Juvederm Voluma is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler that adds volume to the cheek area. Voluma gives you a subtle lift, helping to restore contour and a more youthful profile.

How it Works

Juvéderm Voluma® XC can be injected into the cheeks to restore their natural suppleness. A fine needle targets the areas to boost their volume and beautifully contour the face. In a matter of minutes, your skin is restored to a firm, plump state. Your face will be more defined and instantly appear more youthful.

Recovery

Recovery time after Juvederm Voluma is quick, you should be able to return to work and other normal activities the same day. The possibility for side effects does exist, including redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, itching, and more rarely, thickened bumps around the injection area. These should all be temporary, and they will resolve on their own in 1-3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is juvéderm voluma different from juvederm?

Juvederm Voluma works on a different area of the face. Juvederm Voluma smooths out moderate to severe wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth, like parentheses. Juvederm Voluma, however, adds volume to the cheek area. It was developed to give more lift than other hyaluronic acid facial volumizers and results in a smooth, natural look and feel.

What is juvéderm voluma made from?

Juvederm is made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar found in your body. As we grow older, the hyaluronic acid we once produced starts to diminish and facial volume decreases. Gravity pulls the skin down, resulting in folds and sagging. The injected hyaluronic acid combines with the water in your skin to restore lost fullness and smooth out lines and wrinkles.

How long does juvéderm voluma last?

Juvederm Voluma instantly provides a smooth natural-looking lift for the mid-face that is clinically proven to last up to 2 years with optimal treatment.

Are there any side effects from juvéderm voluma?

The most common side effects include, but are not limited to, temporary injection site reactions such as redness, pain, tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps and bruising. As with all skin injection procedures there is a risk of infection. Most side effects are mild or moderate in nature, and their duration is short lasting. Your provider will review your full medical history with you to determine any potential contraindications to the recommended treatment.

Can juvéderm voluma be injected into the lips?

Because Juvederm Voluma is such a thick, viscous product, it is not appropriate for injection into the lips. Other products in the Juvederm family are optimally suited for treatment of the perioral region.

How will I know if juvéderm voluma is right for me?

Your physician will have an in-depth consultation with you to understand your needs and what facial features you would like to enhance. They will explain all the options to make sure that your Juvederm treatment totally satisfies your expectations.
