Why is Voluma XC with Lidocaine more expensive than Juvederm?

Thanks for your questions.  The products are used for different reasons  in different areas to correct different problems.  If you are searching for a natural-looking increase in the volume of your cheeks, you are correct in wanting Voluma.  In my opinion it is the best product on the market for adding volume and lift to the cheeks/under eye area.  Juvederm Ultra is typically utilized to fill creases like the nasolabial fold (line from corner of nose down toward corner of mouth) and occasionally to add soft volume to lips.  The reason that Voluma is so much more expensive than Ultra is that it lasts approximately twice as long. Ultra typically lasts 10-12 months and Voluma lasts approximately 2 years and potentially longer.  Best wishes!Dr. Brown

Voluma is longer lasting (up to 18 months) than Juvaderm. Sculptra, Implants or fat are also alternatives for the cheeks. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
