If you are considering Juvederm in Middleburg, you may be wondering: What is Juvederm Voluma?
Voluma is an FDA-approved dermal filler that is composed of hyaluronic acid – a naturally-occurring substance in skin and joints. When injected into soft tissue, hyaluronic acid provides instant plumping and volumizing effects.
While there are a number of injectable products in the Juvederm family, Voluma is specially engineered with Allergan’s patented VYCROSS technology, which combines hyaluronic acid particles of differing molecular weights. This unique composition makes Voluma an ideal filler for lifting and contouring the cheek and midface area.
The TSK STERiGLIDE™ cannula is uniquely created with a patented tip design and a near-tip delivery port to achieve precise product placement. This feature will help injectors customize cheek contouring treatments and increase the ways in which they can safely and effectively deliver desired filler effects.
What’s more, Allergan hopes that this FDA-approval will lend itself to increased provider education about facial anatomy and advanced injection techniques.
While cannula-use just recently gained FDA-approval, leading injectors like Dr. Rostami and Dr. Naz have been employing this approach off-label for quite some time.
As board-certified plastic surgeons, they possess in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy that’s needed to perfect injection techniques and safely tailor treatment to each individual.
This expertise paired with extensive experience is just one of the reasons that so many patients seek our team for Juvederm in Middleburg.
