JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC

Hyaluronic acid helps the skin maintain its natural structure and volume. Over time, the body’s natural supply of hyaluronic acid dwindles, and the effects show.

As the body loses hyaluronic acid, the cheeks lose their fullness and volume, and the skin in the mid-face region begins to sag. This gives the face a prematurely aged expression.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is the first product FDA-approved to correct age-related volume loss in the cheeks for adults over the age of 21. When injected, the hyaluronic acid-based product subtly lifts and contours the cheeks for a more youthful looking face. Results last up to two years.

Small amounts of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC gel are injected into the deep layers of the skin. The gel contains lidocaine, a numbing agent, and additional anesthetic is not needed. The treated areas may be gently massaged.
