Juvederm Ultra XC, approved by the FDA in 2010, is very safe, frequently used, and minimally invasive. While every injectable treatment comes with certain risks, you can usually prevent or minimize side effects by carefully following all aftercare instructions. In addition, giving us your full medical history will help us determine whether Juvederm Ultra XC is the best and safest option for you.

At Skin by Lovely, we provide Juvederm Ultra XC injections as outpatient procedures. You’ll be free to return to your usual activities as long as you avoid direct sunlight, high temperatures, and moderate-to-vigorous exercise for the first couple of days. Most people experience little to no side effects. Your Aesthetic Injection Specialist will give you post-treatment instructions; it’s important to follow these for best results.

Juvederm Ultra XC is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler, a gel-like substance which immediately plumps up your tissues. Its molecules increase moisture and volume to the area in only a few weeks, with some immediately noticeable results. This treatment excels at adding volume to your lips and smoothing out mild to moderate lines and wrinkles on your face. In particular, it helps correct hollow cheeks, nasolabial folds between your nose and mouth, and marionette lines between your mouth and chin. By improving your facial contours, you can look younger without surgery.

Each new patient will go through a comprehensive consultation process prior to any treatment with aesthetic injectables. Follow-up appointments and touch-up treatments are also recommended.

Your Dermal Filler Consultation

Your treatment will begin with a thorough consultation. While we need to ensure you are a good candidate for Juvederm Ultra XC, we also want to know your concerns and goals. During your appointment with one of our Aesthetic Injection Specialists, we’ll be able to address these and provide the best treatment plan. Above all, we want you to be well-informed of your choices and comfortable with us and our aesthetics practice.

Your Dermal Filler Treatment

After thoroughly cleansing the treatment area, your provider will administer the filler. Because Juvederm Ultra XC includes 0.3% lidocaine, a numbing agent, we should not need to use any topical or local anesthetic before the injections. However, some people prefer an extra numbing medication or ice application prior to treatment for extra comfort. We use a very tiny needle, which provides the greatest precision, as we inject the filler. The entire treatment should take only 30-45 minutes.

You may notice some immediate effects from the Juvederm Ultra XC. However, results will continue to emerge with best results visible after a few weeks. Most people can wait six to twelve months between treatments, making this an unobtrusive procedure for even the busiest patients.

It is also useful for filling in nasolabial folds and marionette lines. You may not be a good candidate if you have a history of scarring or hyperpigmentation, if you have a skin injury near the injection site, or if you are taking certain medications that could decrease your body’s immune response or cause bleeding.
