What is Juvederm Ultra Plus?
Juvederm Ultra Plus is one of many products in the Juvederm family of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers and has been used effectively for several decades.
Juvederm Ultra Plus consists of a very robust but flexible gel that can help provide a more dramatic improvement for deeper, more severe wrinkles and lines as well as giving volume to the lips or other facial structures with volume depletion.
Juvederm Ultra Plus differs from other Juvederm products in its cross-linking of hyaluronic acid (HA) formulation to create a more flexible, longer-lasting product where it’s needed most, such as the dynamic folds of the smile lines and lower face wrinkles. Its formula utilizes a very high percentage of cross-linking (about 11%). This means its HA molecules are more tightly-bound, making it great for deeper, more severe facial wrinkles as well as providing volume and structure to the lips.
Deep lines tend to form in certain areas of the face, such as our smile and marionette lines, as our skin loses its flexibility and hydration with age. There are also genetic reasons for lack of volume in the skin that can be corrected with dermal fillers, such as lips, cheeks, and chin. Juvederm Ultra Plus is typically injected deeper into the skin to reduce and soften moderate to severe folds and wrinkles. Deeper injection sites along with a more robust formula make Juvederm Ultra Plus a great agent of change for these deep lines.
It is effectively used on perioral areas (around the mouth and to provide more volume to the lips) as well as other facial areas with deep folds or lack of volume.
In a review of dermal filler publications (found here), 81% of Juvederm Ultra Plus patients reported clinically significant improvements beyond 9 months after initial injections.
Taking into account the variability in each patient’s body, it’s safe to say Juvederm Ultra Plus tends to last anywhere from 6-12 months on average.
According to Juvederm, the most commonly observed side effects are redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, discoloration, and itching. These side effects tend to be mild, and they should dissipate within several days depending on the treatment site.
Dr. Brandish uses a smooth tipped cannula to inject dermal fillers which significantly reduces bruising and downtime, making the procedure much safer to administer.
More information about side effects can be found on Juvederm’s website.
Juvederm Ultra Plus is a strong but malleable, highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid-based filler, making it an effective solution for restoring natural volume and softening severe wrinkles. It’s robust enough to effectively tackle deep lines with great longevity, and yet flexible enough to allow for a natural look and feel at injection sites.

I originally started seeing a different beauty doctor in San Diego, but I was not satisfied with my results. I also didn't like the fact that he didn't give much input andI stop going there. Then I found Dr. Brandish's office and I gave it a try. My first visit with Dr. Brandish was very pleasant, she asked what I was looking for and she gave me her opinion on that would work best. I was very happy with my results with dysport fillers. I have been coming to Dr. Brandish Clinic for five years. I highly recommend Dr. Brandish Clinic.
I have been going to Brandish clinic for a few years. She always does an excellent job and knows just how to make me feel and look better. She never over does my treatments and makes me look natural. She always works with me to make me my best self. I would and do highly recommend Brandish Clinic for Botox for any facial rejuvenation you may interested in. Check out her specials on her website.
What a wonderful and relaxing experience for Botox. Men who want to stay more youthful looking need to see Dr. Brandish, she is a true artist. Very relaxing office and she is an expert at discussing treatment options. This is my third visit and I plan on seeing her for my regular follow up visits as well.
I have been going to Dr. Brandish for over a year and completely trust her. She listens to what I want and I always love the results. Her prices are competitive. I wouldn't risk going to anyone else. I was initially referred by a friend and learned later of so many more of my friends that go to her. They all look amazing ! You won't be disappointed. I recommend Dr. Brandish with confidence !
I love love love this clinic. Dr. Brandish is a perfectionist and I always leave feeling youthful and very happy with my results. I've had Botox and fillers with other doctors and she has had to fix the mistakes. I only go to her as of 2017. Also, when I walk in, I'm always greeted with a smile and professional attitude from her receptionist Brenda.
