Voluma® XC is a gel that is injected into the cheek area, which gently lifts the skin and restores lost volume. It is made from a modified form of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring sugar found in the body. It is FDA approved and has been safely in use around the world since 2005. Voluma® uses the new VyCross technology, which allows the smooth gel to flow easily and consistently, making it easy to be beautifully sculpted with long lasting results. This advanced technology is so effective Voluma XC is often referred to as “a liquid face lift.”
Voluma® treatments take only 15-20 minutes, and are performed in the comfort of our own office. These treatments include the use of Lidocaine in order to numb the area, and we can use a topical numbing agent if needed. You might see some redness and swelling for 24-48 hours following the treatment. You will likely see immediate effects from the treatment and you will enjoy up to 24 months of effectiveness with Voluma® treatments, which are among the longest lasting treatments on the market.
