Juvederm Voluma with Lidocaine is an injectable treatment designed to correct facial volume loss. It is used to restore facial contours, improve skin elasticity, and combat signs of aging. The primary ingredient of the product is hyaluronic acid, which helps replenish lost volume in areas such as the cheeks, chin, and temples, as well as correct deep wrinkles and folds. This product is an ideal choice for those looking to restore a youthful and expressive appearance to their face.
Juvederm Voluma Lidocaine (a local anesthetic) significantly reduces pain during the procedure, ensuring patient comfort. The treatment offers natural, long-lasting results without the need for surgical intervention.
Manufacturer: The product is manufactured by Allergan, a global leader in dermatology and aesthetic medicine, known for its innovative products designed to correct age-related changes.
Composition. Methods and Application.
Composition:
The key component of Juvederm Voluma Lidocaine is highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which has a high viscosity and elasticity. This enables the product to not only restore lost volume but also provide a lifting effect by tightening and strengthening the skin. The formulation also contains Lidocaine, a local anesthetic that minimizes discomfort during injections, enhancing the patient’s comfort during the procedure.
Application Methods:
Juvederm Voluma Lidocaine is injected into the subcutaneous tissue to restore volume and contour the face. The procedure is performed by a qualified specialist, typically a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, in a medical setting.
Main Steps of the Procedure:
- Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned and disinfected. In some cases, the physician may apply a numbing cream to further enhance patient comfort.
- Injections: Juvederm Voluma is injected using a fine needle or cannula into various layers of the subcutaneous tissue. The product may be injected into areas such as the cheeks, chin, cheekbones, as well as to correct deep wrinkles and folds.
- Massage (if necessary): After the injections, the physician may recommend a gentle massage of the treated areas to ensure even distribution of the product.
- Conclusion: After the procedure, the patient can immediately return to their normal activities, as no lengthy recovery period is required.
For optimal results, multiple sessions are often recommended, typically 1-2 treatments with an interval of 4-6 months. The effects of Juvederm Voluma can last up to 18 months, making it one of the longest-lasting facial contouring treatments available.
