Juvederm® Voluma® XC
Juvederm® Voluma® XC: Enhance Your Facial Volume
If you want a truly youthful-looking face, it’s important to add volume where it matters most: the mid-facial area. That’s where FDA-approved Juvederm® Voluma® XC comes into play. This injectable cheek filler uses a special hyaluronic acid to add volume to the cheek region, creating an apple-like appearance with minimized wrinkles and creases.
We often call it the “jowl eraser” because it literally elevates drooping skin back to the correct position.
It’s not just ideal for patients concerned with aging symptoms. We often recommend Juvederm® Voluma® injections for younger people, as this treatment is exceptional at creating contouring for those who feel their face is overly round. Adding Juvederm® Voluma® creates the defined, angular look often seen on social media models.
How Does Juvederm® Voluma® XC Work?
Juvederm® Voluma® XC contains a thick hyaluronic acid formula that acts as scaffolding underneath cheek skin. This effect helps lift the cheeks for a more youthful appearance while erasing the appearance of wrinkles, creases, and lines. Juvederm® Voluma® XC contains lidocaine, which helps minimize any discomfort a client might feel during the injection process.

Am I a Good Candidate for Juvederm® Voluma® XC?
You’re a good candidate for this treatment if you’ve seen volume loss in your cheeks or you have noticeable wrinkles and creases around your cheeks and underneath your eyes.
You’re also a good candidate for Juvederm® Voluma® XC injections if you feel that your overall facial shape is too round and you want more contours and angles. Our injection specialist is highly skilled at using Voluma® to add the right contours for your face shape.
How Long Does a Typical Treatment Take?
Juvederm® Voluma® XC injections take about 30 minutes to perform, which is why it’s referred to as a “lunchtime procedure.”
What Results Will I See?*
Results include more apple-like cheeks and minimized mid-facial wrinkles. Results are immediate & typically last between 12 to 18 months.
Is There Any Downtime?
After your filler injections, you can return to most daily activities such as work. You will be given specific instructions from your injector regarding what to avoid, such as strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and airplane travel. A few days after treatment, bruising, swelling, and minor discomfort are expected. Your injector will walk you through what to anticipate with your specific treatment.
- Avoid taking aspirin, vitamin E, garlic, alcohol, Ginko Biloba, fish oil, or any blood thinners for five days before treatment as these can increase the risk for bruising.
- Avoid dental work or vaccinations two weeks before and after treatment.
- You may have some redness, swelling, and bruising that can last a few days post-treatment. However, most of this is mild. Most people return to work the next day and can cover any bruising with makeup.
- Avoid strenuous activity for 48 hours.
- Wait four to six weeks after injection for any Med Spa service on the face.
