Juvederm Voluma XC
Juvederm Voluma is one of the most popular FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. It was specifically designed to address signs of aging on the cheeks. Common mid-face signs of aging include fine lines, skin laxity, and volume loss that develop as the skin’s collagen and hyaluronic acid naturally break down over time. When expertly injected by a board-certified dermatologist, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, such as Juvederm Voluma, replenish facial volume and reduce other signs of aging, providing a natural-looking, long-lasting, more youthful appearance. Dr. Michele Green was among the first dermatologists in New York City to incorporate Juvederm Voluma into her patients’ customized treatment plans. She uses Juvederm Voluma daily in her private dermatology practice, which has proven to be an optimal cosmetic treatment for facial rejuvenation.
Juvederm Voluma XC is a technologically advanced hyaluronic acid formulation suitable for anyone with skin laxity and volume loss, regardless of skin type. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar complex in the skin that retains water, contributing to a supple, youthful appearance. As we age, our bodies produce less hyaluronic acid, and we cannot replace what is lost. By injecting a sophisticated hyaluronic acid dermal filler, such as Juvederm Voluma XC, into the skin, we can replace lost facial volume, enhance and contour facial features, and restore a more youthful appearance. Juvederm Voluma injections offer an excellent alternative to a facelift, enabling patients to achieve youthful fullness with minimal downtime or side effects, particularly when administered by an expert injector like Dr. Green.
Dr. Michele Green is an internationally renowned board-certified dermatologist with over two and a half decades of experience providing some of the world’s most discerning individuals with the best non-invasive cosmetic treatments, including hyaluronic acid dermal fillers such as Juvederm Voluma. Dr. Green takes a holistic approach and embraces a less-is-more philosophy in facial rejuvenation, tailoring each patient’s treatment plan to their individual needs. Dr. Green was among the first dermatologists in NYC to offer cosmetic Juvederm injections and is an Allergan platinum injector. Dr. Green has been voted one of New York City’s top healthcare providers by such publications as New York Magazine, Super Doctors, and Castle Connolly. When you consult with Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, she will work with you to construct a personalized rejuvenation plan that caters to your concerns and aesthetic goals.
What is Juvederm Voluma?
Juvederm Voluma is a dermal filler designed to restore youthful facial volume and reduce signs of aging in the cheeks. This unique dermal filler was first approved by the FDA in 2013 and is now one of the most popular fillers in the Juvederm family. The main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar in the skin that supports hydration and a supple, youthful appearance. In addition to hyaluronic acid, Juvederm Voluma also contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic that enhances patient comfort. The creators of Juvederm Voluma, Allergan, formulated it with Vycross technology to deliver dermal fillers that lift and restore volume loss in the face. This unique Vycross technology allows Juvederm Voluma XC to deliver amazing, immediate, and natural results.
Compared with other Juvederm fillers, Juvederm Voluma incorporates Allergan’s innovative Vycross technology, delivering a dramatic lift with unparalleled longevity. With this advanced technology, Juvederm Voluma ranks among the thickest Juvederm fillers, just below Juvederm Volux. The added thickness allows Juvederm Voluma to plump the cheeks and enhance the chin effectively. In clinical studies, patients reported that treatment with Juvederm Voluma significantly enhanced their overall appearance. In just minutes, expert injectors like Dr. Green can restore lost facial volume, refine contours, and achieve a more youthful look. This immediate and enduring lift is a distinctive result of Juvederm Voluma XC injections.
Who makes Voluma?
Juvederm Voluma, part of the popular Juvederm family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, was developed and manufactured by Allergan Aesthetics, a global pharmaceutical company and a subsidiary of AbbVie. The Juvederm collection comprises a variety of hyaluronic acid fillers that can be used across the face to correct smile lines, restore hollow cheeks, reduce under-eye circles, and plump the lips, among other applications. This collection includes Juvederm Voluma, Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm Vollure XC, Juvederm Volbella, and others. When you consult with Dr. Green about your filler treatment, she will recommend the best filler or combination of fillers to achieve the rejuvenation results you desire.
