JUVEDERM® ULTRA XC

Description

JUVEDERM® ULTRA XC is an injectable implant designed and manufactured by Allergan, a globally-renowned pharmaceutical company. It is made of 24mg/ml cross-linked hyaluronic acid that is derived through biofermentation. Once extracted through the bacterial fermentation process, the hyaluronic acid particles are completely purified and reticulated using a chemical reticulating agent, butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE). For pain relief, the fast-acting anesthetic lidocaine has also been integrated. The resulting gel is viscoelastic and biodegradable, making it ideal for correct medium-set facial wrinkles as well as to augment the shape and size of lips. This medical device is fragile and sterile; hence, it must be stored in a clean storage environment with the temperature ranging between 2°C to 25°C.

MAIN BENEFITS

JUVEDERM® ULTRA XC is renowned for its quick and long-lasting performance. Once implanted, dermal defects are instantly erased, and these results are resistant to premature degradation. Besides that, patients who are allergic to avian-based implants can use this filler safely as it is free from any immunogenic animal proteins and bacterial endotoxins.

INGREDIENT INFORMATION

Facial wrinkles and creases are some of the inevitable signs of aging. These aesthetic imperfections happen when the regular maintenance process of the skin becomes sluggish. Biological aging can be further exacerbated by external factors like smoking, pollution, and harsh weather, all of which introduce skin-damaging free radicals into the body. Over the years, facial skin will display pronounced signs of aging like deep lines as it is constantly exposed to the elements. Juvederm Ultra XC is then formulated with viscoelastic and cross-linked hyaluronic acid and integrated with fast-acting lidocaine. Once administered, the filler will instantly smooth out wrinkles and plump lips for a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Following this aesthetic treatment, skin becomes more plump and soft, while lips are expertly sculpted.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

How do I use this product?

This filler must be administered intradermally under strict aseptic medical standards by a doctor who is certified and highly experienced in dermal filler injection techniques. Commence this medical procedure by assessing and analyzing your patient’s medical history carefully. You should also conduct a facial assessment, as it will help you to gauge the degree of correction needed for satisfactory improvements. Once they are ready, start the session by disinfecting the proposed treatment areas and assembling the medical device. If you are using this injectable to correct facial lines, then you will administer it via injections into the dermis. Alternatively, if it is used as a lip plumping filler, inject it into the lip mucosal membrane. Massage the corrected regions gently to ensure best gel distribution. Any leftover gel and used medical supplies are biological waste that must be discarded responsibly to reduce the risk of cross-contamination or infections.
