Juvederm Volbella® XC is finally here

What is so special about Juvederm Volbella® XC?
It lasts 1 year and has less swelling compared to all other fillers on the market.
Juvéderm® Volbella™ is an FDA approved gel injection into lips for lip augmentation and correction of wrinkles around the mouth area.

How old must one be to get Juvederm Volbella injection?
It is approved for adults over age 21.

Which areas can Juvederm Volbella be injected?
⦁ Smooth fine vertical lines around the lips AKA “smoker’s lines
⦁ Fix sad corners of the mouth
⦁ Define natural lip border or lip roll to prevent lipstick from running out
⦁ Enhance cupid’s bow
⦁ Get rid of dark circles under the eyes by treating tear trough area

What is so special about Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC?
It is a hyaluronic acid filler designed with patented Vycross™ technology, which results in longer product duration, greater lift capacity and volume enhancement.
The unique technology makes the product last longer at the same time minimizing any change of swelling as with current hyaluronic acid gel fillers. For people in love with Juvederm Voluma, this product is it’s baby cousin and will be equally loved due to its unique properties and safety profile.

What is the difference between Juvéderm® Ultra XC vs Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC for lip augmentation?
The key difference is the concentration of Hyaluronic acid (HA). HA concentration of Juvéderm® Volbella is 15 mg/mL and while Juvéderm® Ultra has 24 mg/mL for Juvéderm® Ultra. This change allows for decreased absorption of water from the surrounding area and leads to less swelling the day after injection.

Does Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC injection hurt?
No, because it comes premixed with lidocaine (numbing medication) for increased comfort during injection procedure, just like other Juvederm products.

What is the most common side effect of Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC injection?
As with any filler injection, temporary swelling and small bruising were reported.

How do I know Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC is right for me?
Please call for your expert consultation with Dr. Avaliani to find out if Volbella™ is right for you.
