Introducing Juvéderm® Volbella®, the new gold standard for non-surgical lip augmentation available in Toronto at Edelstein Cosmetic. Volbella® is an injectable filler based on hyaluronic acid (HA) that provides a desirable improvement in the lip contour, boosting volume, smoothing vertical creases (smoker’s lines), and achieving symmetry – all in a single treatment session that usually lasts 20 minutes or less. Plus, it has lidocaine (anaesthetic) in it for a more comfortable treatment!Lip Augmentation – The Edelstein Cosmetic DifferenceJuvéderm® Volbella® is preferred to Juvéderm® Ultra because it has a smoother, softer consistency that mimics the natural feel of your lips better. Studies have found that results lasts longer, too. However, it’s not just the product alone that improves your lips. It’s also the injection technique.
At Edelstein Cosmetic, our talented medical injector performs a less traumatic form of lip enhancement so you’ll experience less bruising, pain, swelling, and, most importantly, a faster recovery so you can see the optimal results of your treatment sooner. Because our utmost priority is your safety, we have also designed the lip augmentation procedure to be safer as well, reducing the risk of infection, inflammation and blood vessel rupture. What Volbella® Lip Enhancement Can Do For You
- Diminish vertical lip lines (aka smoker’s lines)
- Accentuate your vermillion border (the outline of your lips)
- Plump up your lips to make them fuller (and more kissable!)
- Enhance the cupid’s bow (the “M” part of your mid-upper lip)
Clinical Proof That Volbella® Works
A European study involved the treatment of 60 subjects with Juvéderm® Volbella® for their lips and mouth area. The subjects were assessed at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after their treatment. Almost 100% of the subjects reported that treatment achieved their desired goals of lip fullness, and not one subject experienced a severe adverse event. Desirable, lasting results were also achieved with less product when compared to the amounts injected in Restylane or Juvéderm® Ultra studies.
One of the primary concerns of patients treated with HA based dermal fillers is how long the results last. Over 80% of the study’s subjects were still satisfied with their lip enhancement results at their 12 month assessment, proving that Volbella® does in fact last up to a year as it promises. The study shows that Volbella® injectable gel achieves a smooth and natural improvement in the fullness of your lips that lasts for up to one year.
