Voluma XC aka The Liquid Facelift!
With age, the collagen production decreases, and with less collagen, the skin loses elasticity. This is the reason why things like expression lines and wrinkles start to appear with the years. And not just that, the loss of elasticity can also make the cheeks lose its fullness which causes a sagging appearance.
Fortunately today there are excellent treatments to reverse sagging skin and bring back the youthful appearance, and Juvederm Voluma, XC is one of them.
Juvederm Voluma, XC is a dermal filler that contains hyaluronic acid, which is a component responsible for maintaining the skin elastic and firm. Voluma, XC not only restores the volume, but it also lifts the saggy skin bringing back a natural young look. This dermal filler was specially designed to fill and lift cheeks and mid face so effectively it is sometimes referred to as the Liquid Facelift.
So why Voluma XC is superior to others when it comes to cheek lift?
The main advantage is that Voluma is able to lift skin that is distant from where the injection was applied, which decreases not only the number of injections needed but also the amount of material that needs to be injected.
How long does it take and how long does it last?
The procedure can be quite fast, a simple injection might take only 15 minutes, but it will all depend on the extension of the area that is being treated. The procedure is quite simple: it usually consists of injections followed by a light massage on the treatment area. Some ice might also be applied to reduce the redness and swelling. However most patients return to their normal activities immediately with no downtime.
The effects can last for up to 2 years in optimal conditions.
