Answer: VOLUMA WITHOUT LIDOCAINE? I believe that all Voluma is packaged with lidocaine mixed in. The good news is that it is most likely the epinephrine that gives you these reactions, not the lidocaine. There is no epinephrine is standard Voluma syringes, so you should be in good shape. Epinephrine is frequently used in anesthetic preparations, as seen in the dentist's office.Best of luck!

Answer: Voluma and Lidocaine Thank you for the great question. The palpitations that you describe are not related to lidocaine, but instead to epinephrine, which is commonly mixed with lidocaine. Epinephrine is a vasoconstrictor and can elevate your heart rate and blood pressure. Juvederm Voluma XC is mixed with plain lidocaine and should not present these problems.

Answer: Voluma and lidocaine As indicated previously, Voluma contains lidocaine without epinephrine (adrenaline). It is most likely the epinephrine that produces palpitations as opposed to the lidocaine. If you do undergo injections, make sure the topical anesthetic applied does not contain epinephrine either.

Answer: Can Voluma be injected without Lidocaine As far as I am aware Voluma is not available in the US without lidocaine. Juvederm, on the other hand, can be obtained without lidocaine but does not provide either the longevity or the same improvement in the cheek area that is possible with Voluma. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
