Juvederm Ultra Plus XC Overview
What is Juvederm Ultra Plus XC?
Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is a robust, hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler designed to address deeper facial wrinkles, folds, and volume loss. Its thicker consistency makes it ideal for enhancing facial contours and correcting more severe signs of aging. Like other fillers in the Juvederm family, it is FDA- approved and formulated with lidocaine (denoted by "XC") to enhance patient comfort during the procedure. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is especially effective for areas requiring more substantial volume restoration, such as the nasolabial folds and cheeks.
How Does Juvederm Ultra Plus XC Work?
Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is created with Hylacross™ technology, which gives the gel its thicker and more durable consistency, ensuring longer-lasting and effective results. Here’s how it works:
-
Injection and Placement:
- Administered by a licensed medical professional, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is injected into targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula.
- Its thicker formulation is ideal for deeper injections to provide structural support and volume.
-
Immediate Plumping and Smoothing:
- The hyaluronic acid (HA) in the filler attracts and retains moisture, immediately plumping the skin and smoothing out deeper lines and folds.
-
Lidocaine for Comfort:
- The inclusion of lidocaine minimizes discomfort during the procedure, ensuring a more pleasant experience.
-
Long-Lasting Results:
- Results can last up to 12–18 months, depending on the treatment area and individual factors such as metabolism and skin type.
