WHAT IS JUVEDERM VOLBELLA?

Juvederm Volbella is a dermal filler that is specially designed to plump the area around the lips. Fillers do exactly what their name suggests: they fill the empty pockets resulting from age. As our skin gets older, it produces less and less elastin and collagen. These are the building blocks of healthy skin, so their depletion leads to unsightly gaps. Think of it like a balloon with no air; the surface looks puckered because it is not supported from within.

By adding volume to the substructures of the skin, Juvederm smooths wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.

Juvederm Volbella specifically targets sagging skin along the mouth region. The active ingredient in the Juvederm family of products is hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is naturally occurring within the body and it cradles moisture in the skin. In other words: hyaluronic acid does not just help contour the lips, but it also heals them from within.

LIP ENHANCEMENT BENEFITS

In addition to the many benefits of a hyaluronic acid based dermal filler, Juvederm Volbella increases the body’s own levels of elastin and collagen. The injection of Juvederm to the lips creates a chain reaction of skin maintenance and regeneration. As collagen and elastin form a scaffolding of support under the surface, your lips will enjoy the rejuvenating benefits of Volbella treatment for up to a full year!

COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURES

Your lips are dynamic and dashing. To fully bring their contours to life, you may want to consider Dr. Brown’s full suite of services. Some of the following procedures can be performed in conjunction with Juvederm Volbella, while others may need to wait for a future appointment.

BOTOX

Wrinkles on the face occur for several reasons. As outlined above, gaps in the skin create fine lines, which can be plumped with dermal fillers. Another root cause of facial creases is repetitive muscular contractions. Every time you wink, smile, or raise your eyebrows, those gestures pull at the delicate skin along your face. Over time, these motions create wrinkles, but Botox Cosmetic can address the situation. Botox relaxes facial muscles, smoothing out the lines they may create.

FAT TRANSFER

If you prefer to use your own biology to solve issues with fine lines, a fat transfer may be the optimal remedy. Dr. Brown can harvest healthy fat cells from various donor sites on your body, such as love handles, thighs, and belly bulges. After a gentle contour liposuction procedure, Dr. Brown will purify the fat cells to prepare them for reentry into your face. The filler material is your own, so there is no chance of infection. Once your body adapts to the re-injected fat cells, your volume will shine for all the world to see!

FACELIFT

Fillers are a wonderful way to add definition to the underlying structures of your skin. If you struggle with loose skin, however, you may need to address the issue more directly. A facelift procedure from Dr. Brown begins with strategic incisions hidden along the hairline to conceal them from view. The doctor then removes unwanted fat along the natural contours of your profile, celebrating its youthful structure. As Dr. Brown sutures the incisions closed, he gently removes any excess skin that obstructs your strength and beauty.

FACETITE

For a minimally invasive alternative to the facelift, consider FaceTite , the revolutionary technique that sculpts as it slims. FaceTite’s concentrated radiofrequency waves loosen fat as they simultaneously tighten skin. Unwanted fat is then gently vacuumed from the face, leaving a toned, taut look behind.

FULL LIPS, FULL HEART

Regardless of which approach works best for your unique facial needs, Dr. Brown can help you navigate your options. Juvederm Volbella harnesses the power of hyaluronic acid and triggers increased production of elastin and collagen. All of these elements exist within your body naturally, so Dr. Brown is merely boosting your potential.
