Dermal Fillers/Injectables
Impressions of beauty change over time, as do our faces when we age. Smoothing out folds and wrinkles or enhancing lips with dermal filler injections by adding volume can make an enormous difference in one's appearance.
Among fillers, there is a wide variety of methods and substances that may enhance facial features. With dermal filler injections, this can now be carried out without the use of foreign substances. JUVEDERM XC Ultra and JUVEDERM XC Ultra Plus contain the body's own natural material, hyaluronic acid, which is present in all living organisms. In the skin it creates volume, resulting in a healthy and vital appearance. Since the hyaluronic acid in JUVEDERM XC is not made from animals, there is no risk of transmitting diseases from animals or eliciting allergic reactions in patients who are sensitive to common foods, such as beef, chicken and eggs.
JUVEDERM XC Ultra injections are intended for wrinkle correction and lip augmentation.
JUVEDERM XC Ultra Plus injections can be used for shaping facial contours (such as in the cheeks and chin), correcting deep folds, and for lip augmentation.
Fast and safe method with immediate results.
With JUVDERM XC Ultra and JUVEDERM XC Ultra Plus you can have the treatment performed immediately. When treating wrinkles or folds, dermal fillers are injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very thin needle. The injections give natural volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted up and smoothed out. A treatment takes about 15 minutes and the results can be seen immediately.
JUVEDERM XC Ultra and JUVEDERM XC Ultra Plus is biodegradable which means that they will gradually be absorbed. As the gel breaks down, water takes its place, and when totally absorbed, the gel disappears unnoticed from the body. How long a treatment holds its effect is very individual. This depends on many factors, such as your age, skin type, lifestyle, and muscle activity, as well as on the injection technique. Clinical trials show that JUVEDERM XC Ultra and JUVEDERM XC Ultra Plus are effective for up to six months after lip augmentation and up to twelve months after facial contouring.
JUVEDERM XC is formulated with lidocine, a common anesthetic, to provide a more comfortable experience during and after treatment. It provides the smooth, natural-looking results you expect with the improved comfort you want. JUVEDERM XC is the first smooth-consistency HA filler that's FDA approved to last up to 1 year with only 1 treatment.
Post-treatment
After treatment you may experience some swelling, tenderness, bruising and redness. This is a normal result of the injection and the above symptoms generally disappear in two to four days. Injections are fast, safe and leave no scars or other traces on the face.
