Pre-Treatment: Before your procedure, avoid blood-thinning medications (like aspirin) and notify your provider of any skin conditions. A numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort, though Voluma contains lidocaine for pain relief.
The Procedure: Voluma is injected into the cheeks or mid-face, restoring volume and creating a lifted, youthful look. The procedure takes 30-45 minutes and involves only minimal discomfort, thanks to the lidocaine in the filler.
Juvederm Voluma XC is an FDA-approved, dense hyaluronic acid injectable specifically engineered for deep volume restoration in the cheeks (midface lifting) and chin profile augmentation, administered by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Candace Thornton Spann.
Voluma utilizes advanced VYCROSS technology to cross-link hyaluronic acid, providing long-lasting structural support that typically endures for up to 2 years with optimal correction, overseen by Dr. Candace Spann.
By restoring structural volume in the upper cheek and midface, Voluma creates a subtle upward vector that can soften mild jowl formation and marionette lines. For moderate to severe lower-face laxity, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Marvin Spann provides surgical facelift evaluations.
Discomfort is minimal. Voluma XC is pre-mixed with lidocaine (a local anesthetic) for maximum comfort, and Dr. Candace Spann utilizes topical numbing and precision placement techniques to ensure a smooth, comfortable patient experience.
Patients may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or minor bruising for 2 to 5 days. Dr. Candace Spann advises avoiding intense exercise, saunas, and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours to minimize inflammation while the filler integrates smoothly into the tissue.
Yes. Dr. Candace Thornton Spann often pairs Voluma midface lifting with neuromodulators (Botox) for upper facial lines and laser skin resurfacing to achieve complete 3D facial rejuvenation.
