Juvederm Voluma XC: The Game-Changing Injectable for Natural Facial Lifting

Juvederm Voluma is Here!

Injectable fillers to reverse the signs of aging have been around for years.  However, we now have a new injectable that has unique lifting properties.  Juvederm Voluma XC injectable gel is the first and only filler FDA-approved to instantly add volume to the cheek area.  It gives a subtle lift, which helps restore a youthful yet natural profile for up to 2 years.  When injections are performed by a skilled injector results can be spectacular.

The Evolution of Injectable Fillers

I have extensive experience with injectable fillers dating back to the late eighties with collagen.  The game changed when Restylane became the first hyaluronic acid filler to gain FDA approval in 2003.  Juvederm followed by gaining FDA approval in 2006 and has become a major player.  These fillers were a major improvement over the collagen fillers that had been available up until 2003. 

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found in your skin.  Aging results in loss of HA which results in the loss of volume and structure. HA fillers, when injected by a skilled and experienced injector, create a natural more youthful appearance.  The goal with fillers is to restore what you have lost and create the best version of yourself. 

Things can go awry when injections are performed by an unskilled injector.  You can end up with a distorted appearance or even worse complications.  The reason most people resist fillers is because they are fearful they will wind up looking freakish and distorted like the “trout pout” or fish lips from poor technique in injecting lips.  This is typical of poorly performed injections.  They are unaware of the people getting great natural looking results with properly performed injections. 

Some would argue that the person performing the injections is more important than the substance being injected.  I believe both are important.

Master Injector Training & Voluma's Unique Lifting Effect

Last month I had the opportunity be one of only 2 physicians chosen from Contra Costa County to be invited to a Master Injector training course for Juvederm Voluma XC.  We had the opportunity to work hand in hand with a plastic surgeon from Brazil who has extensive experience with Juvederm Voluma XC as it has been approved for use in Brazil for years. 

I was amazed at the instant lift we saw with the Voluma injections.  I had not seen this type of lift and fill of the cheeks with a relatively small volume.  We can create a natural lifting and filling of the cheeks with Juvederm Voluma XC.  I believe that Juvederm Voluma XC with its unique lifting properties and duration of up to 2 years will be a “game changer” in aesthetic medicine.
