WHAT IS JUVEDERM?

Life is meant to be joyful and freeing. You should be able to smile and laugh as much as and as long as you want without the worry of dreaded “laugh lines.”

Juvederm Ultra Plus XS and Juvederm Ultra XC can help you do that while preserving the youthfulness of your skin. These injectable fillers temporarily fill out facial folds and wrinkles to give you a natural smooth look, especially around the corners of your nose and mouth, which are called nasolabial folds.

Some patients use Juvederm Ultra Plus XS and Juvederm Ultra XC to plump their lips as well. It’s the hyaluronic acid in the solutions that effective plump and smooth lips.

Treatments last for up to one year. They contain preservative-free lidocaine. This numbing component of Juvederm Ultra Plus XC and Juvederm Ultra XC ensure patient comfort throughout the treatment session.

Interested in eliminating “laugh lines,” but not sure which Juvederm is right for you? Juvederm Ultra Plus XC has larger particles, which can help patients with deep folds and wrinkles, while Juvederm Ultra XC has smaller particles. Only an experienced cosmetic specialist can help you decide which filler is best for you.
