Juvederm Volux Lidocaine is an injectable treatment designed to correct volume loss and improve the contours of the lower face, primarily in the chin and jawline areas. Based on hyaluronic acid, it restores lost volume, giving the skin more defined and harmonious contours. This product is ideal for patients who want to enhance the clarity of their chin line and improve the contours of the lower face, providing a natural and long-lasting effect.
Juvederm Volux with Lidocaine also contains Lidocaine, a local anesthetic that significantly reduces discomfort, making the procedure more comfortable for the patient. This product is an excellent alternative to surgical correction methods, delivering noticeable results without the need for invasive surgery.
Manufacturer: The product is manufactured by Allergan, a global leader in aesthetic medicine and dermatology. Allergan is known for its innovative solutions for correcting age-related changes and improving appearance, including popular treatments like botulinum toxins and hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
Composition and Application Methods
Composition:
Juvederm Volux with Lidocaine consists of highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which ensures stability, density, and long-lasting effects. The high viscosity and strength of the gel provide a pronounced lifting effect and contour restoration while remaining safe and biocompatible. The addition of Lidocaine significantly reduces procedural discomfort, improving the overall comfort for the patient.
Application Methods:
Juvederm Volux with Lidocaine is injected into the deep layers of the subcutaneous tissue to restore volume and correct the contours of the lower face. The procedure should only be performed by a qualified professional, typically a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, in a medical setting.
Procedure Steps:
- Preparation: The skin is cleansed and disinfected prior to the injections. If needed, the doctor may apply an additional numbing cream or use ice to enhance comfort.
- Injections: The product is injected with a fine needle or cannula into the deep layers of the skin. It can be used to correct the chin, cheekbones, as well as improve the definition of the jawline and reduce volume in the chin area.
- Massage (if needed): After the injections, the specialist may perform a light massage to ensure even distribution of the product in the treated areas.
- Aftercare: The patient can resume normal activities immediately after the session, as no prolonged recovery time is required.
To achieve optimal results, several sessions are typically recommended—usually 1-2 treatments with intervals of 4-6 months. The effect of Juvederm Volux with Lidocaine can last up to 18 months, making it one of the longest-lasting products for facial contouring.