What is Juvederm Voluma used for?
Juvederm Voluma XC is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler FDA-approved to restore midface volume loss, augment the chin, and correct temple hollowing. The thick consistency of Juvederm Voluma XC injectable gel makes it well-suited for areas of the face that require additional support. One of the first signs of aging is midface volume loss, and Juvederm Voluma can effectively plump the cheeks, restoring a more youthful appearance. Patients with a “weak” or receding chin may find that their jawline keeps them from achieving their ideal facial profile. Chin augmentation with Juvederm Voluma XC is a popular option for those seeking to enhance chin projection for a perfectly contoured jawline. With Juvederm Voluma XC injectable gel, Dr. Green can inject the filler deep into the chin to add definition and volume, improving the facial profile. In the past, plastic surgery was often the only option for correcting age-related volume loss in the cheeks and for achieving chin augmentation. Now, however, dermal fillers like Juvederm Voluma are used by expert injectors to give an “instant lift” to the skin, restore midface volume loss, and provide an overall more youthful appearance, increasing the accessibility of total facial rejuvenation and eliminating downtime.
What is Juvederm Voluma made of?
Juvederm Voluma is a sophisticated dermal filler designed to restore youthful volume to the midface. It is primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that attracts and retains moisture, thereby enhancing skin hydration and elasticity. With its unique formulation, Juvederm Voluma delivers immediate, natural-looking results that restore key facial contours and enhance lift, creating a more youthful profile. A key feature of Juvederm Voluma is its inclusion of lidocaine, a local anesthetic that significantly improves patient comfort during injections, making the experience more pleasant for individuals seeking treatment. The filler uses Vycross technology, a revolutionary process that combines low- and high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acids to enable smoother application and longer-lasting results than traditional fillers. As a result, patients can expect the effects of Juvederm Voluma to last up to two years, making it an appealing option for those seeking to rejuvenate their appearance with minimal downtime or recovery.

Who is a good candidate for Juvederm Voluma injections?
A person aged 21 or older and in overall good health may be a suitable candidate for Juvederm Voluma XC injections. Ideal candidates for Juvederm Voluma are those experiencing volume loss, sagging skin, or a weak chin, or those who simply wish to enhance their facial features further. Patients should not be pregnant or breastfeeding, as safety has not been established in these cases. If you have a history of severe allergic reactions, an allergy to gram-positive bacterial proteins used to create hyaluronic acid, or an allergy to lidocaine, you may not be a suitable candidate for Juvederm treatment. Any bleeding disorders or medications that interfere with clotting should be discussed with Dr. Green prior to treatment.
Where is Juvederm used?
Many patients wonder, “Where can Juvederm Voluma be injected?” Juvederm Voluma is FDA-approved for use in the mid-face, chin, and temples. Juvederm Voluma is primarily injected into the cheeks and chin to enhance facial contours and restore volume. In the cheeks, this filler adds lift and fullness, creating a more youthful appearance by addressing volume loss often associated with aging. For the lower face, Juvederm Voluma can be injected into the chin to define the jawline and create a more balanced, harmonious facial profile. Volume loss in the midface is a common sign of aging that can be easily corrected with Voluma injections. This improves contouring and can lift sagging jowls, creating a more youthful appearance. Injections of Juvederm Voluma into the cheeks rank among the most popular cosmetic procedures performed at Dr. Green’s private dermatology office in NYC, thanks to consistently stunning results. In June 2020, Juvederm Voluma XC was FDA-approved for chin augmentation. Chin augmentation with Juvederm Voluma yields cosmetic results comparable to those achieved with a chin implant, without the need for plastic surgery or downtime. Depending on a patient’s facial anatomy and desired outcomes, Dr. Green may recommend a combination of dermal fillers to achieve optimal results. In March 2024, Voluma received FDA approval for the correction of temple hollowing caused by age-related volume loss.
