Juvéderm Ultra XC in Denver

Not all dermal fillers are created equal. Juvéderm Ultra XC is a versatile gel made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps retain moisture in the skin. The “XC” indicates the filler contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize the discomfort of injections. Juvéderm Ultra XC adds volume and gives the face a smoother appearance.

Juvéderm Ultra XC is injected into facial tissues to smooth out wrinkles and folds, particularly around the nose and mouth. It adds volume to the lips for a fuller, more youthful appearance.

The procedure is quick, typically lasting 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated. Discomfort is minimized by the local anesthetic contained in the gel. You may request a topical numbing cream to enhance your comfort during injections.

What do I need to know about post-procedure care?
