9 reasons to receive Juvederm Voluma treatments

1. You can lift your cheeks

One of the most compelling reasons for treating with Juvederm Voluma is that you can use this injection to lift your cheeks. This injectable preparation is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that instantly improves your appearance as the injected hyaluronic acid (HA) attracts water, temporarily replacing collagen or losing fat. This addition of volume results in a slight lift to the cheeks.

Furthermore, at the time of injection, collagen growth is stimulated, and existing collagen is strengthened through chemical reactions. Collagen is a special protein that makes up most of the skin’s supporting structure. Between reinforcing existing collagen and producing additional collagen in the area, your skin continues to lift and tighten over the course of a couple of weeks.

2. You can increase your cheeks

Whether you have lost weight naturally as you age, have lost a significant amount of weight due to illness, or have lost cheek volume due to loss of collagen, this treatment can be used to plump up your cheeks. Remember, you will immediately benefit from a slight increase in volume. However, it is important to remember that you will not see the final results of your treatment right away. Your appearance will continue to improve over time.

3. It can improve the appearance of your cheekbones

A third reason for receiving this treatment is that it improves the appearance of your cheekbones. By receiving this medication in strategic places in the middle of your face, your cheekbones can take on a rejuvenated appearance. Even if you are not concerned about looking younger, this drug can be used to create a more feminine or masculine appearance depending on where the drug is injected.

4. This treatment is completely painless

A fourth reason to receive this treatment is that it is completely painless. Each syringe contains a small amount of the injectable anesthetic lidocaine. Lidocaine numbs the treatment area almost instantly and drug results last 30 minutes after the session ends, so there is no risk of pain or discomfort.

5. You are probably a good candidate for treatment.

The fifth reason for this treatment is that you are probably a good candidate. You can undergo invasive cheek augmentation and lift procedures that involve a six-week recovery process, plastic implantation, and lifting and stitching of the skin on your cheeks. However, you must be healthy enough to be considered a good candidate for cheek lift or bandaging, as these procedures require intubation for general anesthesia.

Intubation puts enormous pressure on the heart and lungs. In contrast, people who are not healthy enough for intubation often are healthy enough for non-invasive anti-aging injectables. If you are at least 21 years old, not allergic to lidocaine, and not pregnant, you are most likely perfect for this treatment.

6. Treatment results are long-lasting

You should also consider this non-invasive injectable to lift and augment your cheeks because the results are incredibly long-lasting. Some hyaluronic acid dermal fillers last only six months, but the results of this injectable, made with special cross-stitch technology, last an incredible two years.

7. This treatment is completely safe

before and after photos for Juvederm Voluma XC is completely safe. It was approved by the FDA for its safety and efficacy in 2013 and has since been used in 72 countries. Despite all the injections that have been done over the past eight years and counting, there have been no reports of adverse reactions to injectables. Essentially, an eight-year global case study has been conducted, reporting no dangerous effects.

8. This treatment can erase smile lines and slight nasolabial folds.

What sets this injectable apart from similar dermal fillers is the effects it has on the cheeks and extends beyond the cheeks. When the drug is injected into the midface, fibroblasts, special cells that secrete special proteins, are stretched. This results in additional collagen growth in the region and the skin tightening effect is significant enough to erase smile lines. Additionally, these injections smooth out mild nasolabial folds without injecting directly into the folds.

9. This treatment is incredibly convenient

Yet another reason for this treatment is that it is incredibly convenient. The treatment lasts only 25 minutes and there is no downtime. Plus, you can safely drive to work as soon as your treatment ends.
