Juvederm Ultra 4 is an advanced 3D hyaluronic acid matrix dermal filler manufactured by Allergan. This face filler contains cross-linked hyaluronic acid with 0.3% lidocaine, a local anesthetic that will provide comfort during and after injection.

Use Juvederm Ultra 4 to help correct deep wrinkles and lines on the face. The thick consistency helps to fill gaps under the skin and provide structure and support for a youthful and revitalized appearance. This amazing formula is recommended for correction of deep depressions on the face, as well as for lip volume.

It is specifically designed to correct the most severe folds and facial wrinkles. It also contains lidocaine, which can relieve discomfort and pain during the procedure.

Juvederm aims to create volume, minimize wrinkles and give skin a smooth appearance. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar found in the the inner layer of the dermis where connective tissue and fat cells reside. Hyaluronic acid is found in the extra cellular matrix, which is a supportive network that provides structure and stability to the skin. Its chemical properties attract moisture to hydrate and maintain optimal skin health.

The body naturally metabolizes hyaluronic acid. As the body ages, it cannot replace the depleted levels fast enough, so the skin gets weaker, and causes wrinkles around the mouth and eyes.

Juvederm helps replace the depleted levels of hyaluronic acid in order to restore the skin’s support and hydration. Skin looks healthier and rejuvenated the instant this sugar is replenished.

Only administer this filler if you are a trained professional.

Cleanse the patient’s skin before the procedure, and mark the targeted areas. Inject Juvederm Ultra 4 slowly into the targeted areas with a disposable 27G 1/2″ needle. The amount needed depends on the area being treated and the depth of the depression. The consistency of this filler allows you to administer it smoothly and easily. You will not need to administer a separate anesthetic, as there is lidocaine included in the formula. Massage the area after injection to ensure an even distribution, and to help mold the intended shape.

The longevity of the product depend mainly of the patient’s age, lifestyle, and certain environmental factors.

Regular treatments will enhance the results.
