Are you uncomfortable with the wrinkles on your lips or around your mouth? If you always dream of having sexy and fuller lips that look youthful and feel natural, we have the best solution for you. At Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery, we take pride in offering a one-of-a-kind Volbella® treatment in Indianapolis and Santa Rosa. Here are the things you need to know about this injectable:
What Is It?
Volbella® is a new and innovative injectable dermal filler that helps define lips and correct wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth. Volbella® is among the family of Juvederm® fillers and was approved by the FDA in May 2016. The dermal filler is made of hyaluronic acid (HA) which has been developed using Vycross® technology.
How Does It Work?
Volbella® treatment is comfortable and fast. Although other hyaluronic acid fillers provide results by increasing the volume of your lips, Volbella® reduces wrinkles around the lips and mouth through attraction and retention of moisture. For instance, when Volbella® is injected into the skin, HA will attract water which will make your skin have a naturally soft feel. Therefore, it’s a perfect solution for patients who want to treat fine lines and wrinkles.
What Is the Recovery Process Like?
This treatment has little to no downtime after your injection. Although some patients experience minimal swelling after the injection, this subsides in less than 48 hours. Unlike other fillers, Volbella® doesn’t cause bruising to patients. This means you can return to your daily activities after treatment. Dr. Gregory Chernoff and his medical staff recommend that you limit sun exposure and strenuous exercise within the first 24 hours after treatment.
Am I a Good Candidate for This Treatment?
If you’re looking forward to long-lasting lip augmentation and correcting fine lines and wrinkles around your lips, Volbella® is an excellent choice for you. Studies have shown that the effects of this treatment last for up to 12 months.
When Will I Start Seeing Results?
Patients see immediate results after a Volbella® injection. Wrinkles and fine lines are usually filled, and the patient’s lips appear fuller, with more results being visible in two or three days. Patients who experience swelling from the injection see their final results after the swelling has faded away; usually, in less than two weeks.