What to expect during a Juvederm Voluma treatment?
The first step in receiving Juvederm Voluma injections is to consult a board-certified dermatologist, such as Dr. Green in NYC. During an initial cosmetic consultation with Dr. Green in her private dermatology office, you will have the opportunity to discuss your skin concerns, and Dr. Green will review your complete medical history, surgical history, and any previous cosmetic treatments. Dr. Green will then physically assess the potential treatment areas. Dr. Green will discuss which facial features you would like to treat and the available treatment options. Dr. Green will explain all treatments, including the number of syringes and the type of Juvederm dermal filler required. This ensures a thorough understanding of both the expected results from your treatment and the total treatment cost before the procedure is performed. The procedure can be performed on the same day as the consultation or scheduled for a later date, depending on your schedule.
On the day of the procedure, apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area one hour before your injections. Upon arrival at Dr. Green’s private dermatology office in NYC for your dermal filler injections, the treatment site will be cleansed and prepared for your cosmetic treatment. Photographs will be taken before your cosmetic procedure for your medical records. Dr. Green will use a very small needle or cannula to inject Juvederm Voluma, using a gentle approach to minimize bruising and discomfort. Ice packs will be applied to the treatment area immediately after the injections to reduce any potential swelling. Dr. Green will provide specific post-treatment aftercare instructions on the day of your appointment. Dr. Green may ask you to return in two weeks to re-evaluate the results and determine whether a touch-up is necessary.

What to expect after Juvederm Voluma XC injections
When you receive Juvederm Voluma filler with an expert injector like Dr. Green, the process is quick and painless. After treatment, you may experience mild side effects, and you will receive aftercare instructions. The most common side effects of dermal filler treatment are mild swelling and bruising at or near the injection sites. Swelling in these areas may resemble small lumps or bumps. Any bumps observed after dermal filler injections should resolve on their own within 1-2 weeks. Other possible side effects may include bruising, redness, and soreness at the treatment site.
In many cases, ice can help reduce swelling or bruising. Patients prone to bruising can take Arnika Forte, an oral herbal supplement known for helping prevent and treat bruising. Arnika can be taken for two days before treatment and for a few days after the fillers. Dr. Green may ask you to return to her private NYC office two weeks after your Juvederm Voluma XC injections to assess the results and determine whether any touch-up is required.
What are the side effects of injectables like Juvederm Voluma?
Juvederm Voluma has only a few side effects. The most common side effects are temporary redness, swelling, lumps, tenderness, discoloration, or bruising at the injection site. Even though a small needle is used to inject the product deep into the dermis, irritation can still occur at the injection site. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness typically resolve within two weeks of injection. Ice packs are applied to the treated area immediately after the dermal filler injections are completed to reduce swelling. To prevent swelling and bruising, patients should discontinue all blood-thinning medications and supplements, including Aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil), and Vitamin E, two weeks before their filler treatment. Juvederm Voluma injections should not be performed on pregnant or breastfeeding patients. Two other potential side effects are infection and occlusion. If either event occurs, it requires immediate medical attention. Dr. Green may ask you to return to her boutique dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side two weeks after your dermal filler treatment to evaluate your cosmetic results and determine whether any touch-up is needed.
How many syringes of Juvederm Voluma for cheeks?
When considering Juvederm Voluma to enhance the cheeks, the number of syringes needed can vary widely based on individual factors such as facial structure, volume loss, and personal aesthetic goals. Most patients receive 1 to 2 syringes per session. However, each person’s needs are unique, and the ideal amount may differ. For example, some individuals may require more volume for a fuller look, while others might need less for a subtle enhancement. It’s highly recommended to consult with a board-certified dermatologist for the best results. Dr. Green will assess your anatomy, discuss your desired outcomes, and develop a treatment plan tailored to you, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.
Are Juvederm Voluma fillers safe?
