Juvederm XC and Juvederm Voluma?

These are both Allergen HA fillers made with different technologies.  The way to think about it is that Voluma is like a tight french braid that doesn't let in a lot of water and therefore gives you a greater lift in the cheeks, while Juvederm XC is like a loose braid that will allow water attraction and gives you a plumper look.   So basically,  we use these products in different places in the face and sometimes layer the Jevederm on top of the Voluma to get the look you are looking for.   Hope this is helpful.  

There is a difference in the manufacturing process in these products. Voluma is a thicker product that uses Vycross technology. This make Voluma ideal for deeper injections, such as in the cheeks and adds to it's longevity. However, it is not the 2 years that is touted by most physicians. It is probably closer to 12-15 months. Juvederm is used in more superficial corrections, and will last about 9-12 months.
