JUVÉDERM® XC
JUVÉDERM® XC is an injectable facial filler used to soften deep folds and reduce wrinkles. This product is made up largely of hyaluronic acid, normally found in the skin, muscles, and tendons of the body. It is also used in the lips, and to fill in shallow places and scars on the face. Eventually all hyaluronic acid fillers are absorbed by the body, and you will need to come back in approximately a year for more treatments.
Before
After
We have seen remarkable changes here at our Ashland Kentucky MediSpa with the use of JUVÉDERM® XC as one of our dermal facial fillers. Older faces take on more youthful characteristics because hyaluronic acid is known to bind with collagen and elastin to move basic nutrients into the skin giving you volume.
JUVÉDERM® XC is 85% “cross linked.” When hyaluronic acid is in its natural form it's a liquid. Cross linking chemically binds the chains of acid so that it is transformed into a gel giving volume under the surface of sagging skin. JUVÉDERM® XC is a free-flowing product for injecting into sensitive areas making this process much more pleasant for the patient. The new addition of lidocaine integration has subjectively improved the experience for the patient.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does JUVÉDERM® XC Work?
JUVÉDERM® XC is a hyaluronic acid based filler that is placed under the skin which gives you immediate volume safely to the nasal folds, lips, and fine lines.
How Long Does JUVÉDERM® XC Last?
JUVÉDERM® XC is clinically proven to last for up to one year or longer. But again, the length of time the treatment will maintain is dependent upon age, skin type, area treated, and life-style.
What Happens Before JUVÉDERM® XC Treatment?
Before JUVÉDERM® XC, the patient should stop all medications that can thin the blood which will help alleviate injection site bruising. (i.e.: Aspirin, Advil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Multivitamins, most herbs, and homeopathic remedies, St. John's wart, etc.).
What Happens Post-Care for JUVÉDERM® XC Treatment?
Bruising at the injection site is common which can be easily covered by makeup. Temporary swelling can be expected which can be treated with cold compresses for several hours. It is normal to experience some tenderness at the treatment site for a few days. Avoid the sun and tanning beds for 3-5 days.
