Published by DR. Bradley Ashpole

Juvéderm Voluma XC Treatment

What is Juvéderm Voluma XC?

Juvéderm is a well-known dermal filler product. Its main purpose is restoring volume and fullness back into the face. There are several types of Juvederm products available on the market. Each one is crafted specifically for a different area of the face.

Juvéderm Voluma XC is formulated to counteract the effects of aging in the cheeks. The gel is injected into the cheek area to create lift and to restore volume to areas that have been affected by aging. This gel formula is made from a modified form of hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs within the body.

Juvéderm products are only available for in-office use by Board Certified plastic surgeons.

What is Juvéderm Voluma XC Used For?

Juvéderm Voluma XC is a non-surgical option for restoring a youthful look to your cheeks. It’s recommended for adults over the age of 21 who are experiencing sagging skin, facial wrinkles, and other physical effects of aging.

How Long Does Juvéderm Last?

In ideal conditions, the effects of Juvéderm Voluma XC can last for up to two years before retreatment becomes necessary.

Possible Side Effects of Juvederm Filler Injections

Juvéderm Voluma XC is actually the first-ever FDA-approved non-surgical option for correcting volume loss in the cheeks due to aging. Even though this anti-aging treatment has been proven safe and effective, there are some mild side effects you should consider before choosing this treatment option.

Some of the most common side effects include:

  • Bruising
  • Tenderness
  • Swelling
  • Pain during the injection
  • Redness or itching
  • Bumps around the injection site

Most of these side effects are temporary and will go away within a few days or weeks of your procedure. However, you should always talk to your doctor about any concerns you have.
