Volbella

Cosmetic Dermatology in Burbank, CA

Some people have naturally plump lips. Others might need a little help. If you want to have a full appearance in your lips or have noticed lines around the edges, consider using a dermal filler. Dermal fillers are injectable, soft-tissue filler that is injected into the skin to give your lips a plumper, natural look. Juvederm Volbella is one of the most recent FDA-approved lip fillers on the market.

What Is Volbella?

Volbella is a kind of dermal filler cosmetic dermatologists can use to define lips and correct fine wrinkles around the mouth. It’s made of hyaluronic acid and doesn’t require a skin test before injections. Volbella’s small particle size can also allow your injector to treat the fine lines without getting a full look in this area if your lips are already natural full.

Fast Facts on Volbella

• Areas Treated - JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA^® XC injectable gel is used for:
  • Plumping marionette lines (lines leading from the edge of your lips to your chin)
  • Correcting the downturn of the corners of your lips that forms the appearance of a permanent frown
  • Enhancing the cupid’s bow (the M in the center of your lip)
  • Adding contour to your lips by accentuating their outline
  • Smoothing perioral lines (lines that appear when lips are pursed frequently)
• Results - Patients will experience plumper, fuller lips that are healthy, natural, and younger-looking.
• Treatment Interval - Results typically last 6-9 months, although some people may maintain full correction as long as 1 year, after which there is a gradual diminishment of the filler.
• Treatment Time - 30 minutes
• Recovery Time - Immediately after the treatment, there may be temporary swelling or redness, for the first day. As with any injectable filler, there is a chance of bruising, particularly in individuals taking aspirin or other medications that may thin the blood. This typically resolves in less than one week. Your nurse or physician injector can educate you on ways to avoid or decrease the likelihood of this happening.
