Modesto Aesthetics and Laser
As we age, our skin gradually loses volume in the face including areas of the jawline and cheeks. With diminished fullness our face tends to sag and wrinkle. We start to lose the look of youthfulness. There is now an injectable treatment to fix sagging skin and contour your profile. Juvederm Voluma XC is an FDA-approved dermal filler.
Voluma XC is injected into the areas where natural volume is lost. Once injected, areas of the cheeks are lifted and contoured. It can even be injected into the jawline to help minimize the look of a double chin and will refine the profile to balance out the face. Patients love their younger and fuller profile. The filler not only contours it also dramatically removes or decreases lines and wrinkles. Another fantastic thing about Voluma XC, it is non-surgical, and results last up to two years. Most individuals, have more confidence and love their fresh look, although they still look like themselves, just younger.
What Is Voluma XC Filler?
Voluma XC is a member of the Juvéderm Family of Fillers from Allergan. It is the first FDA-approved injectable filler made specifically for volume loss in areas of the cheeks and chin. The filler is a clear injectable gel containing hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance found in the body. Our face craves hyaluronic acid because it slowly decreases as we age, along with the natural depletion of collagen. It is just part of the aging process. Voluma XC helps stimulate collagen and the hyaluronic acid builds volume.
What To Expect During Your Filler Treatment
Your medical provider will use a topical numbing cream at the start of your appointment, and then inject the dermal filler into your problematic areas. Once injected, you will see the results of restored fullness immediately.
What Other Issues Can Voluma XC Help?
We have talked about how Voluma XC helps contour and add volume to areas of the cheeks chin, and jawline, yet you can use it for other problem areas. Nurse aesthetic injectors also use Voluma XC in the following areas:
- Deep facial lines around the nose
- Deep facial lines around the mouth
- Adding volume to areas under the eye
- Restoring volume to the corners of the mouth that tend sag
- Contouring and building up the chin
.
Is There Downtime with Voluma XC Treatment?
There may be a small amount of swelling and bruising that usually resolves within a few days. After the treatment, patients should not exercise and should avoid heat and sun exposure for at least 24 hours after Voluma XC injections to minimize the risk of swelling and bruising.
