JUVÉDERM® XC injectable gel is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved dermal filler that, according to its manufacturer, Allergan, Inc., is designed to “temporarily treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds” in people older than 21. Unlike the original JUVÉDERM injectable gel, JUVÉDERM XC is infused with lidocaine to make its injection more comfortable.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Using dermal fillers, you can smooth wrinkles, lift facial contours, and restore lost volume. Most fillers, including Juvéderm® and Restylane®, are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring molecule in the skin that helps retain hydration, structure, and softness. As we age, HA levels naturally decrease, resulting in wrinkles, folds, and skin laxity. Dermal fillers help replenish that lost volume, delivering a smoother and more youthful appearance.
This minimally invasive procedure provides no downtime, making dermal fillers an appealing option for those who wish to address volume loss and skin laxity without invasive surgeries, such as facelifts and surgical lifts.
