Ultra Plus are sterile gels consisting of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found throughout the body. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent.
These products are used to correct wrinkles, scars and fill in defects. There is not a required skin test for Juvéderm™ because
they contain no animal products, thus patients sensitive or allergic to eggs, beef or chicken are not affected, as they might be if collagen were used.
Juvéderm™
is biodegradable, which means that when the injected gel breaks down, it turns into water and carbon dioxide and disappears unnoticed from the body. Best of all, Juvéderm™
last up to one year!
When Juvéderm™
is placed in an area where improvement is sought such as
with filling deep lines, they create or add volume, and work as
a filler lifting up wrinkles while also smoothing them out. Juvéderm™
is also used for enhancing lips. Juvéderm™
will add volume and shape to the treated area.
