Fortunately, there’s Juvederm Volbella XC the first and only FDA-approved filler proven to increase lip fullness and soften the appearance of vertical lip lines for up to 1 year.
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC may be right for you if:
- You would like to add subtle volume to your lips
- You would like to soften the appearance of your vertical lip lines
- You want natural-looking, long-lasting results
Are there any reasons why I should not receive JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC injectable gel?
