JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC

 

Dallas Juvederm Voluma XC - Clinique Dallas Plastic Surgery, Medspa and Laser Center

JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC injectable gel instantly adds volume to the cheek area to correct age-related volume loss in adults over 21.

JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC is designed to add volume beneath the skin’s surface to lift and contour the cheek area.

Subtle lift. Beauty breakthrough. Wrinkles and lines aren’t the only signs of aging. Over time, the cheeks flatten, and the skin may begin to sag. This is caused by a natural loss of volume in the cheek area, or what the experts call age-related midface volume loss.

Lift & Contour Cheeks – JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC adds volume to correct age-related volume loss in the cheeks to help create a more youthful appearance.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC injectable gel is a smooth, colorless hyaluronic acid (HA) gel that contains a small quantity of local anesthetic (lidocaine). HA is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body. The role of HA in the skin is to deliver nutrients and help the skin retain its natural moisture and softness. The addition of lidocaine helps to improve the comfort of the injection. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC injectable gel is manufactured using VYCROSS™ technology to give a specialized smooth-gel filler that produces long-lasting results at the treatment site. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is delivered by an injection into the cheek and surrounding area of the mid-face to correct volume and fullness.

As you age, the cheek area loses its youthful shape. The cheeks flatten out and the skin may begin to sag. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC injectable gel is designed to temporarily reverse these signs of aging. It is a gel that is injected into the cheek area to lift the skin. It temporarily adds volume to the cheek area and results in a smoother contour and more youthful appearance to the face.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is indicated for deep (subcutaneous and/or supraperiosteal) injection for cheek augmentation to correct age-related volume deficit in the mid-face in adults over the age of 21.

It is injected into the cheek area using a small needle. It temporarily corrects volume in  the cheek area and gives the appearance of a more youthful, smoother skin surface.
