Juvederm Voluma XC
Juvederm Voluma is one of the most popular FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. Juvederm Voluma was specifically designed to address signs of aging in the cheek area. Some of the most common signs of aging that affect the mid-face include fine lines, skin laxity, and loss of volume. These signs of aging develop due to the natural breakdown of the skin’s collagen and hyaluronic acid over time. When expertly injected by a board-certified dermatologist, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Juvederm Voluma replenish facial volume and reduce other signs of aging to provide a natural-looking, long-lasting, more youthful appearance. Dr. Michele Green was one of the first dermatologists in NYC to incorporate Juvederm Voluma into her patients’ customized treatment plans. She uses Juvederm Voluma daily in her private dermatology practice, which has proven to be an optimal cosmetic treatment for facial rejuvenation.
Juvederm Voluma XC is a technologically advanced formulation of hyaluronic acid that can be used on anyone who has developed skin laxity and volume loss, regardless of skin type. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar complex in the skin that retains water and moisture, contributing to a supple, youthful appearance. As we age, our bodies produce hyaluronic acid at a decreased rate, and we cannot replace what is lost. By injecting a sophisticated hyaluronic acid dermal filler product into the skin, such as Juvederm Voluma XC, we can replace lost facial volume, enhance and contour facial features, and restore a more youthful appearance.
Dr. Michele Green is an internationally renowned board-certified dermatologist with over two and a half decades of experience providing some of the world’s most discerning individuals with the best noninvasive cosmetic treatments, including hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Juvederm Voluma. Dr. Green takes a holistic approach and embraces a less-is-more philosophy regarding facial rejuvenation, customizing each patient’s treatment plan to suit their needs best. Dr. Green was among the first dermatologists in NYC to offer cosmetic Juvederm injections to her patients and is an Allergan platinum injector. Dr. Green has been voted one of New York City’s top healthcare providers by such publications as New York Magazine, Super Doctors, and Castle Connolly. When you consult with Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood, she will work with you to construct a personalized treatment plan for rejuvenation that caters to your concerns and aesthetic goals.
What is Juvederm Voluma?
Juvederm Voluma is a dermal filler designed to replenish youthful facial volume and reduce various signs of aging in the cheek area. This unique dermal filler was first approved by the FDA in 2013 and is currently one of the most popular fillers in the Juvederm family. The main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar in the skin that contributes to hydration and a supple, youthful appearance. In addition to hyaluronic acid, Juvederm Voluma also contains lidocaine, an anesthetic that acts locally to make the procedure comfortable. The creators of Juvederm Voluma, Allergan, formulated it with Vycross technology to create dermal filler products that lift and restore volume loss in the face. This unique Vycross technology allows Juvederm Voluma XC dermal filler to create amazing, immediate, and natural results.

Is Juvederm Voluma a good filler?
Yes! Juvederm Voluma is a fantastic option for those looking to add volume to their cheeks and enhance the appearance of their chin. This hyaluronic acid filler, approved by the FDA in 2013, is one of the most popular dermal fillers for a reason. It’s a safe, effective, and straightforward treatment for correcting age-related volume loss in the midface and adding projection to the chin. Many patients choose to have yearly touch-up treatments to maintain the consistently stunning results from this popular filler.
What is Juvederm Voluma made of?
Juvederm Voluma XC is a volumizing injectable dermal filler product that is a part of the Juvederm family of dermal fillers. Juvederm Voluma is a clear, biodegradable, non-surgical hyaluronic acid gel filler that is designed with proprietary Vycross technology to be injected into the cheeks to provide volume restoration and chin augmentation, create a subtle and natural-looking lifting and facial contouring effect, as well as improve overall skin laxity. Juvederm Voluma is composed of a cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel compounded with lidocaine, a local anesthetic. Juvederm Voluma XC injections can also enhance the chin for more projection and definition, making it a powerful tool for facial rejuvenation.
Who is a good candidate for Juvederm Voluma injections?
