Frequently Asked Questions
How Should I Prepare for JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC Injections?
Before treatment, tell your injector about your medications, supplements, allergies, medical conditions, and previous facial injections. Medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, or prescription blood thinners may worsen bruising or bleeding at the injection site. Do not stop prescription drugs unless your prescribing clinician advises you to do so.
How Long Does a JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC Treatment Take?
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is administered during an in-office visit. Treatment time varies depending on the areas being addressed, the amount of filler needed, and your individual plan. Before the injections, your provider will evaluate the location and discuss your goals. The skin is then cleansed and prepared before small amounts of filler are injected into the planned treatment areas.
How Much JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC Will I Need?
The amount needed depends on your facial anatomy, the area being addressed, the degree of volume loss or contour change, and your desired result. Some patients need less product than others, and sometimes additional treatment is required to reach the intended correction. Your injector will evaluate your facial proportions and goals before recommending how much JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC to use.
Does JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC Treatment Hurt?
You might feel some discomfort during and shortly after the injections. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps reduce injection-site discomfort. We may also use additional topical or injected numbing medication when appropriate.
Is There Downtime After JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC?
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC does not require a surgical recovery period, but temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, firmness, or bumps can occur. For the first 24 hours, you should minimize strenuous exercise and extensive sun or heat exposure. JUVÉDERM also advises avoiding makeup for 12 hours after treatment. Your injector will provide instructions based on the areas targeted and how you respond.
How Long Does Swelling Last After JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC?
Swelling is a common temporary reaction after JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC injections. Many treatment-site reactions improve within the first two weeks, although some reactions can take two to four weeks to fully resolve. Contact the practice if swelling is severe, worsening, or lasts longer than expected.
