JUVÉDERM® XC Filler
HA Dermal Filler in Bellaire, TX
Restore Volume & Hydration
JUVÉDERM® XC injectable gel is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved dermal filler that is designed to “temporarily treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds” in people older than 21. Unlike the original JUVÉDERM injectable gel, JUVÉDERM XC is infused with lidocaine to make its injection more comfortable.
JUVÉDERM XC is a smooth-consistency gel that restores volume to the skin, and smooths away moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds. It is made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a sugar that occurs naturally in the body to deliver nutrients, hydration, and act as a cushioning agent.
The Solution: Young, healthy skin contains a lot of HA, but factors that include aging and sun exposure reduce the amount, causing skin to lose structure and volume. JUVÉDERM XC is highly effective in restoring this lost structure, particularly in the nasolabial folds.
Customized Treatments
For customized treatment, Allergan, Inc. offers two types of JUVÉDERM XC to fit your specific needs. JUVÉDERM XC is also the first HA filler that is FDA-approved for use on people of color.
The Treatment Process
JUVÉDERM XC injections take about 15 minutes to administer in a doctor’s office. A fine needle is used for the injection, which is given under the skin in the targeted area to add volume or fill in wrinkles and folds.
Because JUVÉDERM XC contains lidocaine to improve comfort, an anesthetic may not be needed. However, a doctor may still elect to use a topical anesthetic on the area before giving the injection. Afterward, the doctor may gently massage the treated areas.
