What Is Juvederm Voluma XC?

Juvederm Voluma XC injectable gel is a smooth hyaluronic acid (HA) gel that contains a small quantity of local anesthetic (lidocaine). HA is an organically discovered sugar that occurs in the body. The function of HA in the skin is to give nutrients and aid the skin in maintaining its natural moisture and gentleness. The addition of lidocaine helps to increase the benefit of the shot by guaranteeing that you feel as little discomfort as possible. Voluma XC is applied by an injection to the face to restore firmness and volume.

What Does Voluma XC Do?

Juvederm Voluma XC is made to fix age-related volume loss in the face, particularly to minimize wrinkles and improve the look of the cheeks. As you age, the cheek area loses its vibrant shape, drooping and sinking throughout the years, enhancing the deepness of the wrinkles along the mouth, eyes, and nose. The cheeks eventually begin to droop. 

Voluma XC temporarily turns around these all-natural indications of aging. The gel is infused directly right into the cheek to raise and efficiently contour the skin to make the client appear even more youthful and dynamic.
