JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus Reduces Lines in the Lower Face
If you want to address facial lines and wrinkles around your mouth and nose, consider JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus, available at our Little Rock, AR, practice. JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that can increase facial volume and fill deep creases. JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus is a more robust formulation of standard JUVÉDERM® that can correct deeper folds and wrinkles. The injections involve minimal discomfort, and you can return to work immediately after treatment. Best of all, JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus is safe and highly effective. After Dr. Suzanne Yee, MD, F.A.C.S., administers your injections, your entire face could look dramatically younger. Contact our office to find out if JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus is right for you.
Are You a Candidate for JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus?
If you want to address deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or vertical lip lines, you may be a good candidate for JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus. To determine the suitability of the treatment, Dr. Yee will evaluate your skin and overall health. If you have an autoimmune disorder, or if your skin scars easily, injectable skin treatments may not be a good option for you. In addition, JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus is not appropriate if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under age 18. You can enjoy optimal results if your skin still has some elasticity. For this reason, Dr. Yee typically recommends JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus for patients under age 65. In some cases, older patients have benefited from this treatment.
Note that JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus cannot correct sagging skin. Depending on the condition of your skin and other factors, Dr. Yee may recommend a facelift or other surgical procedure to achieve your goals.
Your younger look could last up to a year, and you can receive touch-ups as needed to maintain your desired results.
How Does JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus Work?
Dr. Yee will inject the smooth hyaluronic acid-based gel under your skin. JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus gel contains lidocaine that will help to numb your skin during treatment. If needed, Dr. Yee can also administer a topical anesthetic so the injections will involve virtually no discomfort.
By injecting the material at varying depths, Dr. Yee can fill facial folds and increase overall volume in the treatment area. Hyaluronic acid (HA) occurs naturally in the human body and helps retain moisture, keeping your skin firm and supple. Because of its chemical makeup, JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus offers lasting results, as well as a natural look and feel.
Risks and Benefits of JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus
Immediately after your JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus injections, you can go back to work and other daily activities. At the same time, you should avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and alcoholic beverages for 24 hours. You may experience some minor swelling, redness, and sensitivity after your treatment. In most cases, these side effects will fade within a few days. Long-term risks following JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus injections are very rare.

JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus vs. Standard JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus is similar to traditional JUVÉDERM®. However, because of its thicker consistency, it may be a more suitable treatment if you have particularly deep facial wrinkles. Meanwhile, JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus results can last longer. Dr. Yee will evaluate your goals and skin tone to make sure that JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus is the most appropriate option for you.
