What is JUVÉDERM Voluma® XC?

Unfortunately, as we age, our skin changes; lines and wrinkles seem to appear overnight. Botox and Juvederm are the go-to injectables to treat these concerns, but what about the loss of volume in the cheeks? Allergan (the maker of Botox and Juvederm) have an option for you called Voluma®.

Juvederm Voluma

This injectable gel helps with loss of volume and saggy skin. Voluma is a hyaluronic acid filler which is made from long chains of sugars that occur naturally in the skin. Juvederm Voluma is unique in that the hyaluronic acid is cross-linked through a process called VYCROSS® that helps provide an excellent lifting capacity. The special cross-linking makes Voluma last longer than some other injectables.

With Juvederm Voluma XC you can get a more youthful appearance in just one treatment!

Juvederm® products are made from a substance that occur naturally in all human bodies – hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is highly attracted to water and has the ability to bind to it. As we age, hyaluronic acid is depleted, the skin loses volume and lines, wrinkles and folds are formed. Juvederm’family of fillers are one of today’s most popular in-office, “lunch-hour” treatments.

The Benefits of JUVÉDERM Voluma® XC

  • Voluma® can provide contour and subtle lift for up to 2 years
  • Adds volume lost to aging for adults over 21 years
  • Provides natural-looking results
  • First & Only FDA-Approved injectable for the Cheek Area

This injectable allows you to look up to 5 years younger at 6 months after the treatment!

A Good Candidate

Any man or woman who is unhappy with what they see when looking into the mirror and who desires to correct the problems listed above, could be an ideal candidate for Juvederm Injectable treatments. Being in overall good health and having realistic expectations is required.

Dr. Rudderman believes the first consult is critical to both you and him. It is during this time that you both achieve a mutual understanding, trust and respect. The information you provide is essential to tailoring the right treatment plan and realistic goals. Dr. Rudderman will listen carefully and sensitively before developing your personalized surgery/treatment plan.

JUVÉDERM Voluma® XC Procedure

JUVÉDERM Voluma® XC is injected by Dr. Rudderman or his Aesthetic Specialist, under the skin using a fine needle. It can instantly add just enough volume to gently lift the cheek area. Look up to 5 years younger at 6 months after treatment.

Juvederm® XC, Volbella®, and Voluma® all contain an anesthetic, called lidocaine, to help reduce discomfort during your treatment.

JUVÉDERM Voluma® XC FAQ’s

Why Is Juvéderm® XC Different?

Juvederm™ Ultra and Ultra Plus is a “next generation” hyaluronic acid – smooth gel dermal filler. It is different from others on the market because it is a “smooth gel” that flows consistently into the skin, causing wrinkles and folds to easily “smooth away” with the restored volume to the skin. The Ultra Plus formula is more robust and allows for more versatility in treating deeper wrinkles and folds.

What Facial Areas Are Typically Treated?

Juvéderm® is used to correct areas around the mouth and lips that need to be rejuvenated.

What Makes Juvéderm® Suitable For All Skin Types?

There is no risk of hyper-pigmentation and hyper-tropic scarring.

Juvéderm® Is Different From Botox Cosmetic – How?

Botox is a muscle relaxant that is generally used in the upper facial area to relax the parallel line area between the eyes.

Explain Hyaluronic Acid and Cross-Linking.

Hyaluronic Acid is substance which occurs naturally in all mammals and helps to keep the skin hydrated. With aging hyaluronic acid production slows down and lines, wrinkles and folds appear. Cross-linking is a unique manufacturing process. It is what makes Juvéderm® effective and longer lasting.

Are Juvéderm® Injections Painful?

Because Juvederm is a smooth gel – it flows easily and consistently into the skin. This causes little to no discomfort like other dermal fillers because they are granular.

How Long Does A Treatment Take?

A treatment generally takes 15-30 minutes.

Will Insurance Cover Juvederm Treatments?

NO. Insurance does not pay for cosmetic procedures. But financing is available. Please ask about it in our business office.

  • Dr. Rudderman and his staff made the experience easy and comfortable. They were realistic communicating surgery expectations, expected pain levels and down time from work. Nurses were informative and friendly and wait times minimal. I also liked the fact that Dr. Rudderman does all his own work and doesn't let other less experienced people do parts of the surgery the way other doctors may. I'm only one week out of the surgery, but I am very satisfied with the results so far.
