Juvederm Ultra Plus XC in Scottsdale

All people lose facial fat, muscle, and boney structure as part of the aging process. This gradual deflation of the face leads to a fatigued and gaunt appearance.  Juvederm XC, available in the Scottsdale-Phoenix area at the practice of Dr. Todd Hobgood, is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler that can last up to one year and restore lost volume to the face.

What is Juvederm Ultra Plus XC?

Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is one of the newest Juvederm wrinkle fillers available, and it is made to minimize discomfort during Juvederm injections. All Juvederm XC products include lidocaine, a numbing agent that makes treatments more comfortable.

Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is a hyaluronic acid filler that is non-allergenic and is made from a naturally-occurring compound you already have in your body. Hyaluronic acid is slowly absorbed, which means Juvederm injections are not permanent but they do last up to one year. Hyaluronic acid naturally depletes as we get older, and Juvederm supplements your body’s supply to restore volume.

Juvederm Ultra Plus XC Treatment Process

Dr. Todd Hobgood will begin with a consultation to make sure Juvederm Ultra Plus is the right option for you to achieve your desired results, or if another filler or even surgical intervention would be more appropriate. The Juvederm treatment process is performed in the office. The injection site is prepared and Juvederm is injected in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. Most patients do not find the injections uncomfortable, particularly with the lidocaine included in the Juvederm Ultra Plus XC. The procedure takes less than thirty minutes, and the results are immediate.
