What Is JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC?
JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler manufactured by Allergan Aesthetics. It uses proprietary HYLACROSS technology to create a thicker, more robust gel with greater viscosity and lifting power than standard JUVÉDERM Ultra XC. Pre-mixed with lidocaine for patient comfort, Ultra Plus XC is specifically formulated for deeper wrinkles, pronounced folds, and areas that require more significant volume restoration.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every Ultra Plus XC treatment is performed with meticulous precision using AccuVein vein visualization technology. The thicker HYLACROSS gel is strategically injected into the deep dermis or subcutaneous tissue, where it immediately adds volume and smooths deep creases. Results are visible instantly and continue to improve as the filler integrates with surrounding tissue.
How JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC Treatment Works
The Ultra Plus XC treatment follows a precise, expert-guided protocol:
- Dr. Avaliani assesses your facial anatomy, skin quality, and areas of concern to design a customized injection plan
- Ultra Plus XC is injected at precise depths using a fine needle or cannula, with AccuVein technology to avoid blood vessels
- The thick HYLACROSS gel immediately adds volume, filling deep folds and restoring lost facial contour
- The hyaluronic acid integrates with your tissue, attracting moisture and maintaining natural-looking fullness
- Results are visible immediately and last 9-12 months, with many patients enjoying results even longer
What JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC Treats
Nasolabial Folds
Deep smile lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Ultra Plus XC’s thicker formulation provides robust correction of even the most pronounced nasolabial folds, restoring a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Marionette Lines
Lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin, creating a downturned or sad expression. Ultra Plus XC fills these deeper creases effectively, lifting the lower face and restoring a more pleasant, relaxed appearance.
Cheek Volume Loss
Hollow or sunken cheeks caused by aging, weight loss, or genetics. Ultra Plus XC replenishes deep volume in the mid-face, restoring youthful fullness and improving overall facial balance and contour.
Lip Augmentation
For patients seeking fuller, more dramatic lip enhancement with greater volume. Ultra Plus XC’s thicker consistency provides more substantial lip augmentation than standard Ultra XC, ideal for patients who want noticeable, plump lips with lasting results.
Facial Contouring
Non-surgical nose contouring, chin enhancement, and temple augmentation. Ultra Plus XC’s robust lifting capacity makes it excellent for sculpting facial features and restoring structural volume without surgery.
Hand Rejuvenation
Aging hands with visible tendons, veins, and volume loss. Ultra Plus XC restores lost volume to the backs of the hands, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance and reducing the skeletal look that comes with age.

Does It Hurt?
Your comfort options (we tailor this to you)
JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC is pre-mixed with lidocaine, a built-in numbing agent that significantly reduces discomfort during injection. Dr. Avaliani may also apply topical numbing cream before treatment. AccuVein vein visualization technology is used for precise needle placement, minimizing the risk of bruising, part of our 99% no-bruising guarantee.
Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or a slight pinch during injection. The entire procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on the areas treated. Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) is available for patients who prefer additional relaxation. Any swelling or tenderness is temporary, typically resolving within 3-5 days. You can return to normal activities immediately.

JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC frequently asked questions
What is JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC?
JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler manufactured by Allergan Aesthetics. It uses HYLACROSS cross-linking technology to create a thicker, more viscous gel than standard Ultra XC. This increased viscosity gives it greater lifting power, making it ideal for deeper wrinkles, pronounced nasolabial folds, and areas needing more significant volume restoration. It is pre-mixed with lidocaine for patient comfort.
How is Ultra Plus XC different from standard Ultra XC?
Ultra Plus XC has greater viscosity and lifting power than standard Ultra XC. While both use HYLACROSS technology and contain lidocaine, Ultra Plus XC has a thicker, more robust formulation designed for deeper wrinkles and folds that require more substantial correction. Standard Ultra XC is better suited for moderate wrinkles, lip lines, and more delicate areas. Dr. Avaliani often uses both products together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
How long do Ultra Plus XC results last?
JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC results typically last 9 to 12 months, which is generally longer than standard Ultra XC due to its increased thickness. The longevity depends on the treatment area, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Touch-up treatments can help maintain your results over time.
Does Ultra Plus XC treatment hurt?
Ultra Plus XC is pre-mixed with lidocaine, a built-in numbing agent that significantly reduces discomfort during injection. Dr. Avaliani also applies topical numbing cream before treatment and uses AccuVein vein visualization technology for precise needle placement. Most patients describe mild pressure during the 15 to 30 minute procedure. Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) is available for additional comfort.
How many syringes of Ultra Plus XC will I need?
The number of syringes depends on the areas being treated and the depth of correction needed. Nasolabial folds typically require 1 to 2 syringes, while more extensive volume restoration or multiple areas may need 2 to 4 syringes. Dr. Avaliani will recommend the precise amount during your consultation based on your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
What is HYLACROSS technology?
HYLACROSS is Allergan’s proprietary cross-linking technology used in JUVÉDERM Ultra and Ultra Plus XC. It creates a smooth, highly cross-linked gel that maintains its structure within the tissue. In Ultra Plus XC, HYLACROSS produces a thicker formulation with greater viscosity and lifting capacity compared to standard Ultra XC, while still allowing for smooth, natural-looking results.
Is Ultra Plus XC reversible?
Yes. Like all hyaluronic acid fillers, JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed. This is one of the key safety advantages of HA fillers over permanent alternatives. However, Dr. Avaliani’s precise injection technique and deep understanding of facial anatomy ensure natural, balanced results that patients love.
Can Ultra Plus XC be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Ultra Plus XC is frequently combined with other JUVÉDERM products for comprehensive facial balancing. For example, pairing Ultra Plus XC (deep folds and volume) with Ultra XC (finer lines and lips) or Voluma (cheek lift) creates beautifully harmonious results. It can also be combined with neurotoxins like Botox or skin tightening treatments for a complete rejuvenation.
How does Ultra Plus XC differ from Voluma?
While both are JUVÉDERM products, they use different technologies and are designed for different purposes. Ultra Plus XC uses HYLACROSS technology and is formulated for deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and volume restoration in various facial areas. Voluma uses Vycross technology and is specifically designed for cheek augmentation and mid-face lift, with a firmer consistency and longer duration (up to 2 years).
Who should not get Ultra Plus XC?
Ultra Plus XC should not be used in patients with severe allergies to gram-positive bacterial proteins or lidocaine. It is not recommended for patients who are pregnant or nursing. Patients with active skin infections at the injection site should wait until the infection resolves. You should also discontinue blood thinners and supplements like aspirin, fish oil, and vitamin E for 5 to 7 days before treatment to minimize bruising risk. Dr. Avaliani will review your complete medical history during consultation.
