Wrinkles and lines aren’t the only signs of aging. Over time, the cheeks 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.

At Kessel Dermatology, servicing the Hamilton Square, Trenton, and Mercer County areas in New Jersey, we offer a number of dermal filler options , including Juvederm® Voluma XC.

JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC

Restore Volume and Enhance Facial Contours

Aging affects more than lines and wrinkles. Over time, changes in facial fat, bone, collagen, and other supporting structures can lead to loss of volume and definition in areas such as the cheeks and temples.

JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC by Allergan Aesthetics is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler designed to restore volume and enhance facial contours.

What Is JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC?

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC is an injectable gel made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body.

Its formulation provides structural support and volume beneath the skin, making it useful for areas where contour and projection have been lost or where additional definition is desired.

What Areas Can Be Treated With JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC?

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC is FDA approved for injection in adults for:

• Age-related volume loss in the cheek area
• Improvement of the chin profile
• Moderate to severe temple hollowing

The product can be used to restore age-related volume or enhance facial proportions depending on your individual anatomy and goals.

How Can VOLUMA Improve the Cheeks?

As we age, the cheeks can gradually flatten and lose some of their youthful contour.

VOLUMA can be placed beneath the skin to restore volume and support in the midface, helping improve cheek contour and facial balance.

The amount and location of filler used are customized according to your existing facial structure rather than simply adding volume to the cheeks.

How Can VOLUMA Improve the Chin?

Chin projection plays an important role in overall facial proportions and profile.

VOLUMA can be used to enhance the chin profile in appropriate patients, adding projection or contour where additional structural support is desired.

A chin that appears small or recessed can also affect the perceived proportions of the lips, jawline, and lower face, which is why the entire facial profile should be evaluated when planning treatment.

How Can VOLUMA Improve the Temples?

Volume loss in the temples can contribute to a hollow or more skeletal appearance of the upper face.

VOLUMA can be used to restore volume in the temple region, helping create a smoother transition between the forehead, temples, and cheeks.

Because of the anatomy of this area, careful patient selection and injection technique are particularly important.

How Long Does JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC Last?

The duration of treatment depends on the area treated, amount of product used, and individual patient.

Clinical studies have demonstrated results lasting up to two years in the cheek area.

This does not mean the correction remains unchanged for two years. Filler gradually breaks down over time, so the appearance of the treated area changes as the product is metabolized.

Why Does Injector Experience Matter?

Dermal filler treatment requires an understanding of facial anatomy, vascular anatomy, facial proportions, age-related structural changes, product characteristics, and injection technique.

Our aesthetic medicine expert, Savy Guthrie, MPAS, PA-C, has over 20 years of dermatology experience and extensive experience performing cosmetic injectable treatments.

Treatment is customized according to your anatomy and aesthetic goals with an emphasis on facial balance and natural-looking results.

Is JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC Right for You?

VOLUMA may be an option if you are looking to restore age-related volume or improve contour and proportion in the cheeks, chin, or temples.

The best filler is determined by the area being treated, your anatomy, tissue characteristics, and desired result—not simply by choosing a particular brand.
