- Rarely does the patient feel discomfort after the procedure.
- Lumps and irregularities can occur as well and usually can be massaged out by the injector.
- Most patients are advised not to have the treatment done within 24 hours of an important event so as to avoid others noticing.
How Does Juvéderm Voluma XC Work?
The treatment is performed in an examination room and takes about 15-30 minutes.
The area to be treated is numbed according to the patient’s level of tolerance and can include one or more of the following:
- Ice

In the clinical study, treated patients felt they looked 5 years younger when asked 6 months after the treatment.
