At Rejeuvine Med Spa in San Diego, we have discovered the Fountain of Youth: Juvederm Voluma. Okay, so maybe Juvederm Voluma is not the actual Fountain of Youth, but it is a way to restore midface volume, reversing some of the impact of facial aging. The result is a face that looks more youthful, fresher, and fuller, without making you look like you have had work done. Instead of thinking you had something done, people will think that you are relaxed, have been getting plenty of sleep, drinking lots of water, and exercising. In other words, you will regain a natural-looking youthful appearance.
Juvederm Voluma is a hyaluronic acid (HA) soft tissue filler. FDA approved, Voluma has been in use in Europe for over a decade and is now used in 72 countries around the world. It is more comfortable for users than other fillers, and even comes in a version with lidocaine included, Juvederm Voluma XC. Voluma is used specifically to target the loss of midface volume, which can not only make a person look older, but actually change a person’s entire facial appearance. In fact, the traditional face lift, which not only tightened skin but also lifted soft tissues, targeted these age-related face-changes.
What makes Voluma a better choice than other fillers? Well, it is similar to other HA fillers, which are not traditionally used in the mid-face region. HA fillers are made up of long chains of sugars that naturally occur in the skin, so that the body does not respond like it is a foreign substance. However, Voluma’s HA is specially formulated so that these sugar-chains are longer-lasting, which means that Voluma lasts longer than and provides better results than similar fillers. In fact, Voluma may provide results for as long as two years.
