Did You Know Juvederm Voluma Is FDA-approved for the Temples?

Say goodbye to tired temples and hello to a refreshed, revitalized look with Juvederm Voluma XC, which recently received FDA-approval for treatment of the temples. Juvederm Voluma is also approved for chin and cheek augmentation. 

Allergan, the makers of Juvederm, are at it again. Earlier this year, they earned another FDA approval for their Juvederm filler family. 

“One of the newest and coolest updates with the Juvederm family with Voluma is that it just received FDA approval for the temples,” shares Houston-based Registered Nurse, Allergan Trainer, and Injector Nicole Sarmiento. By being able to fill the temples, it will help replace the collagen that has been lost and add more volume in that area. This gives more balance to the upper and lower face.”

Sarmiento specializes in injectable cosmetic treatments, like dermal filler and Botox.

Voluma is suitable to inject deep into the cheek area to correct age-related volume loss.

How do HA fillers work?

Sarmiento points out that there are many different types of fillers. “Some fillers are made from material like collagen, polymethylmethacrylate, calcium hydroxylapatite, autologous fat, or poly-l-lactic acid. The most popular and common type of filler is HA, or hyaluronic acid filler, like Juvederm.”

HA fillers are made from hyaluronic acid. HA is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that decreases over time. As we age, the decrease in HA can cause an increase in lines and wrinkles reduction of plumpness in the skin.

Once injected into the skin, HA fillers attract water molecules to them. They help to fill in lines and wrinkles, increase facial symmetry, add volume, and augment the chin, jawline, temples, and lips. 

Are HA fillers reversible?

Ideally, you’ll love your results and won’t need to worry about reversing your dermal filler treatment. Then, over time, the filler will naturally dissolve. Sarmiento shares, “The body naturally absorbs non-permanent filler, such as Juvederm, as it starts to break down. As it’s abosrbed, the skin rebounds and resumes the form prior to undergoing treatment.”  

Though, yes, if you don’t love your Juvederm dermal filler results, it’s possible for HA filler to be dissolved with an enzyme injection.
