"Our physician customers have told us perioral lines are difficult to treat and are also a top concern among patients," said David Moatazedi, Senior Vice President US Medical Aesthetics.  "We developed a soft, smooth gel appropriate for adding subtle volume to the lips and softening the appearance of perioral lines to address this specific need.  We are committed to providing our doctors with products to address the evolving needs of their aesthetically-oriented patients."

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), use of soft tissue fillers in 2015 was the fastest growing cosmetic minimally-invasive procedure.3 JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC is approved specifically for the lips and perioral rhytids. JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC is formulated with VYCROSS®,2 a proprietary filler technology from Allergan, which yields smooth products that have been engineered to address specific patient concerns.4 " The most common side effects observed in clinical trials were temporary responses at the treatment site such as swelling, tenderness, bruising, firmness lumps/bumps, redness, pain, discoloration, itching and dryness. Most of these side effects resolved within 30 days.2

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC is now available for purchase by physicians who have completed an online training program. Physicians can find information about injection technique and complete the online training by visiting www.VolbellaTraining.com.

Consumers can learn more about JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC and the JUVÉDERM® collection of fillers or find a doctor in their area by visiting www.juvederm.com.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Are there any reasons why I should not receive JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC injectable gel?
Do not use this product if you have a history of multiple severe allergies or severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), or if you are allergic to lidocaine or Gram-positive bacterial proteins used in these products.

What precautions should my doctor advise me about?

  • Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The safety of JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding has not been studied
  • The safety of JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC in patients under 22 years has not been studied
  • The safety and effectiveness of JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC in areas other than the lips and perioral area have not been established in controlled clinical studies
  • Tell your doctor if you have a history of excessive scarring (eg, hypertrophic scarring and keloid formations) or pigmentation disorders, as use of JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC may result in additional scars or changes in pigmentation
  • Tell your doctor if you are planning other laser treatments or a chemical peel, as there is a possible risk of inflammation at the treatment site if these procedures are performed after treatment
  • Patients who experience skin injury near the site of injection with this product may be at a higher risk for side effects
  • Tell your doctor if you are on immunosuppressive therapy used to decrease the body's immune response, as use of JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC may result in an increased risk of infection
  • Tell your doctor if you are using medications that can prolong bleeding, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners, as this may result in increased bruising or bleeding at the injection site
  • Minimize strenuous exercise, exposure to extensive sun or heat, and alcoholic beverages within the first 24 hours following treatment

What are possible side effects?
The most common side effects include swelling, tenderness, bruising, firmness, lumps/bumps, redness, pain, discoloration, itching, and dryness. Most side effects are mild or moderate and last 30 days or less.

One of the risks with using this product is unintentional injection into a blood vessel, and, while rare, the complications can be serious and may be permanent. These complications, which have been reported for facial injections, can include vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring.

As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection.
