JUVÉDERM® XC
What is JUVÉDERM® XC? JUVÉDERM® XC is the smooth gel filler that your doctor uses to instantly smooth away wrinkles around
your mouth and nose. With just one treatment, you’ll get smooth and natural-looking results that last up to a year. JUVÉDERM® XC
is manufactured using HYLACROSS™ technology, creating a smooth-consistency gel. It is infused with lidocaine- local anaesthetic
to improve comfort during treatment. With JUVÉDERM® XC you get the smooth results you expect, with the improved comfort you
want. Everyone will notice, but no one will know.
Where Does It Work? Everyone’s skin ages differently and JUVÉDERM® XC may be used to rejuvenate multiple problem areas.
From smile lines to vertical lip lines, you can smooth away unwanted wrinkles and restore natural contours.
How does JUVÉDERM® XC Work? Young, healthy-looking skin contains an abundance of a naturally hydrating substance called
hyaluronic acid (HA). But as you age, sunlight and other factors can reduce the amount of HA in your skin. The lack of HA causes
your skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds - like those parentheses lines around your nose
and mouth. Using a dermal filler like JUVÉDERM® XC is a safe and effective way to replace the HA your skin has lost, bringing
back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds. Read on for more details about how JUVÉDERM® XC makes those
parentheses disappear.

1 Understanding Where Wrinkles Form Your skin consists of two layers known as the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis,
or outer layer of the skin, acts as the skin’s primary defence against the environment. The dermis, or innermost layer of the skin, is
composed primarily of connective tissue and provides the skin with a support network. Most facial wrinkles and deeper nasolabial
folds occur within the dermal layer of the skin.

2 Our Skin’s Natural Moisturizer Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring molecule. Much like a sponge, its primary function
is to bind and absorb water, which creates volume in the face. In this way, Hyaluronic acid can be thought of as the body’s internal
moisturizer. But, as we age, HA diminishes, which contributes to the presence of lines and folds. JUVÉDERM® XC injectable gel
works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to diminish wrinkles and nasolabial folds.

3 Experiencing Rejuvenation JUVÉDERM® XC dermal filler is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment for nasolabial
folds and other facial wrinkles. Using a fine needle, your healthcare professional eases JUVÉDERM ® XC under the skin to fill the
soft tissue of the dermis. This adds volume and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and nasolabial folds instantly. While there
are a variety of hyaluronic acid fillers, JUVÉDERM® XC is uniquely formulated. A next generation HA filler, JUVÉDERM® XC uses a
manufacturing process called HYLACROSS™ technology. HYLACROSS™ gives JUVÉDERM® XC its special smooth-gel structure
that holds up over time. That’s why JUVÉDERM® XC is the first smooth-consistency HA gel and the only HA filler that’s FDA
approved* to last up to one year with only one treatment.

What to Expect Because JUVÉDERM® XC is a simple, nonsurgical wrinkle treatment*, there is minimal recovery or downtime (and
the results are instant!). So you can make an appointment to stop by your healthcare professional's office for treatment on the way
home from work or the gym, or even while the kids are at soccer practice—and get right back to your daily routine. Here's what to
expect when you visit your healthcare professional's office for treatment.

Understanding how lips age.

The skin on your lips is constantly moisturised from within hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar. Hyaluronic
acid absorbs moisture and keeps your skin well hydrated for a youthful look.
When hyaluronic acid diminishes, your skin loses its youthful look. Lines begin to appear around the mouth, and
the lips start to thin.

Skin loses hyaluronic acid over time.

Thinning
Lips that thin as they age

Vertical lines
Tiny lines at the lip outline

"Marionette" lines
Lines from corners of mouth to chin that
give a "puppet" mouth look

Drooping
A sad droop at the corners of the mouth
Lip Shape Enhancement
All lip shapes are attractive, but some need subtle, natural-looking volume enhancement, while asymmetric lips
may need a gentle modification to adjust proportions.
