When you’re young, your face is full of collagen and healthy skin cells that give you a fresh, youthful, and vibrant appearance. As you age and are constantly exposed to the sun’s harsh rays, you lose some of that valuable tissue and the skin may begin to sag or look flat. An FDA-approved treatment called Juvederm® Voluma XC can help make your skin look young again. Discover more about the benefits of this skin treatment, which is available from Dr. J.C. Caballero at Warrenton Dermatology & Skin Therapy Center in Warrenton, VA.
Juvederm Voluma XC is a revolutionary gel that is injected into the cheeks of your face using a very thin needle. It contains a substance called hyaluronic acid and lidocaine (an anesthetic). The gel helps fix the loss of volume and sagging in the face. It is a treatment that is recommended for patients who are over the age of 21 and meet certain health standards.
Aging skin is a natural part of life, but there are ways to rejuvenate your appearance with the help of your Warrenton dermatologist. These are some of the benefits of having a Juvederm® Voluma XC treatment:
- The Juvederm gel lifts, smooths, and contours the cheek area.
- It restores volume and fullness to the skin.
- It makes the cheeks look rounder, which contributes to a younger appearance.
- The results can last for up to two years and are very natural-looking.
- The treatment very subtly changes your features, but the overall effects are very noticeable.
- There’s no need for invasive surgery.
A Juvederm Voluma session will only take a few minutes of your time, similar to having a Botox treatment. The injections will be added to both cheeks and then you can go right back to work, which is why some patients schedule the appointment on their lunch hours. You may experience some side effects after the treatment, like swelling, redness, or itching, but those symptoms should subside after a few weeks. You’ll be interviewed by your doctor before the session to ensure that you won’t have an allergic reaction.
