Juvederm Ultra XC

Injections don’t require much prep or aftercare. Because the filler contains lidocaine, the physician won’t need to apply a topical anesthetic to the patient’s skin before the injections. A skin care specialist will cleanse the patient’s skin and then inject the filler into the treatment area. Patients shouldn’t feel any pain during the injections. Instead, they might feel slight pressure and tingling as the filler is injected. Once the injections are completed, patients are free to go home.

Juvéderm Ultra XC is considered safe for adults when injected by a trained medical professional. Though the procedure itself isn’t painful, patients may feel slight pain within a day after the injections. Other common side effects include redness, tenderness, swelling, firmness, skin discoloration, lumps, and bruising. These side effects are typically mild and resolve within seven days. Allergic reactions after treatment are rare but can be serious. Patients should call their doctor if you experience breathing difficulties, hives, infections, scarring, or a rash. Juvéderm is not recommended for patients with any known allergies to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine.