Juvederm Voluma is a safe and effective treatment for correcting midface volume loss and enhancing the chin. Like the other Juvederm fillers, it is FDA-approved. When the FDA approves a product, it has undergone rigorous research and trials and is deemed safe and effective for its intended purpose. As such, Juvederm fillers are very safe when administered by an experienced, board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. The risk of an adverse reaction increases when an inexperienced injector, such as a nurse injector at a Medspa, performs the injections. Be sure to thoroughly research your injector before scheduling an appointment to ensure you receive treatment from a board-certified, experienced practitioner. For the safest procedure, always consult with an expert injector like Dr. Michele Green, who values patient safety and satisfaction above all else. Juvederm injections should be avoided by patients with a history of allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) or an allergy to lidocaine. During your initial consultation with Dr. Green, be sure to disclose your medical history, including any allergies.
How long does Juvederm Voluma last?
Juvederm Voluma is a long-lasting yet temporary treatment that offers a safe and effective alternative to plastic surgery for addressing midface volume loss and augmenting the chin. After initial injections, results in the cheeks can last up to two years. When used on the chin, results last up to one year. Because Juvederm Voluma is formulated with Vycross cross-linking technology, it can last longer than other hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. The duration of cosmetic results may also be influenced by the patient’s metabolism and the amount of dermal filler used. When you consult with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Green at her private office in NYC, she will work with you to develop a timeline for your dermal filler injections that delivers long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Can you combine Juvederm Voluma with other procedures?
Many patients with midface volume loss also exhibit dynamic fine lines and facial skin laxity, common signs of aging skin. These patients often combine their filler with other non-invasive procedures for overall rejuvenation. The most common treatments paired with Juvederm Voluma are Thermage and Fraxel.
The Thermage treatment employs radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin. It is considered the gold standard for laser skin tightening, promoting new collagen production with minimal downtime. The latest version, Thermage FLX, offers faster, more precise treatment. This laser treatment can be administered to various body areas, including the face, neck, abdomen, arms, and legs, to improve skin laxity. Thermage works by heating the dermis with radiofrequency energy, stimulating collagen production that reinforces the skin’s natural support structure, ultimately leading to tighter skin. Results can last up to 2 years, and most patients opt for an annual Thermage session to maintain optimal results. When volume loss leads to sagging, lax skin, Dr. Green often combines dermal filler injections with Thermage treatment.
Fraxel is a skin-resurfacing laser treatment often referred to as the ‘magic eraser’ by Dr. Green for its ability to target a wide range of skin concerns. It is often recommended for patients with sun damage because it can enhance skin tone and texture. This treatment addresses various skin issues, including sun spots, unwanted hyperpigmentation, fine lines, deep wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, enlarged pores, acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. The Fraxel Dual laser utilized by Dr. Green operates on two distinct wavelengths of light. The 1550 nm wavelength effectively targets fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, while the 1927 nm wavelength treats sun damage and hyperpigmentation. Most patients experience mild side effects, such as swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treatment area, which typically last about two days. For optimal results, many patients need a series of at least three treatment sessions, each spaced one month apart.
Can Juvederm Voluma be combined with injectables like Botox?
Yes! Juvederm Voluma and Botox are often used together to treat multiple signs of aging at once. Botox and dermal fillers, such as Juvederm Voluma, are both highly effective cosmetic treatments for facial rejuvenation. Still, they address slightly different needs in restoring a more youthful appearance. Botox is one of the most popular non-invasive injectable treatments in the United States and is the gold standard for preventing and eliminating dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are fine lines that develop over time from repeated facial movements during expressions. Botox is a neuromodulator injected into muscles to reduce their contractions, resulting in smooth, wrinkle-free skin. Fine lines and wrinkles that are not related to active facial expressions, as well as sagging and volume loss, are best treated with a dermal filler like Juvederm. Many patients receive Botox and dermal filler injections during the same appointment to target age-related and dynamic fine lines and volume loss in the cheeks.
Is Juvederm Voluma worth it?