A man or woman who is 21 years or older and in overall good health may be a good candidate for Juvederm Voluma XC injections. A good candidate is not allergic to any filler component and is not pregnant or breastfeeding. Patients of all ages find their midface lacking the volume that they want. The natural aging process, genetics, smoking, or environmental factors may cause this. Many younger patients want to add volume and contour the cheek area, creating enhanced definition. Older patients with increased skin laxity and lost volume usually require a more significant amount of dermal filler to replace lost volume and smooth the skin. Many patients do not want to undergo invasive plastic surgery and find the results of dermal fillers, like Juvederm Voluma, natural, simple, and effective. When you consult with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green in her NYC office, she will physically assess the cheek area to determine whether you are a good candidate for treatment with Juvederm Voluma.
What makes Juvederm Voluma XC Unique?
Juvederm Voluma and Juvederm Voluma XC are often used interchangeably. However, they are technically different. While both hyaluronic acid fillers were created with the same Vycross technology, Juvederm Voluma XC also contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic that enhances patient comfort during injections. Compared to the other Juvederm fillers, Juvederm Voluma has Allergan’s innovative Vycross technology, which allows Juvederm Voluma to provide a dramatic lifting effect with unmatched longevity. With the innovative Vycross technology, Juvederm Voluma is one of the thickest Juvederm fillers, only thinner than Juvederm Volux. The increased thickness allows Juvederm Voluma to plump the cheeks and enhance the chin. In clinical studies, patients noted that treatment with Juvederm Voluma significantly improved their overall appearance. In just minutes, expert injectors like Dr. Green can restore lost facial volume, enhance contour, and create a more youthful appearance. This immediate and long-lasting lift is a unique effect of Juvederm Voluma XC injections.
Where can Juvederm Voluma be injected?
Juvederm Voluma is FDA-approved to be used in the mid-face and chin. Juvederm Voluma instantly lifts and adds volume to fight sagging skin, hollowing, and overall volume loss when injected into the midface. This results in enhanced contouring and can lift sagging jowls for a more youthful appearance. Injections of Juvederm Voluma into the cheeks is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed at Dr. Green’s private dermatology office in NYC due to the consistently stunning results.
In June 2020, AbbVie Labs (manufacturer of Allergan Aesthetics) announced that Juvederm Voluma XC was FDA-approved for chin augmentation. Chin augmentation with Juvederm Voluma will result in cosmetic results comparable to the effect of a chin implant without plastic surgery or downtime. Depending on a patient’s facial anatomy and desired outcomes, Dr. Green may suggest a combination of dermal fillers to provide the best overall results. In addition to Juvederm Voluma, Dr. Green often utilizes a dermal filler product called Restylane Lyft to provide chin augmentation for her patients. Restylane Lyft is a similar dermal filler to Juvederm Voluma in terms of consistency, offering enhanced structural support. Dr. Green will physically assess your facial anatomy to determine which dermal filler best suits your needs.
What is Juvederm Voluma used for?
Juvederm Voluma XC is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has been explicitly FDA-approved to restore loss of volume in the midface and for chin augmentation. The thick consistency of Juvederm Voluma XC injectable gel makes it well-suited to these areas of the face, which require additional support. Patients with a “weak” or receding chin may find that the shape of their jawline keeps them from their ideal face shape. Chin augmentation with Juvederm Voluma XC is a popular option for those seeking to enhance chin projection for a perfectly contoured jawline. With Juvederm Voluma XC injectable gel, Dr. Green can inject the filler deep into the chin to add definition and volume for an improved facial profile. In the past, plastic surgery was the only option to correct age-related volume loss in the cheek area and achieve chin augmentation. Now, however, dermal fillers like Juvederm Voluma are used by expert injectors to give an “instant lift” to the skin, restore midface loss of volume, and provide an overall more youthful appearance, increasing the accessibility of total facial rejuvenation and eliminating downtime.

Can you use Juvederm Voluma in the lips?
