What makes the Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products so
special?
The Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products is the only line of
hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers that offers customisable
results proven to last up to *2 months. It's currently the only HA
filler to include an anaesthetic that makes the experience more
comfortable for you. It is also very smooth and natural looking,
meaning that although people may notice a difference, they won't
know you've had anything done!
What exactly is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found in
the body that helps to hydrate and add volume to our skin. Natural
hyaluronic acid is broken down by the body in one or two days so is
constantly replaced-as we age this replacement mechanism diminishes
so the moisturising and plumping effects of hyaluronic acid
decrease. Hyaluronic acid is used for aesthetic treatments, and has
been used by doctors for injection into arthritic joints to aid
movement as well as eye surgery.
Will the procedure hurt?
The smooth consistency of the Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products
allows your medical practitioner to administer it easily and
smoothly. It also contains 0.3% lidocaine to reduce injection pain
for a more comfortable experience.
Are there any side effects?
Following injection, you may experience slight redness, swelling or
bruising at the injected area. Your medical practitioner must
advise on this. Please be assured that these side effects should
not last and, after waiting *2 hours following treatment, can be
easily covered up with your usual makeup. However, do not hesitate
to get in touch with your medical practitioner in the unlikely
event that these reactions last longer than a week or if you
experience other side effects. All skin injection procedures carry
a small risk of infection.
