Benefits of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA

Volume loss in the midface region is one of the most common aging signs. This problem can be addressed using a cosmetic filler that adds volume to the tissues in certain areas of the face. That is what JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™, a viscoelastic gel consisting of crosslinked hyaluronic acid is used for. This hyaluronic acid gel is produced by the bacterium Streptococcus equi. Its concentration to which it is formulated with 0.3% lidocaine is usually as high as 20 mg/mL. At www.bodybybloch.com, call Dr. Bloch to address your signs of aging and if your a good candidate for JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™.

Is JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ for you?

The hyaluronic acid gel is sterile and biodegradable, so it can be safely used to increase the volume and fullness of cheeks and lips as well to smooth away wrinkles and other facial lines or folds. You can visit www.bodybybloch.com for an opportunity to request your consultation. Dr. Bloch will let you know if you are a good candidate for JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ and what results you can expect. This is important to make sure you have realistic expectations before getting the JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ procedure done for you. If you want to address smile lines, vertical lip lines, thin lips, wrinkled ends of the lips, marionette lines, chin wrinkles, cheeks affected by volume loss and so on, you might be a good candidate for the procedure.

How long JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ lasts

After Dr. Bloch injects JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ gel into the areas of your face where more volume is needed, you can expect to see an immediate effect. The cosmetic effect achieved will last between 6 months and 1 year. The effect lasts for a shorter period of time if you make too many movements of your facial muscles when making expressions.

What will it accomplish?

Juvéderm Voluma XC temporarily reverses signs of age-related volume loss in the mid-face. In the clinical study, 86% of subjects had an improvement in their cheek fullness 6 months, and the results lasted up to 2 years in a majority of subjects. Most subjects also experienced moderate tenderness, swelling, firmness and/or lumps and bumps at the injection site which generally lasted 2 to 4 weeks.

What dermal fillers won’t do

For some patients, surgery such as a facelift, brow lift, or eye lift may be the best approach. Non-surgical rejuvenation treatments, such as soft tissue fillers, cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time when consideration of a facelift becomes appropriate.
