Juvederm Volbella XC
Juvederm Volbella XC is a revolutionary filler from Allergan which is transforming the way we treat “smokers lines”. With soft, natural and incredibly long-lasting results, Volbella is FDA-approved for treating perioral rhytids and is the injectable of choice for those who want to gently and subtly enhance the shape of their lips. If you are looking for Juvederm Volbella in Austin, you can get in touch with our med spa experts, who will help give you the full, natural-looking lips of your dreams.
What Are Perioral Rhytids?
Perioral rhytids, often referred to as perioral lines, are wrinkles around the edges of the lips. They can consist of very fine horizontal lines or deeper set wrinkles, and most commonly begin to make an appearance after the age of 40.
A major sign of aging, these lines are sometimes referred to as “smoker’s lines” because they are common in those who smoke, the process of puckering the lips repeatedly around a cigarette being the cause. However, perioral rhytids can also occur in nonsmokers. Sun damage can increase the likelihood of lines appearing, and some people are simply more likely to develop them as a result of their genetics.
How Can Volbella Help?
Juvederm Volbella XC has been specifically designed to alleviate perioral lines in a way that other fillers cannot match. Our Austin Juvederm Volbella treatment works by gently increasing the volume of the lips, which works to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, without creating an over-enhanced pout.
Loss of volume in the lips is a very common effect of aging along with perioral lines, which is why Volbella is an excellent choice for those who feel they have lost the natural shape of their lips, as a result of unsightly lines and volume loss. By carefully injecting Volbella into multiple areas of the lips, it is possible to restore the natural shape of the lips, minimizing the appearance of undesired lines and creating a more youthful-looking pout.
Since Volbella has such a soft consistency, it can also be used to gently smooth out crows feet, add a touch of extra volume to nasolabial folds (the lines which run from the outside of the nose to the outside of the mouth), and even smooth out other fine wrinkles on your face.
Natural Results
What makes Juvederm Volbella XC such a pioneering lip filler is its unique formulation which gives an incredibly smooth, natural finish. For those who want to reduce the appearance of lines around the mouth, but do not want their lips to be dramatically enhanced with too much volume, Volbella is the perfect compromise, as it allows our clinicians to create a more subtle, naturally plumped pout and minimize the appearance of fine lines around the lips.
The key to Volbella’s natural results is the inclusion of Vycross, a filler technology that Allergan has produced to create incredibly smooth injectable products. Vycross was first introduced to the market in 2013 when it was included in the formulation for Juvederm Voluma, a filler that is designed to alleviate volume loss throughout the face. The same natural results that Voluma provides can now be achieved for the lips, too.
Results That Last
By blending different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid in Volbella, Allergan has managed to create a filler that provides results for just as long as other well-established and popular Juvederm fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a key substance in fillers because it attracts and retains moisture that leads to lasting results. Although Volbella contains lower concentrations of hyaluronic acids, it can still provide a plumping effect for as long as 12 months, an impressive feat compared to other fillers.
Clinically Proven to Give Fantastic Results
In a US clinical study, 168 people underwent Volbella fillers to determine the safety and effectiveness of the product. Two-thirds of the subjects showed improvement in both lip fullness and perioral lines over the course of one year. The study also proved Volbella to be an incredibly safe treatment, with only a small number of test subjects experiencing mild, temporary side effects such as redness, bruising and tenderness, all of which dissipated within 30 days.
Does Volbella Hurt?
As with any other type of filler, it’s not uncommon to experience slight discomfort at the beginning of the procedure. However, a local anesthetic is included in the Volbella formula, which works to gently numb the treated area; once this painkiller quickly kicks in, you should find the treatment to be very comfortable.
