If you’re like most people, it’s hard not to notice the effects that aging can have on the appearance of your face. Essentially, as time marches on, it can cause your face to sag, giving a less youthful, drooping appearance. While in the past the only option many had was an invasive facelift procedure, times have changed and new non-invasive options are better than ever before. One of the best ways to do this is through the use of injectable fillers. Juvederm Voluma has become one of the most popular, and is the only filler that is FDA-approved to add volume to the cheek area. By targeting your mid-face for fillers, you can actually see a lift in the bottom half of your face, and give more support to your under eye area for a more youthful profile and appearance. But what is Juvederm Voluma and how does it work?
Juvederm Voluma: Your Friend In The Fight Against Aging
While you have probably already heard about other non-invasive techniques for giving your face a more youthful appearance, one of the hottest names on the market is Juvederm Voluma. This is an injectable hyaluronic acid gel that can add volume to your cheek area, giving the rest of your face a subtle lift. Most people who use Juvederm Voluma notice an instant lift in the rest of their face, including better contouring and a younger-looking profile. Juvederm Voluma was also the first and only injectable gel filler to become FDA approved for non-surgical cheek augmentation.
Though they’re similarly named, Juvederm Voluma is actually different from its sister product, Juvederm XC. While the XC product is mainly used to increase volume and smooth out the folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth, Juvederm Voluma is solely used for adding volume to the cheek area. By adding volume to this area, it provides a subtle, natural-looking lift to the bottom half of your face, as well as offering support to the under eye area. Those who have had the treatment have said that friends and colleagues often say they have a “fresher” appearance, or look “well-rested.”
What You Need To Know
When you make the decision to use Juvederm, there are a few things that I will go over with you. Firstly, Juvederm Voluma is long-lasting, and the effects can last for up to 2 years, making it hugely popular with those looking for a change. Additionally, the results are instantaneous, meaning you don’t have to wait through a healing period to see your new look. I advise that you avoid any medications that could cause you to bleed or bruise more heavily, such as aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs).
A common concern is also the pain factor, as any injection will usually hurt. Fortunately, Juvederm Voluma is specially formulated with Lidocaine to make the injection more comfortable. If you are worried about any possible pain, we can offer a topical cream or anesthetic to numb the area before they begin. Before starting, I will go over a plan with you to determine how much filler you will need in order to achieve the look you desire.
If you’re concerned about your appearance and feel that you’re aging before your time, looking into non-invasive rejuvenation through volume replacement can be a great place to start. I can discuss with you recommendations of what should be done to address your concerns and ensure you come out looking younger and more fresh-faced. By using Juvederm Voluma, you can not only improve your cheek area, but also visibly lift the rest of your face. Visit my Juvederm page to find out more information.
