Juvederm Volbella is a soft, smooth gel suitable for adding subtle volume to the lips and softening the appearance of perioral lines. The gel fills in lip lines and wrinkles while the hyaluronic acid within attracts and retains moisture, so results can last up to one year.
As a prominent leader in injectable treatments, Dr. Greene was selected by Allergan as one of the first physicians in the United States to offer Juvederm Volbella.
