Cosmetic fillers have been around for well over a decade, and are a very popular method for the treatment of deeper lines and wrinkles – in particular, those parentheses-shaped lines that extend from our nose to our mouth, called nasolabial folds, and those pesky jowls that get more pronounced with time.

Well, I’m excited to tell you about a new filler that will revolutionize the way in which we approach the treatment of the aging face.

When people come in to see me complaining about deep nasolabial folds or jowling, we commonly use a filler such as Juvederm, Restylane or Perlane to directly fill in these areas, lifting the skin up from underneath, so that the fold or line is not as deep. However, this method is not ideal because the actual fold or deep wrinkle may be improved, but this doesn’t necessarily make the face look more youthful.

What causes these na solabial folds and jowls to become more pronounced in the first place? As we age, gravity and loss of facial fat causes the cheeks to flatten and the skin to droop and sag.  JUVÉ- DERM VOLUMA™ XC is the first and only FDAapproved non-surgical option to instantly correct age-related volume loss in the cheek area to instantly restore a more youthful appearance of the face. It is a dense hyaluronic acid that is smooth and malleable, that is injected into the cheekbone area to create more volume and fullness there.

We are now treating the cause for the nasolabial folds and jowls.

You know when you pull your cheeks up and back with your fingers, and you notice that you look better when you do that? This is what Voluma XC does. Even better news – the results can last for two years.

If you are wondering whether Voluma XC is the right treatment for you, call our office at 909-981-8929 to make an appointment for a complimentary consultation.
