Juvederm Ultra vs Ultra Plus
The difference in Juvederm Ultra and Ultra plus is mostly consistency. Juvederm ultra is thin and less viscous, thus appropriate for injection intradermally to address fine wrinkles and scars. In my practice I rarely use Ultra and much prefer Ultra plus for many reasons. For volume fill of the lips and reshaping the face, which is most of what I do with Juvederm, Ultra plus provides more dramatic results and lasts much longer. These products get very expensive and I...

Ulta vs Ultra Plus
Although Juvederm is an excellent product, it suffers from an unfortunate name issue of Ultra and Ultra Plus. Ultra is used for superficial locations where maximum silkiness is needed. Ultra Plus is a thicker product with longer duration at the expense of less silkiness. Their use should be based on the recommendation of an experienced injector.

Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultraplus
Ultra Beauty,
Thanks for the question.

Juvederm Ultra vs. Ultra Plus
Thank you for the great question. Without getting too technical, the difference has to do with thickness and flow. Juvederm Ultra is slightly thinner and flows more easily. This makes it more appropriate for some areas of the face. The disadvantage is that it may not last quite as long, though this difference is not dramatic in my experience.

Juvederm Ultra vs. Ultra Plus
This is a great question. With all the various types of fillers, that are available today, it's easy to get confused. We use Juvederm, Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus for various treatments and I like to think about the various forms of this filler in terms of how thick each one is.
The thicker, the filler, the deeper within the tissues the filler needs to be injected and the more appropriate the filler is for facial shaping and contouring....

Different cross-linked Juvederm
The main difference from Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus is that JUP is more cross-linked than JU. This fact gives more consistency to JUP so it can be used in deeper wrinkles (folds) or in areas where we need to add volume (lips, cheeks, chin). Another difference is that the most crooss-linked one has a longer duration (JUP).
Yoour doctor will recomend the more appropiate filler depending of the zone to be treated.

Juvederm Ultra
Juvederm Ultra is very fine hyaluronic acid - so it's great for lips, but can be used as a filler for other areas of the face as well, especially for superficial lines. Ultra plus is thicker so it is used to fill areas where you need a lot more volume.
