Juvederm Volbella is a non-toxic dermal filler made of a hyaluronic acid (HA) solution that is injected under the surface of the skin. Juvederm Volbella dermal fillers are used to define and correct fine wrinkles on the face and around the lips.

If you are looking for a subtle lip enhancement, then Juvederm Volbella may be the right product for you. Volbella is unique in that it uses smaller-sized hyaluronic acid (HA) particles that make it easier for your practitioner to carefully and precisely target small areas. Volbella was designed for use on fine lines in delicate areas, as well as to enhance facial contours, restore lost volume and soften creases on your lips and face.

Hyaluronic acid is produced naturally by your body, making Juvederm Volbella injections safe as the risk of complications is incredibly low. Hyaluronic acid is composed of porous particles with controllable porosity and pore size that retain water and keep your connective tissues, skin and eyes moist and well lubricated, helping skin look supple and plump.

It has been found that hyaluronic acid dermal fillers such as Juvederm Volbella can also stimulate the natural production of collagen in your body; since your body makes hyaluronic acid naturally, it does not reject the derma filler solution and instead it is naturally reabsorbed over a period of time.

Juvéderm Ultra and Juvederm Volbella are both injectable dermal fillers that are used to treat facial wrinkles and increase lip volume by adding fullness.

Juvederm Ultra is commonly used to treat more severe-looking folds and wrinkles on the face and has a more drastic plumping result on your lips. Juvederm Ultra is used on patients with deeper lines or for those wanting a more enhanced look; it will plump your lips and make them look fuller.

Juvederm Volbella is primarily used to subtly treat the vertical lines that form above your lips as well as to mildly plump your lips, giving you a more rested and natural-looking appearance, due to the smaller particle size. Juvederm Volbella is best for those clients who prefer or only need a soft lip enhancement and want to achieve a natural and proportionate look that suits their face while improving signs of aging.

To determine which treatment option is best for you, book a consultation with Dr Chow to discuss your desired results. She will be able to provide you with all of your options and help you understand what you can expect from your treatment.

The results from your Juvederm Volbella treatment will be immediately noticeable following the injection. The injection may cause swelling at the site, so consideration should be taken into account for that. Juvederm fillers have become one of the most common non-surgical cosmetic procedures done in the U.S. today and were approved by The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006 for use in and around the lips.

Results will vary from patient to patient, but it is not uncommon for some people to experience mild swelling, bruising and redness in the 24-48 hours immediately following the injection procedure.

It can take up to two weeks for your dermal filler to settle, at which time you will be able to see the final results. At that point, your practitioner may want to see you for a follow-up to ensure that the results were what you were hoping for and can inject additional filler if needed to touch up some areas. Juvederm Volbella results typically last about one year before being naturally and safely reabsorbed by the body. Dr Chow will be able to provide you with an approximate idea of how long you can expect your results to last and let you know what she recommends for follow up treatment in order to maintain your results.

Prior to having a Juvederm treatment, it is advisable to speak with a certified and experienced medical professional about your cosmetic goals and expectations. One of the benefits of Juvederm Volbella injections is that they are minimally invasive, so they can often be done on the same day at the consultation.
