Juvederm Ultra is the perfect antidote for those wrinkles and lines which can appear on our faces as we get older. Juvederm Ultra is especially useful on the areas around the lips and corners of the eyes. It can also be used very subtly to help plump out lips to maintain a youthful face.
Improving Appearance Immediately
Juvederm Ultra takes the form of a soft pliable gel implant called a dermal filler. This gel consists of a natural sugar complex called hyaluronic acid which is found in all living cells and is lost during the ageing process. With this loss, we also lose the benefits it offers, primarily the ability to retain water.
Juvederm Ultra can absorb over 1000 times its own weight, which is what helps the dermis increase and retain its volume and density. Juvederm supplements the body’s natural supply of hyaluronic acid and improves the elasticity of your skin.
Juvederm Ultra is transparent and is injected under the skin at a specific depth. Juvederm Ultra improves your appearance because it lifts and adds volume to wrinkles and folds. How Juvederm Ultra accomplishes this is in three different formulas each designed for varying stages and levels of wrinkles and folds.
Juvederm 18 targets superficial dermis for fine lines such as crow’s feet whilst Juvederm 24 is a little denser and targets the mid-dermis for moderate lines like the wrinkles in foreheads.
The last option is Juvederm 30 and this is the densest of gels that gets to work on the deep grooves or folds found between cheeks and nose. It is also used for enhancing the volume of lips and reshaping cheek contours.
