When age and environmental factors begin to show themselves on your face, you may start to see lines etched around your mouth and a loss of volume in your lips and under your eyes. These are all telltale signs of the natural aging process, but you don’t have to simply accept them and move on. Aging gracefully also means feeling good in your own skin, which is one of the reasons patients choose JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC at Agullo Plastic Surgery.
What Is JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC?
JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC is an injectable dermal filler designed specifically to add subtle volume to your lips, smooth vertical lip lines (also called perioral lines, “lipstick lines,” or “smoker’s lines”), and fill undereye hollows. Like other products in the JUVÉDERM® family of fillers, JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC is made with hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in your body that helps retain moisture and youthful plumpness.
JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC’s patented VYCROSS® technology allows for the use of less hyaluronic acid to achieve the same amount of volume, which means you’ll look less puffy and more natural. Additionally, fillers made with VYCROSS® technology are more resistant to being broken down by the body, allowing your results to last longer and stay looking fresh.
JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC is FDA-approved, meaning it is safe and effective. It also includes lidocaine in its formulation to provide you with a more comfortable injection experience.
What Can JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC Treat?
Because the JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC formulation is so smooth and lightweight, it works beautifully with your lip tissue, making it ideal for first-time lip filler patients, those with naturally thin lips, or those who have lost volume in their lips over time. You’ll enjoy subtle enhancement, with your lips looking fuller, supple, and more youthful—naturally. The light formulation also lends itself perfectly to the delicate area under your eyes, where many people lose volume as they age.
Other benefits of JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC include:
- Smoothing of fine vertical lip lines
- Correction of lip asymmetry
- Long-lasting results for up to 12 months
- Minimal swelling and downtime, especially when compared to other fillers
- Built-in lidocaine for a more comfortable injection experience
Am I a Candidate for JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC?
JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC is perfect for patients who want a more understated and subtle improvement in their lip shape, contour, and symmetry. Good candidates for this filler treatment are adults over 21 who are nonsmokers and in good health. Ideal candidates for JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC are people with naturally thin lips or age-related volume loss in their lips or under their eyes, or who have vertical lip lines or fine lines around their mouth.
How Is JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC Performed?
Your JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC treatment is a fast, simple procedure that typically takes less than 30 minutes. When you arrive, your skilled and experienced injector will apply a numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure you are comfortable throughout your injection session. Once you’re ready, the filler will be meticulously injected into the targeted areas of your face using a precise, careful technique.
Because JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC contains lidocaine, most people undergo the injections with minimal discomfort. After placing the filler, your provider may gently massage the area to ensure the product is evenly distributed and the results look smooth and natural.
What Is Recovery Like After JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC?
One of the advantages of JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC is that it requires little to no downtime. After your treatment, you may experience some mild side effects, such as slight swelling, tenderness, or bruising around the injection sites. However, these side effects are temporary and typically resolve in a few days. If needed, you can apply ice to soothe the area or take over-the-counter pain relievers to alleviate any discomfort.
When Will I See My JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC Results?
The results of your JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC injections are visible almost immediately after treatment and will continue to improve as swelling dissipates over the next few days. You will notice that your lips look naturally fuller, smoother, and more defined, with fewer vertical lip lines and less hollowing around the eyes.
One of the standout features of JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC is its lasting results. Most patients enjoy their results for up to 12 months before needing a touch-up.