Many individuals experiencing volume loss in the cheeks and facial structure find Juvederm Voluma a worthwhile investment. This dermal filler delivers immediate, noticeable results, restoring youthful contours and enhancing facial symmetry. Patients often report feeling more comfortable and confident in their appearance after treatment, as it effectively addresses signs of aging and creates a more rejuvenated look. The product is designed to add volume and lift to the midface, making it a popular choice for those seeking non-surgical cosmetic enhancements.
Juvederm Ultra Plus XC vs Juvederm Voluma XC
The Juvederm family includes several hyaluronic acid gel dermal fillers in varying thicknesses, allowing expert injectors like Dr. Green to deliver pan-facial rejuvenation results without downtime. Juvederm Voluma is ideal for addressing signs of aging in the cheeks and enhancing the chin. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is primarily used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and folds, such as the nasolabial folds (also known as the laugh lines). Juvederm Ultra Plus is a thinner filler that smooths lines, whereas Juvederm Voluma adds volume and plumps. Ultimately, the dermal filler that works best for facial rejuvenation in each patient will vary depending on factors such as facial anatomy and desired cosmetic outcome.
Juvederm Volbella vs Juvederm Voluma
Juvederm Volbella XC is primarily used for lip enhancement, addressing fine lines around the mouth, and correcting under-eye hollows. Juvederm Volbella is among the thinnest fillers in the Juvederm collection, designed to deliver smooth, natural-looking lip volume with subtle results. Conversely, Juvederm Voluma is one of the thickest fillers, specifically designed to enhance the cheeks and chin. No Juvederm filler is inherently “better” than another; each serves a slightly different purpose. Therefore, it is crucial to identify which filler aligns best with your aesthetic goals. During your consultation with Dr. Green, she will review your unique needs and recommend the most suitable cosmetic options.
Juvederm Voluma FAQs
Which Juvederm for cheeks?
When enhancing the cheeks, Juvederm Voluma is often the preferred choice among practitioners. This formulation has a slightly thicker consistency than other Juvederm products, making it ideal for adding significant volume to the midface. Juvederm Voluma is designed to address age-related volume loss, restoring a youthful contour and giving the cheeks a natural, lifted appearance. Its seamless integration with facial tissue creates a natural, refreshed aesthetic. Additionally, the results typically last longer than with other fillers, with effects lasting up to two years in many patients. It’s important to consult with a qualified professional to determine the best approach for achieving your desired look while ensuring safety and effectiveness.
How to inject Juvederm Voluma?
The process of injecting Voluma begins with a comprehensive consultation to determine whether this dermal filler is the most suitable option for your individual needs. During this initial meeting, Dr. Michele Green will gather a detailed medical history and conduct a thorough examination of the areas you wish to enhance. Once your aesthetic goals have been discussed, a customized treatment plan will be developed for you. To ensure your comfort during the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area, typically one hour before the injections. This helps minimize any discomfort you may experience. After anesthetic application, the skin is meticulously cleansed and sanitized to maintain a sterile environment, which is crucial for minimizing the risk of infection. After these preparatory steps, Dr. Green will carefully administer the Voluma injections, targeting the areas of concern to achieve the desired volume and contour. Immediately after the injections, a cold pack is applied to the treated area. This helps reduce swelling and minimize bruising, promoting a smoother recovery. While the results are visible immediately, the fillers may take up to two weeks to fully settle, allowing the final results to emerge.
Is Voluma a good filler?
Yes! Juvederm Voluma is an excellent option for those seeking to add volume to their cheeks and enhance the appearance of their chin. Some patients wish to correct age-related volume loss, while others seek to enhance their cheekbones. Both goals can be easily achieved with Juvederm Voluma. This hyaluronic acid filler, approved by the FDA in 2013, is among the most popular dermal fillers for good reason. It’s a safe, effective, and simple treatment for addressing age-related midface volume loss and increasing chin projection. Many patients opt for annual touch-up treatments to maintain the consistently stunning results from this well-loved filler.
Which Juvederm filler is best for lips?
