What Is Juvederm Ultra, and How Does It Work?
Juvederm Ultra is a type of hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly in the face. It is a non-surgical injectable treatment that helps restore volume and smoothness, providing a more youthful look. Juvederm Ultra is commonly used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds (lines around the mouth), as well as lip enhancement. The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm Ultra attracts moisture to the skin, improving hydration and adding volume to areas that may have lost fullness due to aging or other factors. The treatment provides immediate results with little to no downtime.
The treatment process is quick, typically lasting around 15-30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. After being injected into targeted areas, the hyaluronic acid in Juvederm Ultra binds with the skin's tissues, smoothing out wrinkles and plumping up areas that have lost volume. The effects are natural-looking and can last anywhere from six months to a year, depending on the individual's skin and the treated area. Some swelling and bruising may occur after the procedure, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. For long-lasting results, repeat treatments may be necessary, and they can be customized to fit each client's needs.
