Juvéderm Voluma® XC
Restore Youthful Contours with Long-Lasting Results
What Is Juvéderm Voluma® XC?
Juvéderm Voluma® XC is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler designed to address age-related volume loss in the mid-face, particularly the cheeks. As we age, the cheeks can lose their youthful fullness, leading to sagging skin and a sunken appearance. Voluma® XC is specifically formulated to restore volume beneath the skin’s surface, providing a subtle lift and enhancing facial contours for a more youthful profile.
Utilizing VYCROSS® technology, Voluma® XC offers a smooth, gel-like consistency that integrates seamlessly into the skin, delivering natural-looking results. The inclusion of lidocaine in the formulation ensures a more comfortable injection experience by minimizing discomfort during the procedure.

The Juvéderm Voluma® XC Procedure
The procedure involves injecting Voluma® XC into the deep dermis and subcutaneous layers of the skin in the mid-face region. This targeted approach replenishes lost volume, lifts sagging skin, and enhances the natural contours of the cheeks and chin. The treatment is minimally invasive, typically completed within 15 to 30 minutes, and requires little to no downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities promptly.
Juvéderm Voluma® XC Recovery – What to Expect
Immediately After the Procedure:
Post-treatment, patients may experience mild side effects such as redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. These reactions are typically mild to moderate and resolve within a few days to two weeks. Applying a cold compress intermittently for the first 24 hours can help alleviate swelling and discomfort. It’s advisable to avoid touching or massaging the treated areas to prevent the filler from shifting. Refrain from applying makeup for at least 24 hours to minimize the risk of infection.
First Few Days:
During the initial days following the procedure, continue to monitor the treated areas. Swelling and bruising may peak within the first 48 hours but should gradually diminish. To support the healing process, avoid strenuous physical activities, excessive sun or heat exposure (such as saunas or hot tubs), and consumption of alcohol or blood-thinning medications unless prescribed. Sleeping with your head elevated can also help reduce swelling.
Long-Term Recovery:
While you’ll notice immediate improvements, the full benefits of Voluma® XC become more apparent over the following weeks as the filler settles and integrates with the surrounding tissue. The results can last up to two years, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated. To maintain the desired effect, follow-up treatments may be recommended. Adhering to a healthy skincare routine and protecting your skin from sun exposure can also prolong the results.
