Nothing is quite so gratifying for a woman or man wanting to instantly and noticeably look younger than the use of a dermal filler. Dermal fillers have been around since 1981 and are one of the few cosmetic enhancement procedures you can have that produce instantaneous results.
Correcting volume loss in the Mid Face
Sunken, sagging, and wrinkled skin is immediately eliminated with the injection of a dermal filler, and the results can last from months to years. Using dermal fillers such as our San Diego Juvederm Voluma treatment can produce similar results to a facelift but without the surgery.
Bovine collagen was one of the first FDA approved dermal fillers, however a variety of materials have been subsequently approved for use in facial rejuvenation services such as the ones offered at our office. Different types of fillers are used nowadays, such as Hyaluronic acid, Poly-L-Lactic Acid, and Calcium Hydroxylapatite. Each has its own particular areas of specialty and its own benefits. It is up to the individual and their cosmetic physician to determine the best dermal filler for their beauty needs.
Before & After
Juvederm Voluma XC is a breakthrough
Made specifically for deep midface injections to plump up cheeks and correct age-related volume loss in that area, Juvéderm® Voluma is the next stage in dermal fillers. It comes as an injectable gel and is the first and only FDA-approved dermal filler made specifically for the cheek augmentation in adults over the age of 21. The extra volume provided by the gel gives the face a more youthful appearance and better contours.
Since its effects can last for up to two years, there’s no need for frequent appointments to keep up your new look. Simply get your injection and enjoy the new, younger looking you for a long time to come. Results are instant and there is no downtime.
Juvéderm Voluma FAQs
What are the benefits of Juvederm Voluma?
The Juvederm Voluma XC injectable gel is an FDA-approved filler to add an instant volume to all three areas of the cheek, and also smoothes out wrinkles and folds around the mouth area by adding the volume to the upper face. The results of the treatments last for up to 2 years with minimal side effects.
Skin changes over time as the body ages reducing the hyaluronic acid in the skin. This creates visible changes in volume and structure, causing wrinkles and sagging in areas like your cheeks. Juvederm Voluma gel is manufactured using the VYCROSS process to create a product that provides natural, smooth skin in look and feel.
Juvederm XC is also available in two formulas: the Juvederm Ultra XC which provides a versatile agent for contouring and providing volume in wrinkles and folds around the mouth and naso-labial folds, or Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, which is a heavier formula to provide volume and deep wrinkle correction.
