Ultra Plus

Juvederm Ultra Plus helps correct mild to moderate wrinkles, restore thinning lips, and improve under-eye volume. At The Beverly Hills MedSpa, Melanie Speed, APRN, NP-C, CANS, provides personalized treatments designed to deliver smooth, natural-looking results with little to no downtime.

Different results can be experienced by different people. In one individual, a dose can cause a dramatic change, while in another, it could have no effect at all. As new collagen regenerates, Juvederm Ultra Plus injections should impart immediate results. After receiving the treatment, the treated area should appear smoother, and fuller, with more volume and definition.

About Ultra Plus

Juvéderm is a collection of dermal fillers used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and folds. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours. Juvéderm is a popular choice for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.

In contrast to Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus is a thicker version of it, which makes it suitable for treating more severe facial wrinkles, deep nasolabial folds (from your nose to the corners of your mouth), marionette lines (from the corners of your mouth down to your jawline), and to fill in cheek depressions. You can also use it as part of a “liquid facelift” procedure to reshape your facial contours or as part of a hand rejuvenation procedure to rejuvenate your hands.

Injecting facial fillers at various depths under the skin smooths out fine lines, wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and acne scars, volumizes and defines lips, contours the chin and nose, and plumps up sunken cheeks or temples to give the appearance of a fuller, lifted face.

FDA Approved

Juvederm is an FDA-approved, hyaluronic acid based filler. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin.

Conditions treated

The Juvéderm collection includes several different products, each designed to target specific areas of the face:

1. Juvéderm VOLUMA XC: For cheek augmentation to add volume and lift.
2. Juvéderm VOLLURE XC: For moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines).
3. Juvéderm VOLBELLA XC: For lip augmentation and correction of perioral lines (lines around the mouth).
4. Juvéderm ULTRA XC and Juvéderm XC: For lip augmentation and smoothing of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.

Benefits

Juvederm Ultra Plus is one of the few dermal fillers that have long-lasting results. The FDA has approved Juvederm Ultra Plus to last up to one year, making it the only dermal filler that is FDA-approved to do so. Juvederm contains high levels of hyaluronic acid because of the manufacturing techniques used to make it. Juvederm Ultra Plus doubles the duration of added volume and youthful looks from other products, saving time and money on subsequent clinic visits.

Hyaluronic acid adds moisture to the skin in the body. As we age, our bodies’ stores of this compound deplete, resulting in dehydrated, limp, and dull skin. The Juvederm Ultra Plus treatment injects hyaluronic acid directly into the area of concern. Despite the fact that hyaluronic acid might be your primary concern, it is also functioning to replenish the body’s stores as well. In addition to increasing your skin’s elastin production, this can also help you regain your natural glow. Having Juvederm Ultra Plus on hand can improve the skin’s health. Researchers have also found that repeated treatments and exposure to the hyaluronic acid in Juvederm can improve your skin’s function and appearance, extending the benefits beyond the injection.

Juvederm Ultra Plus offers transformative and immediate results with no downtime.

Candidates

Treatments with Juvederm Ultra Plus show results on all skin types and colors, but are ideal for smoothing deep wrinkles and folds, as well as plumping areas with moderate to deep skin depressions. Additionally, they are ideal for rejuvenating the skin on the hands.

Dermal fillers should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women. Dermal fillers should be avoided by anyone using blood thinners or suffering from a bleeding disorder. In the event of a bad allergic reaction requiring hospitalization in the past, you should be cautious.

Good candidates for Juvéderm include:

It’s crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if Juvéderm is right for you and which Juvéderm product will suit your needs best!

Results

It is relatively painless and fast to receive Juvederm Ultra Plus treatments. To eliminate any discomfort, a local or topical anesthetic is usually applied first. A tiny, fine needle is used to inject dermal filler, a thin gel-like substance, into the target area once that has taken effect.

Depending on how quickly your body breaks down Juvederm Ultra Plus, one injection should last between six and twelve months. Maintaining results requires one to two treatments per year. Due to the long-term benefits of creating new collagen, you may need fewer visits and smaller doses over time.
