Juvederm^® Voluma

While losing volume in the middle of the face is one of the most common signs of aging, it’s a hard to treat condition. Midface volume loss is the result of the gradual decrease in the size of the fat pads on the face, along with the skin losing volume and structure. Volume loss in the middle of the face leads to sunken, sagging, and less well-defined cheeks. Even if the only culprit was genetics, sunken cheeks can make someone look much older than they really are. In this day and age, contoured, sharper cheekbones are much more alluring than flattened cheeks. To restore youthful volume, patients can be treated with Juvederm^® Voluma, a dermal filler from the Juvederm^® line made especially for lifting and contouring the cheeks.

The Science Behind Juvederm^® Voluma

This formula consists of hyaluronic acid, a type of sugar that’s responsible for keeping the skin nourished and hydrated. Hyaluronic acid is also essential for stabilizing and binding the structures of elastic and collagen, the proteins in your skin that lends it qualities of youthfulness and firmness.

With the use of using Vycross™ technology, the Voluma mixture combines hyaluronic acid particles of different molecular weights, so the gel is incredibly durable and long-lasting. While the solution’s sturdy structure makes it optimal for lifting large areas like the cheeks, its formulation allows the results to look soft and natural. Voluma is injected deep under the dermis, almost directly above your facial bones. With this application method, results are that much more predictable and effective. The advanced formula can nourish the essential components of the skin while providing instant lift and precise contouring.
