New option available for women with tired, stressed and aging skin

Juvéderm VOLUMA with Lidocaine in Canadian cosmetic doctors' offices

TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - The signs of aging aren't limited to wrinkles; they go beyond the surface of skin to deep sagging. Treating volume loss through facial rejuvenation in a cosmetic doctor's office is increasingly common, and now a more comfortable experience.  Juvéderm VOLUMA with Lidocaine is a new product in the Juvéderm family of products available in Canadian cosmetic doctors' offices.

Juvéderm VOLUMA with Lidocaine is an injectable gel filler that uses hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar found in the body which helps to restore deep volume loss, smooth the mid-face, rejuvenate sunken areas around the cheek and cheekbones, and create volume and youthful contour in the chin.¹

"Facial volume loss is a gradual occurrence and the tricky part is that women cannot always put their finger on it.  Unlike getting grey hair or a wrinkle, volume loss is subtle and happens over time," says Dr. Channy Muhn, a cosmetic dermatologist at Dermetics in Burlington, Ontario.

"It can make women appear older, tired or drawn.  In fact, since cheeks are the number one marker of youth, cheek enhancement with a facial filler like Juvéderm VOLUMA is often the first step to truly refresh your appearance," adds his business partner, Dr. Nathan Rosen, also a cosmetic dermatologist.

Juvéderm VOLUMA with Lidocaine is the same formulation as Juvéderm VOLUMA, now with the pain reliever called lidocaine.  This is a significant addition as VOLUMA is a deep tissue facial filler injected into the supporting cushions of your skin.  The addition of lidocaine is a relief for patients so they have a more comfortable experience at their cosmetic doctor's office.
