Plump, lift, and restore lost volume with Juvederm Voluma XC.

Injections of Voluma are made in the surgeon’s office. For most patients the procedure takes only about 15 to 20 minutes without anesthesia. If preferred, arrangements can be made to increase comfort during treatment. Since hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, allergy testing is not necessary. All skin types can benefit.

Essentially, there is no downtime. Immediately after leaving the Clevens Face and Body Specialists, patients can head back to work, go shopping, run errands, or whatever else it is they would normally be doing. Some patients are more sensitive than others and will see temporary side effects after the procedure. Injections of Voluma may lead to redness, bruising, and mild swelling. Tenderness, lumps, discoloration, and itching are also side effects that can possibly occur. Side effects will fade within 2 to 4 weeks and the only noticeable results will be enviably youthful cheeks.

Juvederm Voluma is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid, making it more viscous and able to last longer. It is currently approved and intended for correction of volume loss in the cheeks. The original Juvederm is also a hyaluronic acid, but is not as “thick.” It is often used to enhance the lips and lines around the mouth. The results will last about 12 months compared to Voluma’s 24-month span.
