We Care for the Health of Our Patients in Charlotte, NC
Every patient is fully evaluated before any treatment, and our JUVÉDERM physicians and dermatologists always prioritize your health. It is advised that JUVÉDERM treatments be administered by a medical professional rather than in a spa environment. It is generally considered important to hold off on these treatments until you reach 18 years of age, as facial structure changes throughout the adolescent years.

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC injectable gel is for injection into the lips for lip augmentation and for correction of perioral lines in adults over the age of 21. Important Safety Information.
