JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC is an innovative dermal filler designed to add volume to the lips and diminish the appearance of lines around the mouth. It is also particularly well-suited for restoring tone to “mature” lips. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients over the age of 21, this injectable treatment is uniquely formulated to deliver smooth, natural-looking results that are clinically proven to last up to a year—if not longer—for most individuals. With JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC, Philadelphia plastic surgeon Louis P. Bucky, MD and our nurses or injectables providers can help you rejuvenate your facial aesthetic and achieve fuller, more defined lips without the need for frequent retreatment.
The JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC Treatment
Comprised of hyaluronic acid (HA), JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC does not require allergy testing prior to treatment. During the procedure, the filler is carefully injected into targeted areas of the lips and/or perioral region using an ultra-thin needle. Once administered, the soft, smooth composition of the JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® gel works to immediately add subtle volume for an enhanced—yet not overly augmented—appearance. There is minimal to no discomfort associated with JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC due to the presence of a special anesthetic called lidocaine within the filler solution. Depending on the quantity of injections, the procedure can often be completed in as little as 30 minutes, allowing many patients to receive treatment on their lunch break.
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC Recovery and Results
Minor redness, bruising, and/or swelling are possible side effects following treatment, but these symptoms should fade quickly and do not usually prevent patients from resuming their normal daily routines as soon as they leave our office. For the majority of individuals, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC results are apparent immediately and can last twelve months, possibly longer. To maintain an ideal outcome, touch-up injections may be recommended once the effects of treatment begin to fade.
