Description
Juvederm® Ultra 3 is a dermal filler used for non-surgical facial rejuvenation. It is made up of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and add volume to the skin. The Juvederm® Ultra 3 formula contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which helps to make the injection process more comfortable.
Juvederm® Ultra 3 is specifically designed for use in the mid-to-deep dermis to treat moderate to severe wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines. It can also be used to add volume to the cheeks and chin, and to enhance lip volume and definition.
The effects of Juvederm® Ultra 3 can last up to 12 months, depending on factors such as the individual’s age, skin type, and lifestyle. As with any cosmetic treatment, it is important to have a consultation with a qualified practitioner to determine if Juvederm® Ultra 3 is the right treatment for you and to discuss any potential risks or side effects.
Benefits of Juvederm Ultra 3
- Immediate Results: The results of Juvederm Ultra 3 are immediately noticeable after the treatment. This provides an instant boost of confidence to many patients.
- Natural Appearance: The smooth consistency of the gel provides a natural look and feel. The treated areas don’t appear stiff or unnatural.
- Non-Surgical: Unlike surgical procedures, getting Juvederm injections is relatively quick and doesn’t require extensive downtime.
- Versatility: It’s effective in treating various areas, especially the nasolabial folds (the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
- Hyaluronic Acid: Juvederm Ultra 3 is primarily made of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance naturally found in the body. This ensures that the body accepts the filler with minimal risk of allergic reactions.
- Long-Lasting: The effects of Juvederm Ultra 3 can last anywhere from 6 months to a year, or even longer in some cases. However, the exact duration can vary depending on factors like the treated area, individual metabolism, and the skill of the administering physician.
- Biodegradable: Over time, the body naturally absorbs the hyaluronic acid in Juvederm, meaning that the results aren’t permanent. This is ideal for individuals who aren’t sure about committing to permanent changes.
- Reversible: In the rare case that a patient isn’t satisfied with the results, the effects of Juvederm can be reversed with another enzyme injection called hyaluronidase.
- Improves Skin Hydration: Since hyaluronic acid is known to hold water, Juvederm Ultra 3 can help increase skin hydration, giving it a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
- Safe: When administered by a trained and certified professional, Juvederm Ultra 3 is considered safe. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, but severe side effects are rare.

Ingredients
Juvederm® Ultra 3 is a dermal filler that contains hyaluronic acid (HA) as its main active ingredient. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and add volume to the skin. The HA in Juvederm® Ultra 3 is synthesized using a proprietary process known as Hylacross™ technology, which produces a smooth, homogeneous gel with a high level of purity.
In addition to hyaluronic acid, Juvederm® Ultra 3 also contains a small amount of the local anesthetic lidocaine. The lidocaine helps to minimize discomfort during the injection process and improve patient comfort.
The composition of Juvederm® Ultra 3 is designed to be biocompatible with the body, meaning that it is well-tolerated and does not cause adverse reactions in most patients. However, as with any medical procedure, there is a risk of side effects or complications, and it is important to have a consultation with a qualified practitioner to determine if Juvederm® Ultra 3 is the right treatment for you.
