Are you looking for a way to reduce wrinkles and restore a youthful, vibrant aesthetic? Juvéderm Ultra Plus is an injectable dermal filler that is approved to correct wrinkles in the middle of the face and nasolabial folds, as well as to plump and contour the lips. This product is composed largely of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance found naturally in the skin, and can last up to 12 months. Juvéderm XC is generally the best choice for anyone who is new to fillers and has mild to moderate volume loss and wrinkles to correct. It can be used to fill in fine lines and mild to moderate facial wrinkles in the middle of the face, as well as to revitalize the skin, soften it, and reverse the first signs of facial aging.
Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC, on the other hand, is recommended for more advanced cases of volume loss or severe static wrinkles. It can also be used to reshape the lips. Belotero is usually used for fine lines and detailed treatments, while Juvéderm is more often used to fill deeper folds. Depending on the area where it is used and how much of the injectable gets into the skin, Juvéderm XC can last up to a full year.
After injection, fibroblastic skin cells in the treatment area produce more collagen than before, which improves the appearance and overall health of the skin. Juvéderm products have the ability to replace lost volume and moisturize the skin from the inside out. As HA attracts and retains nearby water molecules, the treatment area gains volume and an overall more flexible, elastic and youthful appearance. If you have any questions about whether Juvéderm is right for you, we recommend scheduling a free in-person consultation so that we can help you determine your specific personal goals.
