Volbella lip filler is healthy enhancement for your pout in Encinitas, CA
Why lips get thinner
Genetics largely determines the size and shape of your mouth. Consider the lips of a baby, they are plump, hydrated, and rosy, with well-defined borders.As we age, the lips change:
- Beginning in our mid-20s, our bodies produce less collagen, a fibrous protein that supports healthy, plump, youthfully-luscious lips.
- The upper lip thins and curls under, and we lose volume in both the upper and lower lip.
- UV exposure in San Diego's sunny climate accelerates the process, degrading and breaking down your natural stores of collagen. The lips are especially susceptible to sun damage.
- Meanwhile, dental changes and changes of the bony structure of the face contribute to the appearance of thinner lips.
Is Volbella good for lips?
This question is often posed to Dr. Lloyd, and for good reason. The skin on and around the mouth is very thin and delicate. Plus, the smile is usually the most prominent and memorable feature of the face. Of course, you wouldn't want to put it at risk. In the hands of an experienced injector like Dr. Amanda Lloyd, Volbella is safe and effective and has very low risk of side effects. The most common side effects are bruising and swelling at injection sites. This is usually mild and resolves on its own in about one to two days. In the interim, it can be camouflaged with high-quality makeup.
Aesthetic improvement is immediate, as hyaluronic acid supplements lip volume and bind with water molecules for further internal plumping. There are also lasting benefits to treatment as placing hyaluronic acid into the dermis stimulates your body to create more of its own collagen. While the hyaluronic acid in Volbella eventually breaks down and is absorbed by the body, fresh collagen remains, so lip volume does not revert to where it was prior to treatment. Your lips receive some enhancement of their own natural collagen which your body creates due to the Volbella being placed.
Why choose Volbella?
If you are looking to improve your pout by restoring volume to your lips, Volbella is an excellent choice. It is a good place to start, since results are subtle and natural-looking. If further lip enhancement is desired, additional hyaluronic acid fillers such as Defyne, Vollure, Juvéderm Ultra Plus, and Restylane can be used. However, Volbella is the perfect "gateway" lip enhancer, as it is specially formulated for this application. With Volbella, you get a soft pout for the most kissable lips.Treatment is well tolerated as there is numbing in Volbella and topical numbing is applied prior to injection to increase comfort. There is no downtime – you may return to work or play after your appointment with Dr. Lloyd. Due to placement around the mouth and constant use of the mouth, the longevity of Volbella is about six to nine months. Most patients are so pleased with results that they eagerly schedule periodic touch up injections to maintain fuller lips.
Volbella lip filler is certainly the best choice for treatment of volume loss to the lips and for natural enhancement of the pink part of the lips.
