Juvederm Voluma Lidocaine is an intra-dermal hyaluronic acid volumizing gel that is injected into the chin or from ear to ear into the cheek. This dermal filler soaks up the loss of youthful volume to the skin and removes the most significant indicators of aging. Added volume creates the impression of an instant lift and brings back the natural facial shape that is frequently lost due to aging. Juvederm Voluma uses a unique formulation that features the brand’s patented Vycross process that cross-links lower-weight and higher-weight HA particles for a dramatic, natural-looking and long-lasting result. Lidocaine (local anesthetic) provides improved patient comfort during a procedure.
