What is JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC?
As you age, the cheeks may 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. JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC adds volume beneath the skin's surface, which provides lift and contour to the cheek area.
The addition of lidocaine helps to improve the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain.
How long does JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC last?
JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC provides natural-looking and long-lasting results that last up to 2 years with optimal treatment.
What are the potential side effects of JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC?
The most common side effects included temporary reactions at the treatment site such as tenderness, swelling, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, pain, redness, discoloration, and itching.
