What is Juvederm® Volbella™ with Lidocaine?
It is a dermal filler that combines cross-linked hyaluronic acid with the local anesthetic lidocaine. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that provides hydration, volume, and support to the skin. The addition of lidocaine helps to minimize any potential discomfort during the injection process, ensuring a more comfortable experience for patients.
What is Juvederm® Volbella™ with Lidocaine used for?
It is specifically designed to address a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Fine Lines and Skin Depressions: Juvederm® Volbella™ with Lidocaine is effective in treating fine lines and medium-sized skin depressions on various areas of the face. It helps to smooth out wrinkles, restore volume, and improve overall skin texture.
- Lip Enhancement: This dermal filler is also widely used for lip augmentation and enhancement. It can add volume, redefine lip contours, and correct structural lip defects, providing a fuller and more youthful appearance to the lips.
How does Juvederm® Volbella™ with Lidocaine work?
Juvederm® Volbella™ with Lidocaine works by replenishing the hyaluronic acid levels in the skin, which naturally decrease with age. The hyaluronic acid molecules in the gel are cross-linked using Vycross Technology, creating a malleable yet cohesive implant. This allows for precise application and optimal integration with the surrounding tissue.
The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm® Volbella™ with Lidocaine attracts and retains moisture, improving hydration and promoting collagen synthesis. As a result, the skin becomes plumper, smoother, and more youthful-looking. The addition of lidocaine ensures a more comfortable treatment experience for patients.
