• If you have moderate to deep lines and creases on
  your face, then talk to us about what Juvéderm
  soft tissue filler can do to smooth your skin and
  give you a more relaxed and youthful appearance.

Juvéderm Ultra and Ultra Plus

• Juvéderm Ultra and Ultra Plus injectable gel
  soft tissue fillers smooth wrinkles and skin
  folds by adding structure and volume beneath the
  surface of the skin.
• Juvéderm is made from cross-linked hyaluronic
  acid, a non-animal-based complex sugar that is a
  natural component of the skins connective
  tissue, along with collagen and elastin.
• Juvéderm Ultra is best for general facial
  wrinkles and folds. The thicker Juvéderm Ultra
  Plus is suggested for deeper folds and wrinkles.

5
Best Uses

• Nasolabial folds
• Oral commissures (lines at the corners of the
  mouth)
• Marionette folds from the corners of the mouth
  to the chin
• Vertical lip lines
• Lip augmentation

6
About the Procedure

• Juvéderm gel is injected into the mid to deep
  layers of the skin.
• Dr. Farella also may gently massage the injected
  area to help distribute the gel.
• The total procedure takes approximately 15
  minutes.

7
Results

• Skin looks smoother and lines and folds are
  diminished or eliminated immediately after
  treatment with soft tissue fillers.
• The benefits of Juvéderm can last for up to six
  months or longer.

8
Anaesthesia and Pain

• Although Juvéderm injections cause very little
  pain or discomfort, your doctor may use an
  injectable or topical anesthetic before
  treatment.
• You may experience mild and temporary redness,
  tenderness, and swelling at the injection site.

9
Recovery

• Juvéderm soft tissue filler requires little to
  no downtime, so you can return to work or your
  daily routine immediately after treatment.
• Redness and swelling at the injection site may
  take a couple of days to disappear.

10
Risks and Complications

• Because Juvéderm does not contain animal
  proteins, they rarely cause allergic reactions.
• Juvéderm should not be used by women who are
  pregnant, breastfeeding or under 18.
• To lessen bruising or bleeding at the injection
  site, discontinue aspirin, non-steroidal
  anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's Wort,
  high doses of vitamin E, or other medications
  that thin the blood for one week prior injection.

11
FDA Approval

• In 2006, the FDA approved Juvéderm for the
  treatment of facial wrinkles and folds.
