Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is a dermal filler designed and manufactured by Allergan. It is made of 24mg/ml of cross-linked hyaluronic acid that is derived from biofermentation. The gel is also integrated with 0.3% lidocaine, a fast-relief local anesthetic agent that alleviates pain during the injection process. The filler is clear, colorless, highly viscoelastic, and completely biodegradable. Following sterilization by moist heat, it is presented in a 1ml graduated syringe that is ready for injection which must be stored in a clean and cool storage place with temperature between 2°C to 25°C. This medical device can only be used by a highly trained physician to correct medium to severe facial lines as well as to augment the appearance of lips.

What are the benefits of this product?
Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is very much in demand due to its immediate and long-lasting results. Once administered, the aesthetic imperfections are instantly corrected, and the cross-linking technology help the gel resist premature degradation. Most importantly, patients who are hypersensitive to avian based fillers can choose this brand as the hyaluronic acid molecules are derived biotechnologically before being extensively purified.
How does this product work?
Dermal cells like collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are important to maintain the youthful exuberance of skin. These cells are continuously replenished and repaired as part of a natural biological process. However, this maintenance process decreases due to internal aging of the body, resulting in appearance of aging signs like dehydration, dullness, and formation of fine lines. To make matters worse, external aging factors like pollution, smoking, and chronic sunlight exposure introduce lots of skin-damaging free radicals in the body. Aging symptoms are further exacerbated which will ultimately affect a patient’s self-esteem. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is formulated with 24mg/ml of cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel. This viscoelastic gel mimics the texture of skin scaffolding to instantly plump facial wrinkles and creases. The integration of 0.3% fast-acting pain reliever, lidocaine ensures much-needed comfort for patients throughout the session. Following the aesthetic procedure, skin becomes smooth and firm while lips are plump.

Use Instructions
How to inject/administer this product?
Juvéderm® Ultra Plus XC is intended to be administered intradermally while adhering to stringent aseptic standards. During the initial consultation session, examine your patients’ medical history to ensure that they are suitable to receive dermal filler injections. A complete facial assessment will also help you to determine the degree of aesthetic correction required. Get your patients ready by explaining in detail the probable side effects that they might experience and the necessary aftercare methods to counteract these reactions. Commence the session by disinfecting the problematic regions and assembling the medical device. You can then administer the filler via mid and/or deep-dermis injections to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles. If you are using this filler as a lip augmenting implant, then you should inject it into the lip mucosal membrane. Lightly massage the treated areas following injections for good filler integration. Discard any remaining gel and used needles as well as syringes as they are biologically hazardous wastes. Please note that only qualified and experienced physicians can conduct this aesthetic procedure.
When should I use this product?
You can choose to use this dermal filler on patients with medium- to deep-set facial lines as well as thin or undefined lips.
What areas can I treat with this product?
Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is indicated to correct moderate to severe facial lines like nasogenian furrows and marionette lines around the cheek area. Perioral region and lips can also be corrected using this filler.
How long do results last?
The hyaluronic acid molecules are strongly cross-linked with each other using chemical reticulating agent, butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE). Once implanted, the gel is then able to deliver aesthetic improvements for up to year depending on patients’ skin health, age, and lifestyle. Nevertheless, this completely bioresorbable gel will be broken down and absorbed into the neighboring tissues gradually and patients can get repeat injections annually or as needed.
