Juvederm Ultra vs. Ultra Plus

Thank you for your question on the differences between Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Pus.
Both products are smooth gels that consist of hyaluronic acid  (a type of sugar molecule that is found naturally in our body's connective tissue) and lidocaine (an anesthetic that adds to the comfort of the injection).  These products, when injected, help to add volume and hydration to the areas treated.

The differences between Ultra and Ultra Plus are mainly in the degree of cross-linking of the molecules (this contributes to the stability of the hyaluronic acid).  Juvederm Ultra Plus has more cross-lining than Ultra - resulting in a slightly larger, thicker molecule that provides more volume and tends to hold its shape better,

Both products are  FDA approved for facial lines and wrinkles such as nasolabial folds and, Juvederm Ultra also has an approval for use in lips and peri-oral area.

It's important to seek out a board certified plastic surgeon's office to ensure that your injections are performed by a knowledgable, skilled injector who can give you the best, most natural results possible.

The Juvederm family consists of Ultra, Ultra Plus, and Voluma.  They are all smooth hyaluronic acid fillers, but vary in their density and lifting capabilities. Juvederm Ultra can be used on very superficial lines, scars, and works wonderfully in the lips. It gives a natural result without volumizing the area.  Juvederm Ultra Plus is somewhat denser, and is used in creases, such as in the chin, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds.  Both Ultra and Ultra Plus last up to 1 year. Voluma has the highest lifting capability, is used in the midface to correct volume loss, and lasts up to 2 years

Hope you found this answer helpful.  All the best!
