Volbella Plumps and Reshapes Naturally Thin and Aging Lips

Volbella in NYC is a minimally-invasive way to combat the signs of aging and increase the definition around the lips. A natural decline in collagen causes your lips to thin and sag. Volbella is a part of the Juvéderm family of products and has been specially designed to treat:

• Perioral lines
• Fine lines on the upper and lower mouth
• Fine lines around the edges of the mouth

While years ago lines around the mouth were difficult to treat, today Dr. Hellman is able to treat this delicate area with great precision and ease thanks to Volbella’s advanced formula. Some of the additional benefits of using Volbella include:

• Instantly volumizes thin lips
• Smooths fines lines
• Produces immediate, natural-looking results

How Does Volbella Work?

Volbella uses Vycross technology, a proprietary molecular cross-linking formula from Allergen. Volbella is a soft gel that can be easily introduced into the skin. Made with hyaluronic acid, a substance that helps the skin retain more moisture, this dermal filler hydrates the tissue. When injected by an expert, Volbella can make a dramatic, but subtle change without making patients’ lips look over-inflated or unnatural.

What Happens During an NYC Volbella Treatment?

Volbella is a non-surgical procedure that can be performed in about 30 minutes. During your treatment at her Manhattan office, Dr. Hellman will inject a small amount of gel into the lip area. Dr. Hellman’s NYC Volbella treatment also contains a local anesthetic, Lidocaine, which helps reduce discomfort during the procedure.

After the procedure, you can return to your regular routine and commitments. It is normal to experience some temporary swelling, mild bruising and redness of the lips and area surrounding the mouth. The lips may also be tender to the touch.

To help minimize irritation and ensure the filler properly settles, do not rub or massage your lips or expose them to the sun for at least 24 hours after treatment. Dr. Hellman recommends avoiding strenuous activity, such as a vigorous workout, for about a day after treatment. Within a couple of weeks, any side effects should subside and your final results will be visible.

What Results Can I Expect from My Volbella Treatment?

After an NYC Volbella treatment with Dr. Hellman, your lips will be instantly fuller and fine lines will be less prominent. Most patients can look forward to visible, natural-looking results for about a year. Individual results will vary, depending on the patient’s skin.
