Juvederm

Juvéderm® ULTRA is a new generation of dermal fillers from ALLERGAN, a world leader in surgical and non-surgical aesthetic products. It’s a natural, biodegradable gel that flows easily into your skin, instantly filling out those troublesome lines leaving a smooth and natural look and feel. So, you’ll notice an immediate difference after just one treatment.

Possibly the biggest difference is that ALLERGAN have asked patients what they want, the most common request is that the injection experience is more comfortable. ALLERGAN listened to this feedback and have added lidocaine, an anaesthetic commonly used by dentists and doctors for local numbing to Juvéderm® ULTRA in order to improve the experience, and results seen.

The Juvederm family of products last longer than other formulas—at least 12 months due to the unique way they are made.

Juvéderm® ULTRA 2 Erases moderate lines, especially those around the lips and corners of the eyes and those very close to the surface of the skin.
Juvéderm® ULTRA 3 Smoothes wrinkles between the nose and corner of the mouth and around lips. It can be used very subtly to plump out lips in order to maintain a youthful smile.
Juvéderm® ULTRA 4 Works on the most noticeable folds and lines, and improves the contour of the face.
Juvéderm® Voluma : Re-contours the face to restore volume to chin, cheeks, and cheekbones that have become hollow or thin due to weight loss or age-related facial fat loss.

What happens?
Treatment with Juvéderm® ULTRA can be completed in as little as 15 minutes but it can be longer depending on which areas are being treated. Using a very fi ne needle your practitioner injects Juvéderm® ULTRA under the surface of the skin - at shallow levels for fi ne lines and slightly deeper for more severe wrinkles and folds.

Will the treatment be uncomfortable?
Not only is Juvéderm® ULTRA smooth flowing so that it can be injected easily and evenly but it contains lidocaine to help reduce any discomfort during the treatment and the effects of treatment are apparent immediately.

How long do the effects last?
The duration of effect can depend on age, how much filler is injected, where it is placed, the quality of the skin as well as general health and lifestyle. With Juvéderm® ULTRA, however, the beneficial effects can be expected to last for up to one year after treatment.

What are the side effects?
Following the injection, there may be some redness, swelling and bruising around the injection site. Most side effects are mild or moderate in nature and resolve within a few days, these include, but are not limited to, pain / tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps / bumps, bruising, itching and discolouration. There is also a risk of infection with any injection procedure.

How much does the treatment cost?
The price for Juvéderm® ULTRA vary depending on the treatment area you require fillers on. Prices start from £250.
