JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC / Restylane-L®
Composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC is formulated with a special gel solution designed to volumize deeper facial tissues. This cosmetic injectable option can help improve the appearance of more moderate to severe folds and wrinkles, most notably around the nose and mouth. Also comprised of an HA-based solution, Restylane-L® is designed to restore lost volume, enhance skin elasticity, and improve the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. Like JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC, this treatment is also very effective around the corners of the nose mouth, and grooves beneath the lower eyelids.
Based on your individual needs and desires, Dr. Louis P. Bucky and our nurses and injectables providers will be happy to customize a treatment plan that helps you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance with natural-looking results.
Treatment with JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC & Restylane-L®
Since hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring substance found in the body, JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC and Restylane-L® do not require allergy testing prior to treatment. During each procedure, the filler solution will be injected into targeted lines and creases as well as any areas that need volume restoration. A special anesthetic contained within the JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC and Restylane-L® solutions can help minimize potential discomfort during treatment. Additionally, local anesthesia can generally be administered prior to these procedures to further reduce discomfort. The entire treatment for each dermal filler can typically be performed in about 30 minutes or less, depending on the number of areas being addressed.
Recovery and Results from JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC & Restylane-L®
Following treatment, some minor redness, bruising, and/or swelling may occur, but these symptoms should diminish relatively quickly. The majority of individuals experience little to no downtime and are able to resume their normal daily routines once they leave the office. On average, the results of JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC and Restylane-L® last six to twelve months.
