Filled with confidence: Voluma XC injections in North County San Diego

A youthful face is widest at the cheekbones, tapering to the chin. When we are young, fat, hydration, and bone structure create this attractive balance. As we age, we lose facial volume which is especially noticeable in the apples of the cheeks. Planes of the face become more severe, and volume loss in the mid-face allows skin to sag at the mouth and jowls. Dr. Amanda Lloyd in Encinitas recommends Voluma XC injections to restore this lost volume . . . and self-assurance in a rejuvenated appearance.

Injecting confidence

Hyaluronic acid(HA) is found naturally in the skin. HA binds with water to both hydrate and volumize the skin.Hyaluronic acid is damaged by the sun and degrades with age, both contributing to the aged look. Voluma XC is an injectable hyaluronic acid formulated with Vycross technology to replace that lost hydration and volume. It is FDA-approved for deep injection into the cheek area, to boost volume.

Dr. Lloyd is experienced in working with Voluma alone and in combination with other dermal fillers to provide a liquid facelift and achieve optimal natural-looking results.
