Juvederm Voluma® XC is a smooth injectable gel made to add volume to the cheeks. It's the first and only filler approved by the FDA specifically for this area. As we get older, we naturally lose volume in the midface, which can make the cheeks look flat or sunken. Voluma helps bring that structure back, giving the face a soft, lifted look that feels balanced and refreshed, not overdone.

At Skin Deep Medical Spa in Glenview and Highland Park Juvederm Voluma XC is injected using a small needle or cannula placed just beneath the skin in the cheek area. It works by restoring volume right where it's been lost, giving the cheeks a subtle lift and smoother shape. The formula includes a little lidocaine, so the process is more comfortable, and most people are in and out in under 30 minutes.

Consultation and Preparation for Juvederm Voluma XC
When you come in, you'll meet with Dr. Bloch or a member of our experienced team to talk about what's bothering you and what kind of results you're looking for. We'll take a close look at your facial structure, go over your health history, and put together a plan that fits your features and goals. Before your appointment, we might recommend avoiding alcohol, aspirin, and certain supplements for a few days to help prevent bruising. If there's anything else you need to know ahead of time, we'll walk you through it step by step.
The Juvederm Voluma XC Procedure
The actual treatment is quick and simple. After cleaning the area, we'll use a tiny needle or a soft-tipped cannula to inject the filler right under the skin. Voluma has lidocaine in it, so most people find it very tolerable. We'll shape and layer the filler carefully to get a smooth, lifted look, not puffy or overfilled. You'll be done in about 15–30 minutes, and you can go right back to your day.
Juvederm Voluma XC Results
You'll notice a difference right away. Your cheeks will look fuller and more defined right after the injections. There may be a little swelling at first, but most of that fades within a few days. Full results settle in quickly, and they can last up to two years with proper care.
Juvederm Voluma XC Recovery
There's basically no downtime with Voluma. You might have some minor swelling, tenderness, or bruising, but it usually clears up within a few days. Most people go right back to work or their usual routine the same day. We'll give you a few tips to help minimize any swelling, like avoiding strenuous exercise or sleeping on your face right after your appointment.
