Juvederm® Voluma XC
JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC is one of the newest hyaluronic acid, or HA, facial volumizers. It can be used to restore volume in the cheeks, cheekbones, and chin, as well as to add definition to the jawline. The main purpose of Voluma is to provide patients with a more youthful, symmetrical appearance. By adding volume to areas such as the cheeks and mid-face, it lifts sagging skin and reduces the appearance of nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Its ability to increase collagen production helps enhance skin texture, improve skin hydration, and restore skin elasticity to combat visible signs of aging.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) very recently approved JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC for the temporary correction of age-related volume loss in the cheek area in adults over the age of 21. This is a huge victory for the cosmetic industry as it is the first and only dermal filler that is FDA-approved to modify growth-related volume loss in the cheeks.


How Is JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC Different From Other Products?
JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC was made to be softer than other HA facial volumizers, making it simpler to use and ensuring an even, youthful appearance and smooth texture. JUVÉDERM® injectable gels get marked with an “XC” if they contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic and numbing agent that helps minimize pain or discomfort during the injection.
This product is meant to reinstate absent facial volume, whether from aging or extreme weight loss. Although wrinkle fillers like JUVEDERM® ULTRA present outstanding outcomes when put on minute lines, fine lines, or creases, JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC is frequently better suited for larger degrees of facial volumizing. It also differs from other JUVEDERM® products due to its thickness and because it is intended for a deep dermis injection, resulting in total skin rejuvenation.
JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC has been used successfully in England and Canada for several years as a facial volumizer. JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC has already proven itself as an excellent facial volumizer but has the advantage of being reversible unlike other volumizers available today.
FAQs
Who Should Use JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC?
The best candidates for JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC are those who have lost volume in parts of the face due to aging, extreme weight loss, or medical issues such as facial ptosis (drooping). The special design results in serious facial volumizing, as opposed to the lifting or filling that other JUVEDERM® products can give. Speak with an injector in our South Florida cosmetic dermatology practice to find out if you’re a good candidate for JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC.
HOW LONG DOES JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC LAST?
JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC is known for its long-lasting, natural-looking results. Volume enhancement and facial contouring can last anywhere from up to 18 months to 2 years. The duration of results can vary based on factors such as the patient’s age, skin type, skincare routine, lifestyle, and the area treated. Regular touch-up treatments can help maintain your results for years to come.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF JUVEDERM?
Common side effects of JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, soreness, and changes in skin texture at the injection site. However, patients can enjoy minimal downtime. To minimize risks, follow our post-treatment care guidelines, avoid strenuous exercise or sun exposure, and apply ice packs to reduce swelling.
