Juvederm Volbella is an injectable gel filler based on hyaluronic acid for contouring procedures from the world famous holding Allergan. Used to increase lip volume, filling wrinkles around the mouth and nasolacrimal trench. Ideal for women with thin lips who want to increase their volume. Also used to remove small facial wrinkles in the paraorbital area. Hyaluronic acid, which forms the basis of the drug, is of non-animal origin and is completely compatible with skin tissue and does not cause allergic reactions or rejection.
Features of the drug Juvederm Volbella
The unique formula of Juvederm Volbella filler is based on patented Vycross technology, which glues long and short chains of hyaluronic acid together, allowing for long-lasting results. The combination of short and long chains increases the viscosity of the drug and affects not only the durability of the effect, but also reduces the risk of swelling.
The gel has a very soft, plastic and homogeneous structure, due to which it is easily distributed in the tissues, providing a natural effect from the correction procedure.
Juvederm Volbella contains three main components: hyaluronic acid with a concentration of 15 mg/ml, a phosphate buffer that reduces tissue swelling and lidocaine, which ensures a painless and comfortable filler injection procedure for the patient.