Each Juvederm dermal filler in the Juvederm family has a unique composition and consistency and is designed for use in different facial anatomical areas. Juvederm Volbella and Juvederm Ultra Plus are the dermal filler products within the Juvederm family of facial dermal fillers that are specifically designed for lip augmentation. Their formulas are smooth, silky, and light, making them ideal for natural-looking and feeling lip augmentation results. Juvederm Voluma XC is a thicker dermal filler product, which is ideal for providing volume in the cheek area and not the lips. The thick consistency of Juvederm Voluma would produce less-than-ideal lip augmentation results. Each injectable hyaluronic acid gel in the Juvederm family has a different formula and thickness that makes it optimal for use in a particular area of the face, and an experienced injector such as Dr. Green understands which dermal fillers are most appropriate to use in each area of the face and body for total rejuvenation and consistently stunning results.
What to expect during a Juvederm Voluma treatment
During an initial cosmetic consultation with Dr. Green in her private dermatology office, you will go ahead and discuss your skincare concerns and review your complete medical history, surgical history, and current medication profile. Next, Dr. Green will review any previous cosmetic treatments that you may have done in the past, including dermal filler injections, laser treatments, and plastic surgery. Dr. Green will then physically assess the potential treatment areas. Dr. Green will discuss which facial features you would like treated and what treatment options you have. Achieving facial symmetry and providing rejuvenation is always the ultimate goal of any cosmetic procedure, including dermal filler injections. Dr. Green will explain all of the treatments, including the number of syringes and the type of Juvederm dermal filler product needed. This way, it can be ensured that there is a thorough understanding of both the expectations for what kind of results can be achieved with your treatment and the prices for the complete treatment before the procedure is performed.
On the day the procedure will be performed, a topical numbing cream should be applied to the midface and cheek area one hour before your injections. Once you arrive at Dr. Green’s private dermatology office in NYC for your dermal filler injections, the treatment area is cleaned with alcohol and prepared for your cosmetic treatment. Photographs will be taken before your cosmetic procedure for your private patient record. Dr. Green uses very small needles to inject the Juvederm Voluma, with a very gentle approach, to avoid any bruising or discomfort. After Dr. Green has completed your cosmetic injections, she may massage the treated areas to distribute the product, if necessary. Ice packs are applied to the treatment area immediately after the injections to reduce side effects like swelling. Dr. Green will provide specific aftercare instructions for post-treatment on the day of your appointment, as they may vary slightly depending on the other cosmetic procedures that are performed at that time. Dr. Green may request you return in two weeks to re-evaluate the results and see if a touch-up is needed.
What to expect after Juvederm Voluma XC injections
When you receive Juvederm Voluma filler with an expert injector like Dr. Green, the process is quick and painless. After the treatment, there are a few mild side effects, and you will be given aftercare instructions. The most common side effects of dermal filler treatment are mild swelling and bruising at or near the injection sites. Swelling in these areas may resemble small lumps or bumps. Any bumps observed after dermal filler injections should resolve independently within 1-2 weeks. Other possible side effects may include bruising of the treatment area, redness, and soreness. In many cases, ice can be used to reduce any swelling or bruising. Dr. Green may ask you to return to her private NYC office two weeks after your Juvederm Voluma XC injections to assess the results and determine whether any touch-up is required.
What are the side effects of Juvederm Voluma?
Juvederm Voluma has only a few side effects. The most common side effects are temporary redness, swelling, lumps, tenderness, discoloration, or bruising at the injection site. Even though a small needle is used to inject the product deep into the dermis, irritation can often occur at the injection site. Side effects of swelling, bruising, and tenderness tend to resolve independently within two weeks of injections. Ice packs are applied to the treated area immediately after the dermal filler injections are completed to reduce the side effects of swelling. To prevent swelling, patients should discontinue all blood-thinning medications and supplements, including Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, and Vitamin E, two weeks before their filler treatment. Patients who are particularly prone to bruising may choose to take Arnika for several days before their dermal filler injections to prevent such side effects. Arnika is an oral herbal supplement that has been shown to prevent and treat bruising. Dr. Green may ask you to return to her boutique dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side two weeks after your dermal filler treatment to evaluate your cosmetic results and determine whether any touch-up is needed. Juvederm Voluma injections should not be performed on pregnant or breastfeeding patients. Two other potential side effects are infection and occlusion. If either event occurs, they require immediate medical attention.
