What is JuvedermⓇ Ultra & Ultra Plus?

JuvedermⓇ Ultra and Ultra Plus are dermal fillers created to correct facial wrinkles, folds from the nose to the mouth, folds from the mouth to the chin, hollow areas in the cheeks, and to add fullness to the lips. Both fillers are created with hyaluronic acid, and absorb water under the skin. The main difference between JuvedermⓇ Ultra and JuvedermⓇ Ultra Plus is that JuvedermⓇ Ultra Plus has larger particles, thus providing longer-lasting results.

Who is a Candidate for Juvéderm Treatment?

Most patients who are struggling with facial volume loss, thin lips, or hollows are good candidates for Juvéderm filler. That said, you should also be in good overall health, have realistic expectations of treatment, be a nonsmoker, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. During your consultation, we’ll determine whether this is the right treatment for you.

Where Can Juvéderm Filler Be Used

Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus can be used in a number of different areas. The dermal filler can be used on the cheeks, under the eyes, in the lips, and around the jawline. If you’re struggling with volume loss in the face, Juvederm is likely the optimal treatment.

What are the Benefits of Juvederm?

Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus come with a wide range of benefits, including the following:

  • More youthful appearance: With more volume in your face and fewer lines and wrinkles, you will look as young as you feel. These injectable dermal fillers can take years off your appearance.
  • Improved facial balance: By filling in facial hollows and restoring volume loss, Juvederm can help improve your facial balance and jawline definition and give you the perfect overall facial aesthetic.
  • Boost in confidence: Most patients notice a significant boost in their confidence after these injections. With fewer lines and wrinkles and a younger-looking appearance, you’ll love what you see when you look in the mirror.
  • Immediate results: Once Juvederm is injected, you will see results instantly. That said, it can take a week or two for full results as the fillers settle into place.

How Is Treatment Done?

During treatment, our injector will apply a topical anesthetic to eliminate any potential discomfort. Then, a very fine needle will be used to inject the dermal filler into the treatment area(s). Treatment is quick, typically lasting between 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.

Results

Following treatment, patients may experience mild redness, tenderness, and bruising in the treatment area, though this should resolve quickly. There is no downtime required after injections, so you can return to your everyday routine right away.

The effects of both JuvedermⓇ Ultra and Ultra Plus are immediate, with the treatment area appearing smoother and fuller. JuvedermⓇ Ultra results can last about 4-6 months, while JuvedermⓇ Ultra Plus results can last about 6-9 months.  JuvedermⓇ Ultra Plus treatments start at $675.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Can you sleep on your face after fillers?

You should sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated for at least 48 hours after receiving fillers. Lying on your stomach or side can shift the filler, which would move it out of place and negatively affect your results.

Do fillers help with jowls?

Yes! Cheek fillers and filler injections along the jawline and around the mouth can replace lost volume in your cheeks and lift the face.

Do lip fillers last longer the second time?

It is possible that your lip fillers will last longer the second time since they are adding onto new collagen growth from the first injection. However, your metabolism, mouth movement, and other factors affect the longevity of lip fillers so it is not a guarantee your second injection will last longer.

Does juvederm look natural?

This depends highly on the skill and experience of your injector. Our team always takes a conservative approach to fillers to ensure the most natural result possible.

Does Juvederm work immediately?

Immediately after your injection, you may see smoother, plumper skin. However, it will take about two weeks for the filler to settle and for you to see your final results.

How long does Juvederm Ultra XC last?

Juvu00e9derm Ultra XC can last anywhere from 6-12 months, depending on the area treated and how well your body responds to fillers.

What is Juvederm Ultra XC used for?

Juvu00e9derm Ultra XC is most commonly used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and augment the lips. It can smooth marionette lines between the mouth and chin, nasolabial folds extending from the corners of the mouth to the nose, and fine lines around and on the lips.

What Juvederm is best for lips?

Juvu00e9derm Ultra XC is the best option for your lips since it is designed to plump them while maintaining a natural appearance.

Can I rub my face after Juvederm injection?

Avoid massaging the treatment area for the first day or two after your Juvu00e9derm injection since this can shift the filler and its appearance.

How long does it take for Juvederm to settle?

It takes Juvu00e9derm about two weeks to completely settle since its hyaluronic acid formula takes time to break down and work with your body's natural processes.

How can I prepare for a Juvederm injection?

Before your Juvu00e9derm injection, avoid anti-inflammatory medication such as aspirin for about five days before since these medications can increase the risk of bleeding. You should also avoid alcohol 24 hours prior to your injections and make sure to stay hydrated. When you arrive for your treatment, come in with a clean face so that there is no product on or around the injection site.
