Juvéderm Volbella®
Subtle Lip Enhancement and Line Smoothing
What is a Juvéderm Volbella®?
Juvéderm Volbella utilizes Vycross® technology, which combines low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid to create a smooth gel that integrates seamlessly into the skin. This formulation allows for precise application, making it ideal for delicate areas like the lips and surrounding lines.
During the procedure, a trained specialist will inject the filler into the targeted areas using a fine needle. The treatment typically takes about 30 minutes, and patients can expect immediate, subtle enhancements that continue to improve as any swelling subsides.

Juvéderm Volbella® Recovery – What to Expect
Immediately After the Procedure:
Post-treatment, it’s common to experience mild side effects at the injection sites, including redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising. These reactions are generally mild and subside within a few days. Applying a cold compress intermittently for 10-15 minutes during the first 24 hours can help reduce swelling and discomfort. It’s advisable to avoid touching or massaging the treated areas to prevent the filler from shifting. Refrain from applying makeup for at least 12 hours to minimize the risk of infection.
First Few Days:
During the initial days following the procedure, continue to monitor the treated areas. Swelling and bruising may peak within the first 48 hours but should gradually diminish. To support the healing process, avoid strenuous physical activities, excessive sun or heat exposure (such as saunas or hot tubs), and consumption of alcohol or blood-thinning medications unless prescribed. Sleeping with your head elevated can also help reduce swelling.
Long-Term Recovery:
While you’ll notice immediate improvements, the full benefits of Juvéderm Volbella become more apparent over the following weeks as the filler settles and integrates with the surrounding tissue. The results can last up to a year, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated. To maintain the desired effect, follow-up treatments may be recommended. Adhering to a healthy skincare routine and protecting your skin from sun exposure can also prolong the results.