Each Juvederm dermal filler in the Juvederm family has a unique composition and consistency and is designed for use in different facial anatomical areas. Juvederm Voluma is ideal for the midface and chin. Juvederm Volbella and Juvederm Ultra Plus are dermal fillers within the Juvederm family specifically designed for lip augmentation. Their formulas are smooth, silky, and light, making them ideal for natural-looking and feeling lip augmentation results. Juvederm Voluma XC is a thick dermal filler, ideal for adding volume to the cheek area, not the lips. The thick consistency of Juvederm Voluma would produce less-than-ideal lip augmentation results. Each Juvederm injectable hyaluronic acid gel has a different formula and thickness, making it optimal for a specific area of the face. An experienced injector, such as Dr. Green, understands which dermal fillers are most appropriate for each area of the face and body to achieve total rejuvenation and consistently stunning results. When you consult with Dr. Green regarding your lip augmentation, she will determine the best dermal filler to provide you with the cosmetic results you desire.
How long does it take for Juvederm Voluma to settle?
While some results are visible immediately, Juvéderm Voluma takes about 2 weeks to fully settle and reveal its cosmetic results. When the filler “settles,” it integrates with the skin tissue in the treatment area, allowing the full effect of Juvéderm Voluma to become visible. During this time, patients may experience mild side effects such as swelling, bruising, or redness. Immediately after your cosmetic injections, Dr. Green applies ice packs to the treated area to minimize swelling. You will be instructed to avoid blood thinners, such as ibuprofen, for several days. Avoid direct sunlight, saunas, and steam rooms for the next two weeks to prevent additional swelling. Dr. Green may ask you to return in two weeks to re-evaluate the results and determine whether a touch-up is necessary.
How long does Juvederm Voluma last?
Juvederm Voluma injections are a long-lasting yet temporary treatment. Depending on the injection site, Voluma can last one to two years. Results in the chin typically last about 1 year, while results in the cheeks can last up to 2 years. However, many patients opt for annual maintenance sessions to maintain consistently stunning results. When you consult with Dr. Green about your dermal filler treatment, she will work with you to develop a treatment timeline to achieve your desired results.
How long does it take Voluma to work?
Juvederm Voluma is an effective treatment that can deliver results almost immediately. Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume to correct facial hollows and sagging skin right away. Patients enjoy a more youthful appearance immediately after the procedure. As Juvederm Voluma settles, the final result of the injection will become visible. The final results will be visible after two weeks, as swelling subsides and the filler settles. After Voluma has settled, patients enjoy cosmetic results for up to 2 years.
Will Juvederm Voluma bumps go away?
One potential side effect of Juvederm Voluma injections is swelling or bumps at the treatment site. This is normal and should resolve on its own in the weeks following the injections. Avoid putting pressure on or massaging the treatment area, and allow the Juvederm to settle naturally. If persistent nodules do not resolve within two weeks of your Juvederm injections, contact your injector and schedule a follow-up appointment for assessment. Persistent bumps can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. Depending on the type of dermal filler used initially, multiple hyaluronidase treatments may be required to fully dissolve it. The best way to prevent the development of persistent bumps after Juvederm injections is to consult a board-certified dermatologist and expert injector, such as Dr. Green.
How much is Juvederm Voluma?
Many patients wonder, “How much is a syringe of Juvederm Voluma?” The price of Juvederm Voluma will depend on the amount of filler used and the injector’s experience level. Patients seeking treatment for both the cheeks and the chin typically need more filler than those seeking treatment for only one area. Additionally, depending on the desired aesthetic results and the extent of volume loss, patients may require more syringes of filler. Generally, having the procedure performed by a more experienced, board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon will be more expensive than having it done by a nurse injector. However, the risk of developing unwanted cosmetic results and severe side effects, such as product migration, is significantly lower when you choose treatment from an experienced injector. On juvederm.com, there is a loyalty program called allē that helps you find a provider, earn points on products and treatments, and get exclusive member offers that may affect the price of your Juvederm Voluma treatment.
