While kissable lips our entire life may be on everyone’s wish list, it can’t always be the way. Age, accumulated sun damage, or simply genetics can turn your dreams of plump smile to a frown. Not only do lips lose their fullness year by year, but feathery, fine lines also begin to appear around the lips. And eventually, even the best lipstick cannot do its job.

But did you know, you can soften lines and add volume to your lips with the specially-formulated filler Juvederm Volbella? With a thinner texture than other fillers, Volbella is an ideal option for creating subtle, natural-looking fullness in lips. Developed by Allergan, Volbella has been used successfully in Europe for many years is also available in the United States.

What is Juvederm Volbella?

Volbella is an injectable gel made of hyaluronic acid, an important bio-chemical which occurs naturally in the body. Because it has a thinner consistency than other fillers, Volbella subtly fills in lines without making your lips appear larger. The effect is a smooth surface and a natural look and feel. And it’s not just the surface of the lips that can benefit.  Volbella adds youthful fullness from below, defining your overall mouth area and creating a level, even lip line.

Patients will experience only a minimal downtime from a Volbella treatment, and you can resume normal activities virtually immediately. You may have a bit of redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site for few days. Bottom line – due to its special hyaluronic acid formula, Volbella attracts and retains moisture very effectively, meaning your smoochable lips can last up to a year before a touchup is needed.
