What Are the Most Common Uses of Volbella?

Clients in New City, NY looking for a way to smooth away the signs of aging on the most delicate areas of the face can rejoice thanks to incredible treatments like JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC. This versatile hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler at Bella Tu Medspa in Nyack, NY is a great option if you are looking for long-lasting and natural-looking anti-aging results. 

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC is a uniquely lightweight injectable gel that is ideal for treating areas of the face where the skin is exceptionally thin or delicate. This dermal filler was initially approved to restore the youthful appearance of the lips or augment the shape of the lips but has also been approved to address signs of aging in the undereye area. This dermal filler can be used with other JUVÉDERM products in New City, NY to achieve your desired results.

This dermal filler is frequently used on the lips to smooth away the appearance of lipstick lines, or the vertical lines that appear on the lips as a natural result of the aging process. As the lips lose volume, lipstick lines appear on the lips, which can make applying lip cosmetics more difficult. This dermal filler is also used to non-surgically alter the shape and size of the lips so you can achieve your ideal image. 

Some patients may use this dermal filler on the area around the lips, as well. Perioral lines are the visible signs of aging that appear above the lips and at the lip corners as the skin around your mouth loses volume. Addressing perioral lines and lipstick lines at the same time can rejuvenate the lip area and improve your smile confidence.

This dermal filler can also be used to address the hollow area beneath the eyes. Undereye hollows typically appear as the result of natural volume loss, but some people may be genetically predisposed to have thinner skin beneath the eyes. When the skin beneath the eyes is especially thin, it can give the appearance of dark circles and eye bags. This delicate filler can restore volume loss in this area to help you look younger. 

A few days before your appointment, you may need to stop using blood-thinning medications, such as NSAIDs, aspirin, and certain prescription medications. It’s a good idea to avoid alcohol before and after your treatment so you can get the best possible results. You can expect your treatment appointments to take at least 30 minutes, although appointments may last longer if you are treating the eyes and the undereye area at the same time.

After your dermal filler treatment in New City, NY, it’s recommended to avoid applying cosmetics to your skin for at least 12 hours. Cosmetics include lipstick, lip gloss, foundation, and eye makeup if the undereye area was treated during your appointment. You can use simple, fragrance-free products on your skin and lips to lock in moisture. 

We may also recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours, which means you may need to skip your regular workout routine on the day of your appointment. You should also avoid tanning beds, sunbathing, swimming pools, hot tubs, hot showers, saunas, and washing your face with hot water for a day. 

Most of the time, you will see the initial results of your dermal filler treatment about two weeks after your appointment. Your results may continue to improve as water is attracted to the hyaluronic acid gel that has been injected into the sub-dermal layers of your skin. 

You can usually expect the results of this lip dermal filler to last for one year. If you want to maintain continuous results, please discuss creating a treatment plan during your appointment. To maintain results, you may need to schedule a touch-up appointment every 12 months or so. 

The best candidates for JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC in New City, NY are those who want to alter the size and shape of the lips or reduce visible signs of aging on the face. Since this dermal filler is formulated with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar molecule that is compatible with the body, most people interested in this treatment are good candidates. 

You may not be able to use this dermal filler if you currently have cold sores, fever blisters, acne, eczema, or other irritation on the lips or around the eyes. If you are pregnant or currently breastfeeding, you may need to delay your treatment. As this treatment uses lidocaine as an active ingredient, you may not be eligible for this treatment if you have a lidocaine allergy. 

Addressing the loss of volume in delicate areas of the face can be challenging if you’re only using topical treatments. A dermal filler works by increasing skin volume from the inside out to smooth away lines, wrinkles, and hollowness. If you think this dermal filler treatment is right for you, schedule a consultation at Bella Tu Medspa in Nyack, NY.
