Its formula consists of a smooth, clear gel derived from Hyaluronic Acid or HA. HA is a substance found in the body that occurs naturally. It works alongside collagen and elastin to keep the skin plump and hydrated. As the name suggests, dermal fillers are injections that are administered into the subcutaneous layer of skin.
When injected, the substance fills in depressions and restores volume loss. HA fillers can be used with Botox or similar neuromodulator treatments to achieve facial rejuvenation.

Once the chemical compounds are administered to the appropriate depth, your skin is volumized immediately. It also starts to lift and tighten. More importantly, your skin is encouraged to produce its own collagen, which extends the duration of the results.
Unlike other injectables, like neuromodulators, you can see the initial results of this dermal filler immediately. However, it can take up to four weeks for the filler to settle into your skin fully. Furthermore, it takes your skin about four weeks to produce extra collagen to further lift and volumize your skin.
Therefore, you can expect your final results in about a month. Allergan spent years researching the most durable dermal filler manufacturing process before producing this product. In , they were satisfied with what they had developed and went to the U.
Food and Drug Administration for its seal of approval. The FDA then put the juvederm filler through its paces. After rigorous third-party, double-blind testing, this dermal filler was deemed safe and effective for the treatment of volume loss. Even with millions of injections administered over 14 years, there have been no reports of major risks or side effects.
Another exciting thing you have to know about treatment is it is highly customizable. Voluma XC is the only filler in its class that is FDA-approved to lift, augment, and re-contour the cheeks.
