Juvederm Voluma and the Future of Facial Fillers

By: Dr. Christopher Khorsandi

11/9/2015

Are you tired of looking in the mirror and seeing hollowing under your eyes and deepening lines around your cheeks? If so, you may be considering different options to restore your face’s youthful and vibrant appearance. Juvederm Voluma, an innovative injectable gel that has recently been approved by the FDA, may be the right solution for you. There are many ways this gel can take years off your appearance and restore your confidence.

All About Juvederm

Patients often ask about alternatives to facelift surgery, and whether you can get a facelift in a bottle. Juvederm Voluma is a Hyaluronic Acid filler used to fill creases, increase facial volume, and smooth lines under the eyes and in the cheeks. It is similar to the widely popular Juvederm XC injection, which is used to fill in finer wrinkles and to sculpt beautiful lips.  Juvederm Voluma, a thicker version of Juvederm, has a higher “G prime” factor, which means that not only does it stand up more, helping to lift and restore the cheeks, it lasts longer than traditional fillers on the market.  This advanced treatment can be used on eligible candidates ages 21 and older.

Juvederm is Long-Lasting

Unlike other injections that typically last about six months, Juvederm Voluma has been clinically proven to last up to two years. This gives you the full, face-defining cheeks you have always wanted, without requiring injections multiple times per year. As a result, patients who opt for Juvederm Voluma treatment spend less time at the plastic surgeon’s office and more time showing off their beautiful, firm cheeks.

Juvederm Lets You Live Your Life

Another innovate aspect of Juvederm Voluma is that within just twenty-four hours of the initial injection, patients can typically resume their normal and everyday activities. This cuts down the time that it takes to get back to work, school, or other important activities.

Juvederm’s Side Effects are Short-Lived

Those who do experience side effects from Juvederm, such as swelling or tenderness, can enjoy peace of mind in knowing that these effects typically do not last long. Most patients who deal with side effects report they are moderate and last no longer than two to four weeks.

Dr. Christopher Khorsandi sees huge potential for Juvederm Voluma in treating age related volume loss of the face. He is dedicated to becoming one of the leading experts in the field of Voluma skin treatment. Those who are interested in restoring vibrancy and youthfulness to their faces should consult with Dr. Khorsandi at VIP Plastic Surgery to see if Voluma is right for them.