1 month before and after Juvederm Voluma
Can Juvederm Voluma contour the jawline?
Voluma can be used in the chin to enhance the jawline and create a more contoured appearance. Although it’s primarily designed to add volume to the mid-face and cheeks, its dense, lifting formulation also makes it suitable for enhancing and defining the chin. When strategically injected along the central jawbone, Voluma can create a more sculpted, youthful appearance by improving facial balance and reducing the appearance of jowls or sagging skin. In addition to Voluma injections for chin augmentation, patients interested in non-surgical jawline contouring can also consider Botox, Kybella, CoolSculpting, or Thermage. During your consultation with Dr. Green, she will help you determine which combination of non-surgical treatment options will yield optimal, natural-looking, and long-lasting results.
How long does Juvederm Voluma last in the cheeks?
Juvederm Voluma is a long-lasting treatment option for enhancing the midface and chin. The hyaluronic acid filler is among the longest-lasting on the market for restoring volume loss in the cheeks. Results in the cheeks can last up to 2 years post-treatment. The unique hyaluronic acid formulation of Juvederm Voluma promotes high moisture retention, resulting in hydrated skin, and supports natural proteins like collagen and elastin for long-lasting results. As such, even after the body absorbs hyaluronic acid, collagen production continues, maintaining a contoured, smooth, and youthful midface appearance. When you consult Dr. Green, she will determine the Juvederm Voluma treatment schedule that best fits your needs and helps you maintain the desired appearance over time.
How long does Juvederm Voluma last in the chin?
When Voluma is used to enhance the chin, it provides long-lasting yet temporary results. Juvederm Voluma is FDA-approved for sculpting and augmenting the chin to achieve the ideal facial contour. When injected deep against the bone, the filler improves chin projection and shape. Results from Juvederm Voluma in the chin are expected to last one year. The Juvederm Voluma treatment for the chin can be repeated annually to maintain results. When you consult Dr. Green, she will determine the chin augmentation treatment schedule that best fits your needs and helps you maintain the desired appearance over time.
Does Juvederm Voluma migrate?
Juvederm Voluma is known for adding volume and contour to the face, particularly in the cheeks and chin. When administered correctly by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon, Juvederm Voluma does not migrate from the injection site. However, improper injection can cause migration, underscoring the importance of choosing a skilled injector with a strong understanding of facial anatomy. Post-procedure care is crucial to maintaining the desired results. Avoid applying significant pressure to the treated areas, especially during skincare routines. Gentle handling can help prevent the filler from shifting. Additionally, facial massages and other manipulative treatments should be postponed for at least a few weeks after the injection. This precaution helps minimize the risk of moving the filler and ensures it settles properly in the desired areas for optimal results.
Does Juvederm Voluma expand?
Juvederm Voluma is known to expand slightly in the days following the initial injection. This swelling occurs because the product’s hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture from surrounding tissues. This unique property contributes to a fuller, more plump appearance in the treated areas, enhancing facial contours such as the cheeks and jawline. Typically, the most noticeable plumping effect appears within the first few days, as the product integrates into the tissue and optimally hydrates the skin. This process is essential to achieving a natural-looking enhancement that lasts for several months.
Which is better, Voluma or Juvederm?
Many patients ask, “Is Voluma the same as Juvederm?” Yes, Juvederm Voluma is a specific dermal filler within the Juvederm family of hyaluronic acid fillers. The Juvederm family of dermal fillers can treat different parts of the face, including the cheeks, lips, jawline, nasolabial folds, and under the eyes. Juvederm Voluma has a thicker consistency than most other Juvederm fillers and is ideal for cheek injections to provide a lifting effect. An expert injector, such as board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green in NYC, should work with you to select the “best” filler for your facial rejuvenation treatment. Various dermal fillers have distinct properties and applications, enabling Dr. Green to create customized treatment plans tailored to an individual’s needs and aesthetic goals.
