JUVÉDERM® XC can be used to treat a very broad range of anti-aging concerns. The developmetn of JUVÉDERM® XC (and other dermal fillers) has meant an end to common plastic surgery procedures of a decade ago.
While there are a variety of hyaluronic acid fillers, Juvederm® XC is uniquely formulated. A next generation HA filler, Juvederm ® XC uses a manufacturing process called HYLACROSS™ technology. HYLACROSS™ gives Juvederm® XC its special smooth-gel structure that holds up over time.
Because everyone’s skin ages differently JUVÉDERM® XC may be used to rejuvenate multiple problem areas.* From smile lines to vertical lip lines, you can smooth away unwanted wrinkles and restore natural contours.
UVÉDERM® XC is manufactured using HYLACROSS™ technology, creating a smooth-consistency gel. It is infused with lidocaine to improve comfort during treatment.
JUVÉDERM® and JUVÉDERM® XC Side EffectsJUVÉDERM® XC injectable gel is generally well tolerated. Most side effects are mild to moderate in nature and their duration is short lasting (7 days or less).

As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection.
