With age, our skin, fat, muscle and bone tend to lose volume, resulting in a thin or hollow appearance around the chin, eyes, cheeks, and cheekbones. This can be a result of the natural decrease in collagen production within our skin, weight loss, or age-related facial fat, soft tissue and even natural bone loss that occurs with time. Our folds and jowls become more prominent as volume loss and gravity shifts the cheeks downward.
Treatment with Juvéderm Voluma™ XC combats these effects by restoring volume to the face, providing natural contouring, and smoothing out the appearance of wrinkles. The results of Juvéderm Voluma™ XC are immediate and can last for up to 24 months (less dramatic version of baby fat), and it helps restore the hollowing that occurs over time by restoring youthful contours in the cheeks, temples, or even earlobes.

What makes Juvéderm Voluma™ XC different?
Juvéderm Voluma™ XC is also hyaluronic acid filler, but it has a number of special characteristics that make it unique. Most other hyaluronic acid fillers are considered “dermal fillers” meaning that they are more appropriate for injection into the dermal layer of the skin, and they are most effective in relieving lines and smoothing out wrinkles and folds alongside with adding volume. Juvéderm Voluma™ XC is intended for deeper injection, into the subdermal area of the skin, and as such, Juvéderm Voluma™ XC is most effective for adding volume and volumizing the skin (and that is why it is called Juvéderm Voluma™ XC).
Another unique characteristic of Juvéderm Voluma™ XC is that its hyaluronic acid molecules are highly cross-linked resulting in exceptional stability and resilience against degradation and breaking down in the body. This cross-linkage also gives Juvéderm its characteristic texture. Clinical studies have shown that Juvéderm Voluma™ XC can last as long as 2 years which is significantly longer than other hyaluronic acid fillers.
Finally, Juvéderm Voluma™ XC is designed in a way to absorb relatively lesser amounts of water, and hence the undesirable swelling following the injection is minimized.
