At some point we all look in the mirror and notice an aging reflection. Many of us may have even contemplated Botox or other dermal fillers to help fight some of the more obvious signs. But there is always that concerned that we’ll end up looking like the woman or man with abnormally plump features, with lips that look like a rubber duck or a face that looks like a bloated fish. So how do we age gracefully with just the right amount of help from a medical professional?
The G Spa Medical Spa and Laser Center in Santa Barbara is happy to announce the addition of Juvederm VOLBELLA® XC to their spa service line up. VOLBELLA® XC is a new filler which can give a wide variety of very subtle and natural results in various areas of the face. So, what could it do for you?
Full, Luscious Lips
Juvederm VOLBELLA® XC is designed to give a soft, natural look. It can do wonders for the natural shape of the lips, help to create a more defined cupid’s bow (the double-curved bow at the top edge of a person’s upper lip) and alleviate the fine lines around the mouth which can make lips look smaller. The effects are designed to be very natural. For a more dramatic effect, Juvederm® ULTRA XC may be a more suitable filler, because it can provide plenty of luscious volume. Ultimately, a consultation is necessary to determine the most suitable filler for your unique features and needs, and to determine the best method for achieving the results you desire.
Cupids Bow
Improve the Shape of Your Lips
The soft consistency mentioned above makes it possible for Dr. Griffin at The G Spa to carefully augment the shape of the lips in order to restore lost volume without creating an excessively plumped look. Those who feel that the natural shape of their lips has declined with age are able to restore their youthful pout, and those who have particularly straight or thin lips can achieve a more defined cupid’s bow and delicately plumped appearance that looks very natural. VOLBELLA® XC is also a great filler for gently lifting the corners of the lips, which is ideal for those who have a downward shape to their mouth.
Reduce the Severity of Smile Lines
Nasolabial folds, the lines which run from the outside of the nose down to the mouth, are often an unwanted side effect of aging. However, they’re also referred to as our “smile lines” and are a signifier of all the happy moments in our life so far. Rather than completely smoothing them out completely, VOLBELLA® XC can add a touch of extra volume in order to gently soften them. It’s a great way to achieve a more youthful appearance subtly.
Minimize Crows Feet
Although VOLBELLA® XC is most frequently used as a filler for the lips and mouth area, it’s also a great one for gently smoothing away crow’s feet. Since crow’s feet tend to be very fine lines, the soft consistency of VOLBELLA® XC is perfect for adding just a touch of added volume to plump up the skin and create an incredibly natural finish.
Reduces the Appearance of Vertical Lip Lines
VOLBELLA® XC is FDA approved for lip augmentation and the treatment of perioral rhytids, which are the fine vertical lines which occur around the mouth. These lines are a major telltale sign of aging. Since VOLBELLA® XC has a very soft consistency, it’s a brilliant filler for gently smoothing out these lines while maintaining a very natural shape to the upper lip.
