Eczema. By definition, “a chronic, inflammatory skin disease, which results in widespread rashes and patches of itchy skin”. Also referred to as “atopic dermatitis”, this skin condition often goes untreated for years.
With all the buzz and misinformation surrounding injectables, it can be confusing for someone who simply wants to add a little plump to their pout.
We’ve all seen and heard the horror stories of “fillers gone wrong”, but when performed by a professional, knowledgeable healthcare provider, injectable fillers are safe and extremely effective.
One of the most popular options available currently is Volbella. Volbella belongs to the Juvederm family of injectable fillers, and is used to plump the lips, diminish fine lines, and can even correct asymmetry in a way that looks natural.
Volbella utilizes hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring substance found in the body that retains water. Not only can the molecule hold a thousand times its own weight in moisture, but it also works to prevent the water that has been absorbed from evaporating.

Volbella is formulated as a pliable, yet robust gel that is well suited for the delicate skin of the lips and surrounding areas. It is injected into the subcutaneous layer of the skin, and though initial results are immediate it may take about 2 weeks to see final results.
Clients report enjoying their results for up to 12 months, returning once yearly for a touch-up. The cost of Volbella can range from $400 to $700, depending on the number of syringes used, areas being treated, and desired results.
Fillers should only be performed in a medical office setting, by a trained healthcare professional.
