How does JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC work?
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC works by combining hyaluronic acid with water, which results in a gel-like formula, which creates increased volume when injected underneath the skin. The successful injection process reduces the appearance of wrinkles, providing a more youthful appearance.
The XC variant nomenclature indicates the inclusion of lidocaine, a local anesthetic that reduces pain and discomfort during treatment.
This also saves time that would otherwise be spent applying a separate numbing agent.
Plump Your Lips
JUVEDERM® Ultra XC is a crystal-clear gel that is injected directly into and around the lips using a small needle to temporarily add the desired range of fullness for lip enhancement in adults over the age of 21. The lidocaine in the gel improves the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain.
After the injection, results are immediate and JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC will last up to one year, with optimal treatment. Whether your lips are naturally thin or aging has reduced their volume, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC will give your lips a plump appearance.