Is Juvederm Voluma safe?
Juvederm Voluma, like the other Juvederm fillers, has received FDA approval. When FDA approval is granted to a product, the US Food and Drug Administration has deemed it safe and effective for its intended purpose, and, as such, Juvederm fillers are very safe for use by an experienced, board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. The risks of an adverse reaction increase when an inexperienced injector, such as a nurse injector at a medspa, performs the injections. Juvederm injections should be avoided by patients with a history of allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) or an allergy to lidocaine or the Gram-positive bacteria that can be found in the filler. During your initial consultation with Dr. Green, be sure to disclose your medical history, including any allergies. Be sure to thoroughly research your injector before scheduling an appointment to ensure you receive treatment from a board-certified and experienced practitioner. For the safest procedure, you should always consult with an expert injector like Dr. Michele Green, who values patient safety and satisfaction above all else.
How long does it take for Juvederm Voluma to settle
Juvederm Voluma takes around two weeks to settle and reveal the full cosmetic results. When dermal filler “settles,” the filler becomes integrated with the skin tissue in the treatment area, resulting in the full effect of Juvéderm Voluma becoming visible. While the filler settles, patients may experience mild side effects such as swelling, bruising, or redness. Immediately after your cosmetic injections, Dr. Green places ice packs on the treated area to minimize any swelling and unnecessary downtime. You will be instructed to continue refraining from blood thinners, such as ibuprofen, for several days. Direct sunlight, saunas, and steam rooms should be avoided for the next two weeks to prevent additional swelling. No facial massage should also be performed for at least one week after your cosmetic injections.
There is a small chance that the Juvederm Voluma does not settle properly and forms lumps, bumps, or nodules at or near the injection sites. These bumps usually resolve within two weeks of dermal filler injections. If persistent nodules do not resolve within two weeks of your Juvederm injections, alert your injector and schedule a follow-up appointment with them for assessment. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm can be dissolved with an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase. Depending on the type of dermal filler used initially, multiple hyaluronidase treatments may be required to dissolve it fully.
How long does Juvederm Voluma last?
Juvederm Voluma is a temporary treatment that offers a safe and effective alternative to plastic surgery to treat volume loss in the midface and to augment the chin. When patients receive Juvederm Voluma in the cheeks, they can expect results to last up to two years after initial injections. When used on the chin, Juvederm Voluma lasts for up to one year. Because Juvederm Voluma is formulated with Vycross cross-linking technology, it can last longer than other hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. The duration of one’s cosmetic results may also be influenced by the amount of dermal filler used. When you consult with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Green at her private office in NYC, she will work with you to develop a timeline for your dermal filler injections that provides you with long-lasting, natural-looking results.
What does Juvederm Voluma cost per syringe?
The price per syringe of Juvederm Voluma varies depending on several factors, including the injector’s geographical area and experience. Injections in NYC are more expensive than in other cities. Additionally, a syringe of Juvederm Voluma will be more expensive when a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon is performing the injection. Generally, the price per syringe of Juvederm Voluma in NYC ranges from $1,200 to $1800.
How much is Juvederm Voluma?
Juvederm Voluma is a cosmetic facial filler and, as such, is not covered by any health insurance. The cost of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used, how much filler is used, the region of the country you are in, and the experience level of the cosmetic injector. Treating the cheeks alone versus treating the chin and cheeks will require more syringes. Typically, two syringes of Juvederm Voluma are required for the cheek area of a patient. With greater volume loss and age, four syringes or more may be necessary. The amount of filler needed depends on the level of volume loss and the desired cosmetic results. Generally, having the procedure done with a more experienced board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon will be more expensive than having the treatment done with a nurse injector. However, the risk of developing unwanted cosmetic results and severe side effects, such as product migration, is much lower when you seek treatment from an experienced injector.

