Juvéderm Voluma XC is a gel that is injected into the cheek area to gently lift the skin and restore volume that is lost from aging. It is made from a modified form of hyaluronic acid which is a natural complex sugar that occurs within our bodies.
While wrinkle fillers traditionally have been the mainstay of filler treatments and offer excellent results when properly used, Voluma opens up a whole new world of opportunities for rejuvenation. In particular, its ability to lift skin distant from where it is injected in the cheeks often reduces or may even eliminate the need for filling other lines and wrinkles – or at least decrease the amount of filler material needed. This can be very important because the cost to add Voluma to your treatment plan may be significantly offset by the savings of not needing some of the filler you may have needed in the past in the folds around the mouth.
