Spotlight on Juvéderm® Voluma® XC: The 2-Year Cheek Filler

Cosmetic injectables have introduced a whole new way to defy aging. With options like Botox®, we can smooth dynamic wrinkles like frown and forehead lines. And with dermal fillers, we can replenish volume where your face loses it through the years. 

The problem with some cosmetic injectables, though, is the maintenance. Botox, for example, usually only lasts for a few months. For some people, the need for regular repeat treatments isn’t worth the skin-smoothing effects.

Fortunately, not every cosmetic injectable fades so quickly. Some options — like Juvéderm® Voluma® XC — can last for up to two years. 

At our offices on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in New York City and in Madison, Connecticut, Dr. Norman J. Pastorek, Janice Pastorek, BSN, RN, and our team provide a range of dermal fillers, including the long-lasting Juvéderm Voluma XC.

Getting to know Juvéderm Voluma XC

The FDA has cleared this dermal filler “to correct age-related volume deficit in the mid-face in adults over the age of 21.”

Like all Juvéderm products, Voluma XC uses hyaluronic acid to replenish volume where you’ve lost it, or add it where you never had it in the first place. Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in your body. When our team injects more of it in your cheeks, it adds volume there by stimulating your skin to make more collagen. 

This helps to combat the sunken, hollowed-out look that often comes with age. It provides a cheek lifting and contouring effect that can help you look your best and feel your most confident through the years.

And by years, we mean years. In clinical studies, optimal treatment with Juvéderm Voluma XC meant results that lasted for up to two years.

Developing the right treatment plan for you

In an ideal world, you would be able to fend off the physical changes that come with aging with minimal effort. With its long-lasting effects, Juvéderm Voluma XC helps you move toward that world.

That said, it’s not the only cosmetic injectable we offer, and it may be only a piece of the ideal age-defying plan for you.

If you’ve noticed that your lips are starting to thin, for example, we might recommend Juvederm® Ultra XC. The results from this dermal filler usually last about a year. While not as long as Juvéderm Voluma XC, that annual touch-up requirement might feel manageable.

Come talk with our team about your cosmetic goals. We can help you identify the right treatment options for you based on how you want to look and how much time and effort you want to invest.
