First approved by the FDA back in 2006, Ultra Plus XC corrects moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the parentheses lines or smile/laugh lines around the nose and mouth, also known as nasolabial folds. Ultra Plus XC is made up of hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a sugar naturally produced by the body that retains moisture in the skin. The main ingredient of all the Juvederm “Collection of Fillers” is a modified form of HA. These fillers temporarily restore volume loss in certain areas, such as nasolabial folds, and the consistency of the HA provides for long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Ultra Plus XC is injected into areas of facial tissue where moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds occur to temporarily add volume to the skin, which may give the appearance of a smoother surface. The treatment may take between 30 and 45 minutes depending on which area of your face is being treated and the number of Ultra Plus syringes decided upon by you and your clinician.

The beautiful results of an Ultra Plus XC filler treatment are noticeable immediately after the treatment. Ultra Plus XC can lasts up to one year with optimal treatment.

The most reported side effects of Ultra Plus XC injectable treatments were temporary injection-site redness, swelling, pain/tenderness, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration. They are predominantly mild or moderate in nature and can last 7 days or less. If for any reason a patient has a question concern about treatment or recovery, they are encouraged to contact the clinic immediately. We are available to our patients 24/7.