How much is Juvederm Voluma needed for the lips?
The Juvederm family consists of a variety of dermal fillers that each serve a different function based on the thickness or density of the filler itself. Juvederm Voluma is best used to restore lost volume to the midface and augment the chin. When it comes to the lips, there is a better option than Juvederm Voluma when treating the lips with dermal fillers. Within the Juvederm family are two fillers designed for use in the lips: Juvederm Volbella ® xc and Juvederm Ultra Plus xc. Juvederm Volbella is a thin hyaluronic acid filler that was specifically designed to add subtle volume to the lips and delicate undereye area. Similarly, Juvederm Ultra XC plumps the lips for a fuller pout. The results of both fillers can last for up to one year.
How much is Juvederm Voluma needed for the cheeks?
The amount of Juvederm Voluma required for cheek augmentation depends on the patient’s face shape, the type and severity of the skin concerns being addressed, and their aesthetic goals. The total number of syringes required to produce your desired cosmetic outcome will differ from that of other patients since no two individuals will experience collagen loss the same way. Typically, patients require two syringes to restore lost volume and reveal the best aesthetic results. With increased volume loss and age, four or more syringes may be needed to restore the best cosmetic appearance. When you have a consultation with Dr. Green, you will have the opportunity to identify your primary areas of concern, and she will determine the number of syringes and the type of dermal filler product necessary to achieve your goals.
Is Juvederm Voluma worth it?
Yes! For many patients, Juvederm Voluma injections are worthwhile. Compared to the expensive and time-intensive nature of a surgical facelift, Juvederm Voluma is affordable for a quick, long-lasting procedure. The consistently stunning results make this one of Dr. Green’s most common procedures in her private dermatology office. While temporary, Juvederm Voluma injections have long-lasting results, some lasting for two years, making them worth it for many patients.
Where can I buy Juvederm Voluma?
Dermal fillers, such as the Juvederm collection of fillers, can only be purchased by healthcare providers. As an injectable treatment, there is a high risk of adverse events if an untrained person were to inject Juvederm Voluma. Without proper training, there is a higher risk of infection and occlusion, which require medical attention. So, while you cannot purchase the product, many dermatology offices and MedSpas offer Juverderm Voluma injections. To ensure a safe and effective treatment, you should look over the injector’s experience and credentials. Medspas typically have a nurse injector perform the procedure. While this is often cheaper than when a physician performs the injections, the nurse injector may be less experienced with these procedures and facial anatomy. Please always make sure an expert is treating you for the best cosmetic results and safety. Dr. Michele Green is an expert, board-certified dermatologist with over 25 years of experience with cosmetic injectables. Juvederm Voluma injections are some of the most popular injections performed in her boutique dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood. Dr. Green uses a “less is more” philosophy when performing cosmetic injections, leaving you with a natural and rejuvenated appearance.
Can you combine Juvederm Voluma XC with other procedures?
Many patients with volume loss in the midface also have dynamic fine lines and facial skin laxity due to aging skin. These patients often combine their filler with other non-invasive procedures for overall rejuvenation. The most common treatments paired with Juvederm Voluma are Botox, VBeam, Thermage, and Fraxel.
Botox is one of the most popular noninvasive injection treatments in the United States and is the gold standard for preventing and eliminating dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are fine lines that appear over time due to repeated facial movements that occur when forming expressions. Botox can also slim the face and treat TMJ (temporomandibular joint pain). Botox is a neuromodulator that is injected into muscles to limit their contractions, leading to a smoother texture. Botox and dermal fillers like Juvederm XC are both highly successful facial rejuvenation cosmetic treatments. Still, they fulfill slightly different needs regarding restoring a more youthful appearance. In general, the appearance of dynamic wrinkles will be successfully targeted through Botox injections. On the other hand, issues of fine lines and wrinkles, which are not related to an active facial expression, as well as sagging and volume loss, are more optimally treated with a dermal filler product like Juvederm. Many patients have Botox and dermal filler injections during the same appointment to target age-related and dynamic fine lines and the volume loss of their cheeks.
