What Is JUVÉDERM Ultra XC?
JUVÉDERM Ultra XC is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler manufactured by Allergan Aesthetics. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that provides volume, hydration, and structure. As we age, our natural HA diminishes, leading to lines, wrinkles, and volume loss. Ultra XC replaces and replenishes this lost HA to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance.
Ultra XC uses Allergan’s HYLACROSS cross-linking technology, which creates a smooth, cohesive gel with a lower viscosity than Ultra Plus XC. This makes it ideal for fine lines, lip augmentation, and areas requiring a soft, natural finish. The formula comes pre-mixed with lidocaine for patient comfort, and results are visible immediately after treatment.
How JUVÉDERM Ultra XC Treatment Works
The Ultra XC treatment follows a precise, expert-guided protocol:
- Dr. Avaliani evaluates your facial anatomy and discusses your goals to create a customized injection plan
- Ultra XC is injected at precise points using a fine needle or cannula, with AccuVein vein visualization for accuracy
- The smooth HA gel fills lines, adds volume, and enhances contours with results visible immediately
- The filler integrates naturally with your tissue, providing soft, natural-looking volume enhancement
- Results typically last 6-9 months, with many patients maintaining beautiful results for the full duration
What JUVÉDERM Ultra XC Treats
Lip Augmentation
Thin or asymmetric lips that lack fullness and definition. Ultra XC’s smooth gel adds natural volume, enhances lip borders, and corrects asymmetry for plump, beautifully shaped lips with a soft, kissable feel.
Nasolabial Folds
Deep smile lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, creating an aged or tired appearance. Ultra XC fills these creases to restore a smoother, more youthful transition between the cheek and upper lip.
Nose Contouring
Bumps, asymmetries, or a drooping tip that affect the nasal profile. Non-surgical nose contouring with Ultra XC smooths imperfections and refines the nose shape without surgery or downtime.
Facial Volume Loss
Hollow cheeks, sunken temples, and flattened facial contours caused by aging or weight loss. Ultra XC restores soft, natural volume to areas of the face that have lost their youthful fullness.
Under-Eye Hollows
Dark circles, hollowing, and tired appearance under the eyes caused by volume loss and thinning skin. Ultra XC can gently restore volume to the under-eye area for a refreshed, well-rested look.
Hand Rejuvenation
Visible veins, tendons, and bony appearance on the backs of the hands caused by age-related volume loss. Ultra XC restores volume to the hands, smoothing the skin and creating a more youthful, plump appearance.

Does It Hurt?
Your comfort options (we tailor this to you)
JUVÉDERM Ultra XC comes pre-mixed with lidocaine, a built-in numbing agent that significantly reduces discomfort during injection. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild pinch or pressure. Dr. Avaliani also uses AccuVein vein visualization technology for precise needle placement, minimizing bruising risk and ensuring a comfortable experience.
The entire procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on the treatment areas. Any swelling or tenderness at the injection sites is temporary, usually resolving within 2-3 days. Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) is available for patients who prefer additional relaxation. You can return to normal activities immediately after your appointment, no downtime required.

JUVÉDERM Ultra XC frequently asked questions
What is JUVÉDERM Ultra XC?
JUVÉDERM Ultra XC is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler manufactured by Allergan Aesthetics. It replaces and replenishes naturally occurring HA in the skin to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. It uses HYLACROSS cross-linking technology to create a smooth, cohesive gel and comes pre-mixed with lidocaine for patient comfort.
How is Ultra XC different from Ultra Plus XC?
Ultra XC has a lower viscosity and smoother consistency than Ultra Plus XC, making it ideal for fine lines, lip augmentation, and areas requiring a soft, natural finish. Ultra Plus XC is thicker and better suited for deeper folds like nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Both use HYLACROSS technology but are formulated for different treatment needs.
How long do Ultra XC results last?
JUVÉDERM Ultra XC results typically last 6 to 9 months, with an average duration of about 6 months. Results may vary depending on the treatment area, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Lip treatments may metabolize slightly faster than other areas. Touch-up treatments can maintain your results over time.
Does the Ultra XC injection hurt?
Ultra XC comes pre-mixed with lidocaine, a built-in numbing agent that significantly reduces discomfort during injection. Most patients describe a mild pinch or pressure sensation. Dr. Avaliani may also apply topical numbing cream before treatment. The entire procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the areas treated.
How many syringes of Ultra XC will I need?
The number of syringes depends on your treatment areas and desired results. Lip augmentation typically requires 1 syringe, nasolabial folds may need 1 to 2 syringes, and full facial contouring may require 2 to 3 or more syringes. Dr. Avaliani will recommend the precise amount during your consultation.
What is HYLACROSS technology?
HYLACROSS is Allergan’s proprietary cross-linking technology used in JUVÉDERM Ultra XC and Ultra Plus XC. It creates a smooth, malleable gel by cross-linking hyaluronic acid molecules into a cohesive matrix. This technology provides natural-looking volume and a smooth, even result that integrates well with facial tissue.
Is JUVÉDERM Ultra XC reversible?
Yes. Like all hyaluronic acid fillers, JUVÉDERM Ultra XC can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed. This enzyme breaks down the HA gel and reverses the filler’s effects. This is a key safety advantage of HA fillers over permanent options. However, Dr. Avaliani’s precise injection technique ensures natural, balanced results.
Can Ultra XC be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Ultra XC is frequently combined with other JUVÉDERM products for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. For example, Ultra XC for lips plus Voluma for cheeks creates a beautifully balanced result. It can also be combined with neurotoxins like Botox for dynamic wrinkles, or with skin treatments for overall facial enhancement.
What is the downtime after Ultra XC treatment?
There is virtually no downtime. Most patients experience mild swelling and possible bruising at injection sites that resolves within 2 to 3 days. Dr. Avaliani uses AccuVein technology for a 99 percent bruise-free guarantee. You can return to normal activities immediately. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours and do not apply pressure to treated areas.
Who should not get JUVÉDERM Ultra XC?
Ultra 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. Those with bleeding disorders should discontinue blood thinners 5 to 7 days before treatment as directed by their physician.
