JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® In Virginia

The injectable Juvéderm Voluma® here at Tysons Internal Medicine is an ideal choice for patients who have seen their face change shape over the years as loss of volume has caused their cheeks to flatten and sag. The resulting hollows can make a face look gaunt and older, while jowls obscure the youthful, angular contours of a defined jawline and smile.

As part of a larger family of dermal fillers, Juvéderm Voluma® offers a temporary cosmetic solution to patients facing this problem of volume loss, specifically in what is known as the “apple” of the cheek. A firm, round apple is a sign of youth and health, and more fullness there can lift skin drooping farther down the face, making the injectable an option for patients who want a change to their profile, but who are not ready to opt for surgery.

HOW JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® WORKS

The active ingredient in Juvéderm Voluma®, hyaluronic acid, is found in abundance in young skin, where it holds onto moisture and provides both elasticity and volume with help from two other elements: collagen and elastin. Unfortunately, all of these break down over time and are replenished less and less as the years go by. By the time you are in your 20s and 30s, you may begin to notice the effects of hyaluronic loss: wrinkles and diminished volume. Juvéderm Voluma® works by standing in for the hyaluronic acid your body once made and held on its own. It is injected directly into the area to be treated, where it physically adds volume. This is a safe, FDA–approved injectable that is gradually processed by the body over the course of many months. In fact, under ideal circumstances, results can last for up to two years.