The Vbeam laser treatment targets the pigmentation in facial redness, pigmented acne scars, rosacea, surgical scars, and stretch marks to reveal a more even skin tone. Many individuals are unaware that overexposure to the sun can cause the permanent stretching of small blood vessels, making the skin appear red. The Vbeam laser releases a burst of light with a 595-nanometer wavelength to target the red pigment in blood vessels. The energy is converted into heat in the skin and absorbed by the compounds responsible for the red color. As a result, the Vbeam laser does not interact with other parts of the skin and successfully treats the redness of rosacea, pigmented scars, and broken blood vessels. There is no downtime involved with Vbeam, meaning that you can carry on with regular daily activities immediately upon completion of the procedure. Dr. Green often performs Vbeam and Juvederm Voluma injections in the same appointment for her patients to give them a refreshed look.
The Thermage treatment utilizes radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin. It is the gold standard for laser skin tightening and is used to encourage the production of new collagen in the skin with no downtime. The laser treatment can be performed on various body parts, including the face, neck, abdomen, arms, and legs, to improve skin laxity. The Thermage treatment works by heating the dermis with radiofrequency energy, stimulating collagen production, which reforms the natural support structure in the skin, ultimately tightening the skin. The final results last up to two years, with most patients engaging in an annual Thermage treatment session to keep up the best effects. When volume loss causes sagging and lax skin, Dr. Green often performs dermal filler injections and Thermage treatment.
Fraxel is a skin resurfacing laser treatment often referred to as the ‘magic eraser’ by Dr. Green for its unique ability to target a wide range of skin concerns. Fraxel is often recommended for patients who suffer from the consequences of sun damage because of its ability to improve skin tone and texture concerns. The Fraxel Dual laser used by Dr. Green operates on two distinct wavelengths of light. Fraxel relies on fractional laser technology to stimulate new collagen production in the treatment areas. Fraxel treats various skin concerns, from sun spots and unwanted hyperpigmentation, fine lines and deep wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, enlarged pores, acne scars and surgical scars, and stretch marks. Fraxel can be combined with other skin rejuvenating procedures and delivers phenomenal results with almost no downtime. Most patients experience mild side effects like swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treatment area for about two days. For optimal results, many patients require three treatment sessions, each spaced one month apart.
Where is Juvederm injected?
Juvederm is a family of dermal filler products composed of hyaluronic acid gel in varying thicknesses. Juvederm products can be injected into the facial skin (cheeks, lips, marionette lines, nasolabial lines, and chin), neck, and jawline. The most appropriate Juvederm dermal filler product for treatment will vary depending on the skin concern to be addressed, the area being injected, and the patient’s facial anatomy.
Can Juvederm Voluma XC be combined with other dermal fillers?
Yes! Some patients desire complete facial rejuvenation without the downtime associated with plastic surgery. Dr. Green can use a combination of various dermal fillers to perform a “liquid facelift” to improve various facial features. This approach is possible and ideal since different dermal filler products are often better for treating an individual patient’s facial anatomy and features. During a liquid facelift, Dr. Green combines Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, and Sculptra fillers to create the best aesthetic results. Often, Sculptra and Juvederm Voluma are used together to correct volume loss of the cheeks. Sculptra (composed of poly-L-lactic acid) can rebuild collagen that has been lost deep under the dermis. Since it can take several weeks for Sculptra to take action and promote collagen growth, she will then layer Juvederm Voluma XC above the underlying Sculptra injections to produce an immediate lift.
In this way, Dr. Green can combine different brands of dermal fillers and varying dermal filler products to provide the best cosmetic results for each patient based on their facial structure and the cosmetic effect that they are after. During your consultation with Dr. Green in her boutique medical office located in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, you will have the opportunity to discuss which potential combinations of dermal fillers would be best suited to you and your unique skin concerns and goals.
How long does Juvederm Voluma XC last?
