Juvederm Voluma® replaces volume, contours, and lifts saggy areas when injected into strategic parts of the face. By absorbing water it simultaneously addresses decreased collagen formation, fat loss, bone resorption, and the effects of gravity. Doing so not only restores youthful contours but also diminishes “jowliness.” By plumping-up and lifting the cheeks, it softens both the nasolabial folds and marionette lines, and for a more refreshed look that looks and feels natural. Though too dense to be injected into the tear troughs, it is used to build up the cheek area and offer support to the undereye ligaments.
Juvederm Voluma® is often compared to Restylane Lyft, a filler that is similarly popular for cheek augmentation. Juvederm Voluma® is a softer and more malleable product and is indicated to last 24 months, whereas Restylane Lyft is indicated to last for a shorter duration. However, in our practice at Juvly, these two products seem to have comparable longevity and we recommend them to different clients based on their individual goals.
