Product Information

What is JUVEDERM® ULTRA 2?

JUVEDERM® ULTRA 2 is a sterile, pyrogen-free, physiological solution of cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) gel which is not of animal origin. Manufactured by Allergan (an AbbVie company), it employs the Hylacross® technology to create a smooth, cohesive gel suitable for treating moderate cutaneous depressions and defining the lips.

This formulation contains 24mg/mL of hyaluronic acid cross-linked with BDDE and includes 0.3% lidocaine hydrochloride to enhance patient comfort during the injection procedure. It is indicated for injection into the mid-dermis for correction of moderate facial wrinkles and folds, and for injection into the lip mucous membrane for lip definition.

Storage: JUVEDERM® ULTRA 2 should be stored between 2°C and 25°C (36°F and 77°F). Do not freeze. Protect from light.

Authenticity: Health Supplies Plus guarantees that all JUVEDERM® products are authentic, sourced through appropriate channels, and handled according to manufacturer specifications.

Note: For professional use only.

How does JUVEDERM® ULTRA 2 work?

JUVEDERM® ULTRA 2 utilizes Allergan’s Hylacross® technology to produce a smooth, consistent HA gel. When injected into the mid-dermis, it adds volume to smooth moderate facial lines and wrinkles, such as perioral lines or less severe nasolabial folds. Its properties also make it suitable for defining the vermillion border and adding subtle volume or shape to the lips.

The cross-linked HA provides structure and correction, while its hydrophilic nature helps maintain skin hydration in the treated area. The smooth consistency allows for controlled injection and integration into the tissue.

Treatment results are visible immediately. The duration of effect for JUVEDERM® ULTRA 2 typically lasts around 6 to 12 months, although individual results can vary based on patient factors, injection location, technique, and volume. The integrated lidocaine significantly improves patient comfort during the procedure.

Indications for Use

JUVEDERM® ULTRA 2 is indicated for adults (typically 21 years and older, consult local regulations/IFU) for:

• Correction of moderate facial wrinkles and folds (e.g., moderate nasolabial folds, perioral lines, oral commissures).
• Enhancement of lip definition (vermillion border).
• Subtle lip volume augmentation.

It is generally considered less volumizing than Juvéderm Ultra 3 (Ultra Plus XC). Appropriate patient selection and consideration of contraindications listed in the Instructions for Use (IFU) are essential.

Primary Benefits

• Effectively corrects moderate facial wrinkles and lines.
• Suitable for enhancing lip definition and providing subtle volume.
• Utilizes Hylacross® technology for a smooth, cohesive gel.
• Offers immediate, visible results.
• Contains lidocaine for improved patient comfort during injection.

Side Effects and Safety Information

Practitioners must consult the complete Instructions for Use (IFU) provided with the product for comprehensive information on indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential adverse events. It is essential to discuss all potential risks and side effects with patients prior to treatment. Proper injection technique is critical for safety and optimal results, especially in the highly vascular lip area.

Common side effects are typically mild to moderate, temporary, and related to the injection site, including:

• Swelling
• Bruising
• Redness
• Tenderness or Pain
• Itching
• Firmness or Lumps/Bumps (usually temporary)

Severe Adverse Events:
As with any dermal filler injection, there are risks of more serious complications. Practitioners must possess thorough anatomical knowledge and be prepared to manage complications. Potential severe adverse events include:

• Vascular Occlusion (VO): Accidental injection into a blood vessel can obstruct blood flow, potentially leading to tissue necrosis (tissue death), scarring, or (in rare cases involving facial arteries) blindness or stroke. Prompt recognition and management according to established protocols are crucial.
• Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
• Inflammation, infection, or abscess formation
• Granuloma or persistent nodule formation
• Migration of filler
• Prolonged pain or numbness
• Herpetic eruptions (cold sores) in susceptible individuals
