Introducing a new category of hyaluronic acid dermal filler: Juvéderm® ULTRA.

What exactly is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found in the body that helps to hydrate and add volume to our skin. One third of the hyaluronic acid in the body is removed and replaced every day. Hyaluronic acid is used for aesthetic treatments and has been used by doctors for injection into arthritic joints to aid movement as well as for eye surgery.

How long is an appointment?
The injection process can take a mere 15-20 minutes. You’ll also need to allow time to consult with your clinician before treatment.

Will the procedure hurt?
You’ll find it relatively painless. The smooth consistency gel of Juvéderm® ULTRA allows your clinician to administer it easily and smoothly. It also contains 0.3% Lidocaine to reduce injection pain for a more comfortable experience.

Will I need to take time off work?
Absolutely not! You can have an appointment in your lunch hour and then get right back to your normal routine.

How long will the effects last?
This is related to many factors such as: Age, the area where you have the injections, quantity of Juvéderm® ULTRA injected, quality of skin, life style, and healthiness. However, Juvéderm® is the only family of HA fillers approved by the US FDA to correct moderate to severe wrinkles and folds for up to one year.

I’ve heard about dermal fillers – what makes Juvéderm® ULTRA so special?
Juvéderm® ULTRA is the ONLY family of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers to last up to one year. Juvéderm® ULTRA range consists of a smooth consistency gel that flows easily into the skin for a smooth, natural look and feel. Most of the other hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are gritty and granular in feel and harder to inject.
