JUVÉDERM® XC
JUVÉDERM
® XC is the first and only FDA-approved HA filler that lasts up to 1 year with 1 treatment. Innovative HYLACROSS™ technology makes JUVÉDERM
® XC the first smooth-consistency gel that flows easily and consistently into the skin. Patients can expect smooth, natural-looking results with the improved comfort they want. Everyone’s skin ages differently and 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.
How JUVÉDERM® XC Works:
JUVÉDERM
® XC adds volume to the skin, instantly rejuvenating the area. Young, healthy-looking skin contains an abundance of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). But as you age, sunlight and other factors can reduce the amount of HA in your skin. The lack of HA causes your skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds – like those parentheses lines around your nose and mouth. Using a dermal filler like JUVÉDERM
® XC is a safe and effective way to replace the HA your skin has lost, bringing back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds.
Understanding Where Wrinkles Form:
Your skin consists of two layers known as the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis, or outer layer of the skin, acts as the skin’s primary defense against the environment. The dermis, or innermost layer of the skin, is composed primarily of connective tissue and provides the skin with a support network. Most facial wrinkles and deeper nasolabial folds occur within the dermal layer of the skin.
Our Skin’s Natural Moisturizer:
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring molecule. Much like a sponge, its primary function is to bind and absorb water, which creates volume in the face. In this way, Hyaluronic acid can be thought of as the body’s internal moisturizer. But, as we age, HA diminishes, which contributes to the presence of lines and folds. JUVÉDERM
® XC injectable gel works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to diminish wrinkles and nasolabial folds.
Experiencing Rejuvenation:
JUVÉDERM
® XC dermal filler is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment for nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles. Using a fine needle, your healthcare professional eases JUVÉDERM
® XC under the skin to fill the soft tissue of the dermis. This adds volume and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and nasolabial folds instantly. While there are a variety of hyaluronic acid fillers, JUVÉDERM
® XC is uniquely formulated. A next generation HA filler, JUVÉDERM
® XC uses a manufacturing process called HYLACROSS™ technology. HYLACROSS™ gives JUVÉDERM
® XC its special smooth-gel structure that holds up over time. That’s why JUVÉDERM
® XC is the first smooth-consistency HA gel and the only HA filler that’s FDA approved to last up to one year with only one treatment.
