Juvederm Voluma XC Injections FAQ

Where can Juvederm Voluma be injected?

Juvederm Voluma is an FDA-approved dermal filler injection that adds volume around the cheeks and restores fullness in that area of the face, resulting in a more youthful look. Some of the most common areas for Juvederm Voluma injection include the mid-face, cheeks, temples, chin, and jawline. Juvederm Voluma is particularly useful for treating sunken cheeks and adding volume to the upper arch of the cheekbone. During the procedure, Dr. Rokhsar will administer multiple small doses of the gel implant (dermal filler) into the specific areas of facial tissue. It consists of crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) a naturally occurring substance in our skin and our joints.

How long does Juvederm Voluma last?

The longevity of Juvederm Voluma can vary based on multiple factors, including the amount of filler injected, the depth of injection, the patient’s metabolism, and the quality of their skin. The consensus from most board-certified dermatologists is that Juvederm Voluma can last between 12 to 24 months, with some studies claiming that it can even last up to two years in certain cases. The duration of results may vary depending on the individual patient and the injector’s technique. The FDA has allowed Allergan, the makers of Voluma, to claim in their online and print marketing materials that Voluma lasts up to 2 years.

How much is Juvederm Voluma?

The exact cost of Juvederm Voluma varies based on several factors, such as the number of syringes used, the injector’s level of experience, the geographical location of the practice, and any additional treatments done in combination with the filler.

While the cost of Juvederm Voluma may seem high compared to other fillers, it provides longer-lasting results, lasting up to two years. Additionally, the thicker viscosity of the product allows it to create more dramatic lifting and volumizing effects than other dermal fillers.

How long does Voluma take to settle?

Voluma takes approximately two weeks to fully settle after injection, although this can vary from patient to patient. During this time, you may experience some swelling and bruising, but these can even subside within a day or two in some patients.

What to expect after Voluma injections?

After Voluma injections, you can expect some swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site, which is normal and typically subsides within a few days. But Most people have minimal swelling and almost no bruising. You may also experience some tenderness, firmness, lumps or bumps, or minor pain. If you have any severe allergies or a history of severe allergic reactions, Voluma may not be the right choice for you. It’s important to avoid itching, massaging, or picking around the injection site to avoid any complications. Arnica or Bromelain supplements may help minimize any bruising and swelling after treatment. If you experience any persistent or severe side effects after Voluma injections, such as excessive swelling, discomfort, or asymmetry, it’s important to contact your board-certified dermatologists. If for whatever reason you don’t like your Voluma injections, it can dissolve with the help of an enzyme named Vitrase. More than one injection session may be necessary to fully dissolve Voluma with Vitrase injections.
