Juvederm Voluma: A Minimally-Invasive, Non-Surgical Mid-Facelift
Human skin contains two important proteins, collagen, and elastin. These proteins give the skin its elasticity, structure, and volume. With age, the body makes less collagen and elastin. As a result, the facial tissues become loose and start sagging, and the skin becomes less smooth and supple.
In particular, these age-related changes affect the fat pads in the cheeks, leading to a loss of volume and reduced prominence of the mid-face. The hollowed and flattened cheeks give the face a tired and old appearance. Moreover, the development of fine lines and wrinkles in this area adds to the aging appearance of the face.
One way to address these concerns is with a surgical facelift. However, there is also a non-surgical, minimally-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that can help correct these problems. Keep reading to learn more about Juvederm Voluma, a dermal filler that has been specially developed to volumize and contour the cheeks. Find out how Juvederm Voluma can essentially provide you with a mid-face lift without going under the knife.

What is Juvederm Voluma?
Juvederm Voluma is an injectable hyaluronic acid dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally found throughout the body. It is present in especially high concentrations in the skin. HA gives the skin a supple, hydrated appearance. Juvederm Voluma is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler from the well-known Juvederm family.
How does it work?
Juvederm Voluma works by restoring the effects of aging in the cheeks and chin. It is injected into the treatment area and instantly fills up lost volume with a natural substance – hyaluronic acid. What’s more, because hyaluronic acid is a hydrophilic (i.e., it likes water) substance, it pulls moisture into the treated area, giving the skin a more hydrated and supple appearance. Juvederm Voluma filler also encourages the formation of new collagen and elastin in the skin. Voluma acts in multiple ways to rejuvenate the face and give it a more youthful appearance.

What parts of the face can Juvederm Voluma be used?
As the name suggests, Voluma is a volumizing dermal filler. It is placed deep inside the skin, at the level of the bone in the cheek and chin area. It helps to correct volume loss and lift the mid-face to give it more definition.
While the filler itself is placed in the upper part of the cheeks, Juvederm Voluma helps to pull up sagging tissues in the lower face as well. This aids in correcting problems such as marionette lines, deep nasolabial folds, and jowls, essentially resulting in a mid-face non-surgical rejuvenation.

How to prepare for Juvederm Voluma?
Before recommending Juvederm Voluma dermal filler to you, our medical team will perform a throughout evaluation, including obtaining a health history and medication list and performing a physical examination.
The consultation is a good time to discuss your facial concerns with our team. This allows us to recommend the most appropriate treatment options for you.
What happens during a Voluma treatment?
Your provider will begin your Juvederm Voluma treatment by cleansing your skin. They may apply some topical anesthetic (numbing cream) to reduce any discomfort from the filler injections. Voluma XC contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, along with hyaluronic acid, so additional numbing cream is not required. The procedure itself is relatively quick and usually takes less than 30 minutes to perform.
What is the recovery like after Voluma?
Juvederm Voluma is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment with no downtime. You can go home immediately after your treatment and return to all normal activities. You will need to avoid activities that can require putting any pressure on the treated area for a few days. This is to prevent the filler from moving into areas not part of your original treatment.
What Voluma results can I expect?
Juvederm Voluma is becoming increasingly popular because it instantly restores volume and gives very natural-looking results. You can expect a softer, smoother, younger-looking face with reduced fine lines and laxity and correction of volume loss. The majority of patients (95%) report being delighted or happy with their Voluma results, including overall smoothness and lift achieved with only minor discomfort during the office procedure.
The volume in your cheeks will be noticeably improved immediately after your Voluma treatment. The full effects of the filler will be visible after about 2 weeks once the hyaluronic acid has settled in the tissues and side effects like minor swelling and redness have subsided.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance, so the body breaks it down over time. For this reason, your Voluma hyaluronic acid filler results will be long-lasting but not permanent. Most patients retain the results of Juvederm Voluma XC for about 2 years. However, this can vary from person to person.

What are the risks and side effects of Juvederm Voluma?
When performed by a licensed medical provider with experience in dermal filler treatments, Juvederm Voluma is very safe. However, like any cosmetic treatment, it carries some risks. Common side effects of Voluma include temporary redness, minor pain, swelling, and itching at the injection sites. There may occasionally be some discoloration, firmness, or the formation of lumps or bumps.
People who have known allergies to hyaluronic acid or any of the other ingredients in Voluma should not undergo this filler treatment. The treatments are not recommended in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Clients taking blood thinners and NSAID medications (ibuprofen, aspirin) should inform their doctor because these medicines are associated with a higher risk of bleeding with injection treatments.
Is Juvederm Voluma right for me?
Juvederm Voluma is a safe and effective treatment for people who have mid-face laxity, volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles. Our medical team will examine your skin and determine whether it is the best treatment option for you. A combination of dermal fillers may be recommended to best address your concerns and help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
