Be ready for the mistletoe

by Dawn Abbey December 1, 2016
written by Dawn Abbey December 1, 2016

Woman's lips with red lipstick and  kiss gestureWith lights low and mistletoe dangling over your head, a gorgeous new shade of lipstick is a start when getting in the romantic holiday spirit, and fuller, softer lips, minus those pesky lip lines, help complete your best look.

“An amazing new lip filler from Allergan, trusted makers of Botox and Juvederm products, was recently approved by the FDA,” said Muschi Morga, spa director at Cosmos Salon and MedSpa. “Volbella was created specifically for lips and lip lines and is considered the most natural-looking enhancement created thus far. And, of course, we offer it at Cosmos just in time to work some holiday magic.”

Until now, Volbella only was available in Europe and Canada. Unfortunately, some of the older products caused uncomfortable temporary swelling and the unpleasant trout pout effect. Also, they tended only to last about six to nine months.

“Cosmos always wants to be on the cutting edge of medical aesthetics. So, as soon as Volbella arrived in town, we were selected for the pre-launch, which means we were one of the first to become familiar with the product’s properties,” Muschi said. “If anyone is reluctant to try a lip treatment because of those women proudly sporting a fish face, they can be assured Volbella, as well as other well-known lip fillers, will continue to be customized for each pair of lips. We are all unique, and lips come in all different shapes and sizes. There is no standard treatment at Cosmos.”

As with other fillers used at Cosmos, Volbella is a hyaluronic acid-based gel enhanced with painkilling lidocaine. According to Allergan, what makes Volbella unique is its patented Vycross technology, which, through more efficient cross-linking, creates a softer, smoother gel, allowing for easier injection. Its lower hyaluronic acid concentration also means it is less hydrophilic (less likely to absorb water), resulting in greater lift capacity, reduced swelling and a more natural, longer-lasting result, the manufacturer further claims.

“A company-led study found more than 90 percent of test patients reported natural-looking lips, with more than 80 percent of them still satisfied with their results after one year,” Muschi related. “A year is an awesome length of time to retain lip fullness with a single treatment. While Volbella has not been out that long, we are liking what our clients do see and are maintaining.”

Volbella also works well to soften and smooth vertical lip creases (smoker’s lines). And the fact this formula is more like a silky serum makes it easier to inject and smoothly distribute.

“Again, one size does not fit all,” Muschi stated. “Please be sure to discuss what you wish to achieve with regard to your lips. Let our expert staff help you in determining if it is what you need. Often, we combine Volbella with a more hearty filler to provide additional support for the lips,” she continued. “Then, we add a syringe of Volbella like the icing on the cake. And no, it doesn’t hurt. Lidocaine and ice are amazing to ensure even the faint of heart can tolerate this quick and easy treatment.”

To get you ready for those holiday events, Cosmos is offering Volbella dermal filler for lips at only $299 per syringe, a $100 discount off the regular price. “We always offer complimentary consultations, so just call for an appointment or more information, and get ready to enjoy your holidays,” Muschi said.

For more information, call (480) 887-0671. Cosmos Salon and MedSpa is located at the northeast corner of Power and McDowell roads, in The Village at Las Sendas.
