How Quickly Does VOLUMA Start Working?

JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC is a popular dermal filler that restores natural-looking volume to different facial areas. It’s one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers available for cosmetic use and can meet the needs of patients with aesthetic and aging-related goals. At Wellskin Med Spa in Dallas, TX, we offer custom-tailored treatments with this dermal filler for those looking for a non-surgical and natural way to restore lost volume or enhance their facial features.

How Quickly Does JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC Begin Working?

JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC will begin working immediately following the treatment. As soon as your injections are administered, you can look in a mirror and see improvements in your treatment area. Even though the results are immediate, those initial treatment results will not be your final results.

Understanding Your Results

It takes time for this dermal filler to integrate and settle within the tissue. You will see immediate results, but even better results will be visible within a week of your injections, and the best results will appear within 30 days.

The good news is that as soon as you undergo treatment, you won’t have to wait to see results, as you often do with many other cosmetic injectables. However, you will need to wait to see your final results, but you can enjoy improved volume and smoother skin in the meantime.

What Is JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC?

JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC is one of the hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers from the JUVÉDERM collection. It’s specifically designed to restore volume to the mid-facial area and can effectively treat flattening cheeks. It also can naturally augment the chin, improving its profile to promote proportion, balance, and the most aesthetic appearance.

It’s made with a crystal clear gel formula with hyaluronic acid particles that are appropriately sized to add volume to the cheeks and the chin. These particles are nearly identical to the natural HA particles produced by the body, so upon injection, they are well tolerated and can safely reverse volume loss and enhance the chin profile or the cheeks.

How Does It Work?

This dermal filler fills hollow areas and plumps the treatment area immediately following an injection. It’s administered with a small, fine needle just below the skin’s surface, and our hand-picked and experienced injectors use precision, skill, and advanced techniques to ensure the right amount of filler is injected into each patient’s desired treatment area for optimal results.

Once injected, it begins to integrate with the tissue and will remain in the treatment area until the body metabolizes the ingredients, after which a follow-up treatment will be necessary if the patient desires to maintain results.

What Happens During a Treatment?

When you come in for your treatment, we will sanitize your skin and prepare it for the injection process. Some patients request a topical numbing cream; others do not. This aspect of your treatment is one we can discuss during your consultation.

We will administer the exact amount of product necessary into the cheek or chin area to address your concerns. Then, your treatment will be complete; you can evaluate your results and learn about the post-care instructions.

How Long Will My Results Last?

After your treatment, you can expect your results to last up to two years. The longevity of your results ultimately depends on how quickly your body processes the product. Once you start to see changes in the appearance of the treatment area and reduced volume, you can schedule a follow-up treatment, and we’ll administer the right amount of product to that area so you can maintain your results indefinitely.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients only need one treatment to achieve their ideal results. However, if you want to add more filler to the treatment area after you see your final results, or you want to treat additional areas with one of the fillers from this collection, we can touch up the treatment area as needed or address other concerns.

Will I Have To Plan Around Social Downtime?

One of the reasons that patients love dermal fillers is that there’s no social downtime. If needed, you can schedule treatment during a lunch break at work and can return to work without any social downtime. However, there are some instructions you’ll need to follow very carefully post-treatment to avoid interrupting the filler as it begins settling within the tissue.

Post-Care Instructions

You’ll need to temporarily avoid strenuous workouts for the first 24 hours, alcohol consumption, and blood thinning supplements or medications. You’ll also need to avoid any hot environment that could increase your body temperature, avoid touching the injection sites, and avoid scheduling any treatment that could put pressure on the area.

You’ll also need to temporarily avoid sleeping on your stomach or side for the first few days post-treatment so the filler doesn’t migrate from the injection site. We will provide thorough aftercare instructions and answer any questions you may have after your treatment so you know exactly how to care for the injection sites to ensure the best results.

Am I a Good Candidate?

If you’re looking for a non-surgical treatment that can enhance your cheeks or chin profile or restore volume to the middle half of your face to correct age-related volume loss, you may be a good candidate for JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC. Patients should have realistic expectations about the treatment process and the outcome and be willing to follow the aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up treatments to maintain their results long-term.

Patients should be healthy, without any infection or skin conditions in the planned treatment area. Patients must not be allergic to any of the ingredients in the product or be pregnant or nursing at the time of treatment. An initial consultation with one of our injectors is the best way to confirm your treatment eligibility so you can move forward and experience all the benefits this dermal filler offers.

Experience the Benefits of a Customized Dermal Filler Treatment

Whether you’ve never undergone treatment with a dermal filler or you’ve never tried one from the JUVÉDERM collection, once you experience the results of a JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC treatment, you’ll see why so many patients love this filler.
