Juvederm Ultra XC Overview
What is Juvederm Ultra XC?
Juvederm Ultra XC is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler specifically designed to add fullness and enhance the natural contours of the face. It is part of the Juvederm family of fillers and is FDA-approved for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and for enhancing lip volume. The "XC" in its name signifies the inclusion of lidocaine, a local anesthetic that enhances patient comfort during the treatment.
How Does Juvederm Ultra XC Work?
Juvederm Ultra XC uses a smooth, gel-like formula created with Hylacross™ technology. This innovative process delivers long-lasting, natural-looking results. Here’s how it works:
-
Injection and Placement:
- Administered by a licensed medical professional, Juvederm Ultra XC is injected into targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula.
- It is precisely placed to add volume and structure to the skin.
-
Immediate Volume and Smoothing:
- The hyaluronic acid (HA) in Juvederm Ultra XC binds to water molecules, instantly plumping the skin, filling wrinkles, and restoring facial volume.
-
Enhanced Comfort:
- The lidocaine in the formula minimizes discomfort during the procedure, making the experience smoother for patients.
-
Collagen Support:
- Over time, the HA also promotes collagen production, helping to maintain elasticity and structure in the treated areas.
Key Benefits of Juvederm Ultra XC:
- Provides natural, subtle enhancements to facial contours and lips.
- Long-lasting results, typically up to 12 months, depending on individual factors.
- Minimally invasive, with no downtime required.
- Enhanced patient comfort due to the inclusion of lidocaine.
Common Treatment Areas:
- Lips: Adds fullness and improves definition.
- Nasolabial folds: Smooths deep lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
