If the skin on your face appears to be thin and sunken, it’s probably due to low levels of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that naturally exists between the cells of your body and gives your skin a firm, youthful appearance. As you age this substance decreases, causing wrinkles and fine lines. But when Juvederm Voluma in San Francisco, CA is injected into your cheeks, your skin is restored within minutes, leaving your face firmer, plumper, and more youthful. Results that define your features, not your age.
A smooth texture and radiant tone just scratch the surface. It may not be as emphasized as the other signs of aging, but volume is another major characteristic of a beautiful face – and it makes a world of difference in the appearance of your skin. Too little volume in the cheek area can make the face look sunken and exaggerate the look of fine lines. On the other hand, a surplus of volume can cause the skin to look swollen and unnatural.
Fortunately, Juvederm Voluma in California can help restore your skin’s youthful plumpness and give you beautiful, natural-looking results. Juvéderm Voluma® XC is the first and only FDA-approved injectable gel that gives your skin just enough volume to contour your face and subtract years from your appearance.
Lift And Contour Your Face Whether you need a ‘lift’ or just want to give more contour to your cheeks and mid face, Voluma® is a dermal filler treatment we perform daily at Michael Echavez, MD. The best part… it lasts up to two years, with optimal treatment correction!
VOLUMA is the first and only FDA-approved filler that instantly adds volume to the cheek area. It gives you a subtle lift, helping to restore contour and a more youthful profile. Juvederm corrects age-related volume loss in the midface.
The Advanced Formula Voluma uses a new advanced formulation technology where the HA is cross-linked through a process called Vycross that helps provide?excellent lifting capacity. This special cross-linking technology not only produces a lift and fill that is unique to Voluma, but also helps to avoid degradation, making Voluma last almost twice as long as other fillers.
Volume rejuvenation treatment with Juvéderm VOLUMA gives instant results. Most people can resume normal daily activities immediately following the appointment. However, for the first 24 hours following treatment, it is recommended that patients minimize strenuous exercise and exposure to sun and extensive heat. The efficient cross-linking in Juvéderm VOLUMA slow HA metabolism so that you can expect to see natural-looking result for up to TWO YEARS, after which VOLUMA is metabolized naturally by the body.
Treatment for volume restoration with Juvéderm VOLUMA is a non-surgical procedure. It is administered through a number of injections. The procedure usually takes 15 to 30 minutes to perform. The treatment area will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to improve maximal comfort. Dr. Echavez will personally will then inject Voluma into the treatment site as defined by each person’s individual facial contours and needs using a very fine needle or cannula. After the treatment, you will be able to return to your normal activities. Any visible side effects, such as bruising or discoloration, should be minor and can be easily concealed with makeup.
The treatment is very effortless. With a fine needle or microcannula (an advanced technique that Dr. Echavez specializes in), VOLUMA is injected under the skin, specifically in areas where volume has been lost. Because VOLUMA contains a small amount of numbing agents premixed into the filler, in addition to a topical numbing cream that is applied to the treatment area. Most patients can easily tolerate the treatment and do not report significant discomfort.