Juvederm Voluma is a long-lasting treatment option for midface and chin enhancement. The hyaluronic acid filler is one of the longest-lasting fillers available on the market to restore volume loss in the cheeks. Results of Juvederm Voluma can be observed in the cheeks for up to 2 years post-treatment. The unique hyaluronic acid formulation of Juvederm Voluma promotes high moisture retention for hydrated skin and supports natural proteins such as collagen and elastin for long-lasting results. As such, even following the body’s absorption of the hyaluronic acid, the production of collagen continues, maintaining a contoured, smooth, and youthful appearance to the mid-face. Juvederm Voluma is also FDA-approved for sculpting and augmenting the chin for the ideal facial contour. When injected deep against the bone, the filler improves chin projection and shape. The results from Juvederm Voluma are expected to last one year when injected into the chin. The Juvederm Voluma treatment for the chin can be repeated annually for continued results. When you consult Dr. Green, she will determine the chin augmentation treatment schedule that will best fit your needs and help you maintain the desired appearance over time.
What is the difference between Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Voluma?
Juvederm Voluma is a specific dermal filler product within the family of Juvederm hyaluronic acid fillers. Juvederm Voluma has a thick, gel-like consistency compared to other Juvederm dermal fillers. The thick consistency of Juvederm Voluma makes it well-suited to replenishing loss of volume and contour in the midface, which requires more support than other areas of the face. Juvederm Ultra, another member of the Juvederm family, has a smoother, lighter consistency than Juvederm Voluma. The consistency of Juvederm Ultra makes it well-suited to treating fine lines and lip augmentation. Juvederm Ultra is uniquely suited to plump the lips and fill in “lip-stick” lines around the mouth. When you consult with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green at her private NYC office, she will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan for rejuvenation that best suits your particular needs and goals.
What is the difference between Juvederm Ultra Plus XC and Juvederm Voluma XC?
The Juvederm family has several different dermal fillers composed of hyaluronic acid gel in varying thicknesses, allowing expert injectors like Dr. Green to provide her patients with pan-facial rejuvenation results without downtime. Juvederm Voluma is ideal for addressing signs of aging in the cheek area and for chin augmentation. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is a dermal filler primarily used to treat the nasolabial folds (also known as the laugh lines). Juvederm Ultra Plus is a thinner filler that smooths the lines, compared to Juvederm Voluma, which adds volume and plumps. Ultimately, the dermal filler product that works best for facial rejuvenation treatment in each patient will vary depending on factors such as facial anatomy and desired cosmetic outcome.
It is essential to have your cosmetic injections with a board-certified medical professional who understands which dermal filler products are designed to be used in varying anatomical areas. An experienced and knowledgeable cosmetic injector, like Dr. Michele Green, will use an appropriate combination of injectables and often layer them to create a beautiful, long-lasting, natural-looking, more youthful appearance. Dr. Green has over 25 years of experience providing cosmetic injections for her patients and takes pride in taking the time required to learn each patient’s unique cosmetic goals and needs.
What is the difference between Juvederm Vollure and Juvederm Voluma?
Juvederm Vollure is another member of the Juvederm family of fillers. This hyaluronic acid filler was specifically designed to smooth and soften the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. Compared to Juvederm Voluma, Juvederm Vollure is a thinner filler injected superficially into the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and smile lines. Juvederm Voluma is a thicker filler that adds volume and shape to the midface and chin. When you consult with Dr. Green in her private dermatology office, she will review your facial anatomy and select the right filler to target your concerns.
What is the difference between Voluma and Juvederm?
Juvederm Voluma is a specific dermal filler product within the Juvederm family of hyaluronic acid fillers. The Juvederm family of dermal fillers can treat different parts of the face, including the cheeks, lips, jawline, nasolabial folds, and under the eyes. Juvederm Voluma has a thicker consistency than most other dermal fillers in the Juvederm family and is ideal for injection into the cheek area to provide a lifting effect. An expert injector, such as board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green in NYC, should work with you to select the “best” filler for your facial rejuvenation treatment. Various dermal fillers have distinct properties and applications, allowing Dr. Green to create customized treatment plans depending on an individual’s needs and aesthetic goals.
