Juvèderm Volbella®

Juvéderm Volbella® is a long-lasting dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid. Volbella® is formulated specifically for plumping the lips and treating the delicate skin around the mouth. Volbella® combines different weights of hyaluronic acid to give lips a smoother, natural feel while plumping the lips and filling the vertical lines around the mouth. Juvéderm Volbella® is the thinnest of all of the Juvéderm® fillers. Juvéderm Voluma®, Juvéderm® Ultra, and Juvéderm® Ultra Plus would be too thick to treat the lips. Our NYC dermatologists of Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Carnegie Hill can help determine which filler is right for you.

Procedure

Juvéderm Volbella® is the ideal filler for the lips. If you’re frustrated by vertical creases around your mouth, commonly called lipstick lines or smokers’ lines, Volbella® lip filler can help. Volbella® can achieve fuller, plumper lips while still feeling and looking natural. Juvéderm Volbella® is a hyaluronic acid filler, which is a sugar that is found naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid absorbs water, delivers nutrients, and acts as a cushioning agent. Hyaluronic acid injections can encourage the production of collagen and elastin to plump the skin and help reduce wrinkles over time.

The thin consistency of Juvéderm Volbella® makes it highly effective for treating areas of the face such as the lips and under the eyes. When injected strategically by an experienced dermatologist, Juvéderm Volbella® can provide significant improvements to thinning lips, uneven lips, fine lines, and much more. The results of Juvéderm Volbella® are long-lasting and natural-looking.

Benefits

Safety

Juvéderm Volbella® is FDA-approved and safe for use. If you’re allergic or have a sensitivity to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine, then you should not undergo Volbella® treatment. Patients with severe allergies manifested by a history of anaphylaxis or the presence of multiple allergies should not receive Juvéderm Volbella®. Additionally, if you have just had laser treatment, deep chemical peeling, or dermabrasion, then you should not receive dermal fillers. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant, you should speak with your doctor before opting for Volbella® injections. If you’ve ever had an allergic reaction to any type of cosmetic injectable, you should share this with your doctor. Anyone who has recently used blood thinners or has a bleeding disorder should avoid dermal fillers.

When considering Juvéderm Volbella® it is important to choose a dermatologist that has experience injecting dermal fillers. Our dermatologists specialize in cosmetic injectables and dermal fillers and have extensive experience administering Juvéderm Volbella® to ensure the best possible results. Our team can advise you as to whether Volbella® is right for you.

Results

To maximize the results of Juvéderm Volbella®, patients should ensure they follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by their dermatologist.
