Erase Fine Lines with Volbella Benefits
Discover the transformative power of Volbella, the next-level dermal filler designed to give you the youthful, confident look you’ve been yearning for. This revolutionary comfortable treatment is perfect for anyone wanting to smooth out fine lines and restore lip volume in a subtle, natural way. Now, let’s delve into the key benefits you’ll experience.
What is Juvederm Volbella?
Volbella is a cutting-edge dermal filler, made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in healthy tissues. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a safe way to restore shape to thinning lips, Volbella holds little chance for serious complications. The unique filler was designed specifically for the lips and the delicate peri-oral tissue around the mouth. Volbella smooth formula gives patients curvaceous lips for up to a full year.
Plump, full lips are the hallmark of a youthful, feminine appearance. Not everyone is born with an enviable pout and those that are may see their perfect pucker fade over time. Until the last decade, there has been little choice for improving the shape of the lips. Implants require an invasive procedure and long-term commitment that many patients are simply not ready for. Juvederm Volbella offers patients a non-invasive approach to youthful and fuller lips.

I have always appreciated the smooth consistency of JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC’s, which allows me to perform micro-droplet injections almost effortlessly, with less risk for lumps or bumps. The smaller needle also means my patients have less discomfort and pain during the treatments.

Injection Technique with Juvederm Volbella
Why choose Volbella?
Juvederm Volbella is unique from other dermal fillers in that the smooth gel contains a low concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA). Volbella uses Juvederm’s proprietary Vycross technology, giving it an ultra-creamy texture that injects smoothly, delivering organic-looking results. The formula is designed specifically for the lips and delicate tissue around the mouth. Taking in less water than traditional fillers, Volbella allows for better results with less chance of swelling. FDA-approved as a safe method for lip enhancement, the HA in Volbella is absorbed by the body over time. The results from the personalized treatment plan can be seen immediately and will last up to 12 months, after which time a repeat session is necessary to maintain the benefits.
How many syringes of Volbella will I need?
Lips
Most patients will need one syringe of Volbella 1cc for lip injections, with touch-ups being every 6 months to a year.

Fine Lines/Acne Scars

Volbella can be injected using a variety of injection techniques including micro-droplet with sharp needles to cannula injection method. After your injection, you will be provided with ice packs and encouraged to ice the injected area for the next day or two. You are welcome to reapply your make-up or concealer to cover up any bruising that may have occurred.

Volbella is FDA-approved for the treatment of thin lips and peri-oral lines. Off-label uses of Volbella can include tear troughs (under eye circles), acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Volbella Pricing
The cost of a Juvederm Volbella procedure can vary depending on several factors. The appearance of lip lines and the extent of treatment needed can impact the price. The expertise and reputation of the treatment provider may also affect pricing, as well as the location of the practice. Potential patients should consider these factors when budgeting for their Volbella injections to ensure they are receiving quality care and achieving their desired results. It is important to consult with a qualified provider to discuss pricing options and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and budget.
Preparing for Volbella Injections
Proper dermal filler preparation is important when it comes to minimizing recovery and increasing safety of Volbella injections. Prior to your appointment, it is important to be off of certain supplements and medications as well as to minimize consumption of certain foods that are high in Omega-3 and Omega-6. All of our patients are advised to view our list of “Things to Avoid” prior to injections or surgery.

Recovery after Volbella Injections
After your filler injection, it is normal to have some swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and bruising. If numbing cream was applied for your procedure you will still feel numb for another 1-2 hours after your procedure. Please be sure to follow our post-procedure instructions in order to minimize swelling, and bruising, and decrease downtime.
Risks, Safety, and Potential Complications after Volbella
Common and expected side effects of dermal filler injections include the following
Bruising
May last 1-2 weeks but bad bruises can last up to 4 weeks. This is normal. Bruises can show up several days after the treatment.
Bruising can be covered with a full-coverage concealer such as Neostrata, which we sell in the office, or Cover Fx brand from Sephora.
Tear troughs and lips are more likely to bruise because these areas are more vascular than other parts of the face.
Swelling
May not always be even from side to side depending on pre-existing facial asymmetry and volume of injection and bleeding at each injection site.
Initial swelling takes 2 weeks to settle.
Sleeping propped up and icing can minimize this side effect.
Avoid exercise first 48 hours or longer as swelling increases when working out.
Do not manipulate or massage the area as this can aggravate swelling.
Asymmetry
Asymmetry can typically be related to swelling. Wait 2 weeks before deciding whether asymmetry is from filler differences or swelling.
Please keep in mind that once you start to analyze your face it is not rare to start to “notice” new asymmetries that have been there your entire life.
Lumps And Bumps
The filler is going to feel firmer than your own tissue. Do not massage or manipulate the area.
The feeling of lumps and bumps usually improves within 2 weeks as the swelling resolves.
Subtle Results
1 syringe of filler is the equivalent of 1/5th of a teaspoon in volume. After swelling subsides there may be a need for additional filler injections if you desire increased volume.
Our doctors are very conservative and do not over-inject patients. Our physicians prefer to add volume slowly with time to achieve the patient’s desired look.
The first time getting injections, the results tend to go away faster. With repeated treatments, results last longer as you build your own collagen around the injection sites.
Possible Complications After Dermal Filler Injections
Hypersensitivity or allergic reactions
Cold sore or herpes simplex virus outbreak
Acne breakout
Skin necrosis
Intra-vascular injection leads to skin necrosis and even blindness
Sterile abscess
Infection
Dry Lips
Lips will also be drier post injections. Ice the areas and keep lips lubricated with Vaseline or Aquaphor. No more than 20 minutes of ice at a time.
Itching
You may experience temporary itching at injection sites, this can be normal. However, if there is severe swelling and warmth, please inform your physician.
Please notify our office immediately if you feel that you may be experiencing any of the above possible complications after your filler injections.
