What is Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC?
Is aging causing your lips to become thinner over time? Or perhaps you have always had thinner lips and are looking to enhance them for a boost in confidence. If this sounds like you, you may be a great candidate for Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC!
Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC is a hyaluronic-acid-based filler created for lip augmentation and the correction of lines around the lips. It works by attracting and holding onto moisture, adding plumpness to the skin for a rejuvenated look.
This filler is a great option to address the following:
- Thinning lips due to aging.
- Naturally thin lips that look unproportionate to the rest of the face.
Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC Candidates
Adults 21 years and older who would like to add volume to their lips for a plumper pout or smooth lines around their lips can benefit from this dermal filler. Individuals who are pregnant or nursing, have a history of keloid scarring, have an active infection at the treatment site, or have a history of severe allergies should not receive this treatment. Please contact our office to schedule a consultation appointment to get started.
The Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC Treatment
During your treatment session, your lips will first be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream applied to assure you are comfortable. Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC also contains lidocaine gel to improve comfort and reduce sensitivity to pain. Next, your skilled injector will use a very small needle to inject Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC into the lips or around the lips to achieve the desired results. Treatment usually takes about 30 minutes to complete.

These effects should resolve with time. In order to achieve the best results, we advise our patients to avoid sun/heat exposure and strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after treatment.

I was very nervous to get lip fillers but Nicole Devos did an amazing job. She was very informative during the consultation and made my lips look exactly what I imagined and hoped for. I highly recommend her!
