Similar to other forms of Juvéderm®, including Juvéderm® Ultra XC, Ultra-Plus XC is an injectable gel formulation designed to help add volume and smooth out wrinkles by replenishing lost Hyaluronic Acid. As a naturally occurring skincare molecule, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a vital hydrating molecule that helps add much needed moisture content to the skin – giving patients the youthful plumpness and hydration the skin needs. Unfortunately, as we age, as with other similar skincare compounds, Hyaluronic Acid stores grow depleted with age and as one of the most highly effective HA-based dermal fillers, Juvéderm® Ultra-Plus XC helps to revitalize lost HA stores, while helping patients to reduce the appearance of unwanted wrinkles and fine lines, while also functioning as an effective lip filler as well.
Aging Skin
As we age, our skin will often lose vital skincare proteins such as collagen and elastin – leading to lost elasticity and moisture. Without these vital compounds, the skin is often left without its natural defenses, leaving patients far more susceptible to sun, wind, rain and other environmental factors that can cause signs of premature aging to appear far sooner than normal. However, in order to protect against these unwanted issues, an effective HA-based dermal filler such as Juvéderm® Ultra-Plus XC, has proved to be quite effective – eliminating moderate to severe, wrinkles, fine lines, and lost facial volume.
Juvéderm® Ultra-Plus XC Benefits
When it comes to the Juvéderm® family of fillers, while each form offers a similar form of treatment, each of them are also specialized to treat certain specific skincare conditions or issues. In essencethere are several different types of facial lines and wrinkles that can appear including things like parenthesis lines, vertical lip lines, corner lines, marionette lines, crows’ feet and much more. And as one of the newest and most highly effective in the Juvéderm® family of fillers, the Ultra-Plus XC formulation is designed to treat moderate to severe wrinkles, nasolabial folds, facial shaping, and areas with greater volume loss. It has a thicker consistency, is injected deeper into the dermis, has an 8% cross-link formula, and lasts around 1 year.
