced, giving a very natural look. Correct placement of volume in the mid-face (cheeks) is one of the most important keys to aging successfully.
What is JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC?
It is the newest member of the JUVÉDERM Hyaluronic Acid (HA) family of dermal fillers. It is formulated using a process that gives it a special smooth-gel structure that will last longer than other dermal fillers. It is considered a next-generation filler and the only hyaluronic acid filler that is clinically proven to last up to 2 years after a single treatment.
How does JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC work?
It is an injectable dermal filler that helps to add volume to facial tissue, thus restoring a smooth and more youthful appearance, and can be used to correct many common signs of aging, including:
- Restoring volume to cheeks
- Smoothing moderate lines around the eyes
- Smoothing wrinkles around the nose and mouth
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure is noninvasive and requires minimal downtime or recovery. The total treatment takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and results are nearly instant, with minimal swelling and bruising. Often, our patients receive a full treatment over their lunch break or after work.
