You can add volume to facial features such as the lips and cheeks, and fill in lines, wrinkles, and creases with Juvéderm®. This popular injectable treatment has proven to be highly-effective with long-lasting results. Juvéderm® is a smooth gel dermal filler offering a natural look and feel with results lasting for up to six to twelve months. Juvéderm® is administered by our board-certified dermatologist, Deborah H. Atkin, M.D. This dermal filler flows easily into the skin, creating a smooth, natural look.
Juvéderm® is composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the human body, and therefore does not require allergy testing. This means there should not be a waiting period before treatment. The smooth consistency of Juvéderm® dermal filler also may help to minimize the discomfort that can sometimes occur during the injection procedure.
The new “true” liquid lift is here…
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is the first and only hyaluronic gel filler approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat facial aging in the mid face. The fact that it works instantly to replenish volume, lift the cheek area and lasts up to 2 years, puts Voluma in a class of its own. Treatments are designed to smooth moderate to severe wrinkles and folds and enhance volume lost over time due to aging and sun exposure. Treatment with Voluma is a wonderful way to enhance the overall natural shape of your face, giving your face a softer and more youthful look.
*Results May Vary
Juvéderm®XC and Juvéderm® Ultra Plus XC extend additional comfort to the procedure by adding lidocaine, a numbing agent, to the formulation.

Treatment with Juvéderm® can provide effective facial rejuvenation of wrinkles and folds, and also work to add volume to facial features such as the lips and cheeks. Although the procedure is performed by injection into the treatment areas with an ultra-fine needle, Dr. Atkin can apply a topical numbing agent to ensure you experience minimal discomfort. You can expect some slight swelling, and possible mild bruising at the injection area, but this should dissipate within a few days. Final results of Juvéderm® treatment are almost immediate.
We want to help you make the best decision for your cosmetic needs and desired outcome. To assist, Dr. Atkin has provided answers to some frequently asked questions about JUVÉDERM VOLUMA®. Schedule a consultation to learn more or to learn more about this rejuvenating treatment.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® is best used in areas that experience age-related volume loss that make the face look hollower. The most common places JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® is injected includes upper cheeks and temples. This helps to assist in a more youthful and lifted look. We do everything we can to ensure you stay comfortable following your procedure. Minor side effects shouldn’t limit you from participating in your normal activities or going to work.
While the injectable itself does contain lidocaine to assist in greater comfort during your procedure, our office does also offer a topical numbing cream to be applied prior to your injection.
For prevention of bruising we recommend patients abstain from taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications for a few days before treatment. Taking oral arnica montana, or bromelain supplements will decrease the risk of bruising from your treatment. Applying ice immediately after will also help reduce bruising and swelling.
The results from JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC may last up to two years.
A consultation with Dr. Atkin to address your areas of concern can help in assisting if JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is the best filler for you.
The most common reported side effects of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC tend to be swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site. Most side effects subside shortly after treatment.
