About Juvéderm Volbella

Juvéderm Volbella is designed with a very thin gel, making it a particularly excellent option for superficial lines, the delicate under-eye area, and very natural looking and feeling lip augmentation. It’s also great for softening “smoker’s lines” at the mouth for an overall rejuvenated appearance of the area. Cosmetic injectables are one of Dr. Halaas’s main services, and she is very happy to offer Volbella.

The science of Volbella

Volbella is made with Vycross™ technology, which is how it is able to achieve such a smooth, natural-looking appearance. Whereas some dermal fillers have a more granular consistency, Volbella’s Vycross technology uses a combination of low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, giving it an advanced cross-linked gel. The Vycross technology also means less swelling during recovery. In addition, Volbella contains hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule that we all have naturally within our body.

 Hyaluronic acid is a moisture-binding substance that helps to keep the skin plump, strong, firm, and hydrated — basically, young-looking. However, with age, our natural hyaluronic acid subsides, which is why we start to develop wrinkled. As a cosmetic injectable that is made with hyaluronic acid, Volbella has the ability to restore that plump, firmer skin because when injected, it binds itself to the water molecules in the skin, providing youthful volume and lift.

  • Are in general good health
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Treatment, downtime, and results

Volbella treatments are quick, convenient, and downtime-free. The product is administered using a fine needle, and contains lidocaine to numb the area. Most patients return to their regular activities directly after their appointment, although there may be some mild swelling for a day or two. Early results become visible in 3-4 days, and can last up to 18 months.

I was referred by a friend who got her lips done and the result looked amazing and so natural. The before and after pictures are extremely impressive. My overall experience with the office has been so welcoming, from the first phone call.

COVID-19 Safety Measures

We understand that there may be times when you miss an appointment due to emergencies or obligations for work and family.

However, due to Covid 19. and the current CDC guidelines, we are implementing a new ” no exceptions” cancellation/no show/rescheduling policy effective September 1, 2020.

If any appointment is cancelled or RESCHEDULED less than 24 hours in advance you will be charged a fee of $100. This policy will be in place until further notice and applies to new AND existing clients We apologize for any inconvenience but look forward to getting through this difficult time together.

At Dr. Halaas office, we take our staff’s and patients’ health very seriously. We are implementing safety measures to ensure everyone who comes through our doors will experience the highest level of care and the lowest risk levels.

Safety of our Employees

Each day we are taking our employees temperatures and going over a questionnaire to make sure we are all in the best of health. If anyone has a temperature over 100.4, or has fever, sore throat, chills, loss of taste, cough, shortness of breath, muscle pains, or headache, they will be asked to leave and go see their primary care doctor, or go get tested.

If an employee has been in contact with someone with Covid, we will ask them to get themselves tested, or they will have to quarantine themselves for two weeks.

We have installed a sneeze guard at our front counter for the safety of both our employees and our patients.

Safety of our Patients

Patients must sign up for our patient portal before coming to their appointment

  • Information to get into the portal will be emailed immediately after making an appointment
  • Information to be completed will be medical history as well as a Covid questionnaire
  • Covid questionnaire must be completed for EVERY visit patient makes until further notice
  • We also have a patient app, MyPatientVisit, that we can communicate with the patient when we are ready to see them

All patients must wear masks to their appointment.

We ask patients to come to their appointment alone. Minors may be accompanied by an adult.

Temperature will be taken at the door.

  • If they have a temperature over 100.4 they will be rescheduled and asked to go see their primary care doctor

Once patient has been cleared, we will escort them to their suite where they will be treated.
We have removed water and snacks from our waiting area, as well as all pamphlets regarding services.

Each room will be thoroughly disinfected in between patients
We encourage telehealth consults beforehand, so we can make a plan for when patients do come into office.
