Ingredient Information

Allergan Inc’s patented Hylacross Technology is used to cross-link chains of hyaluronic acid together to form a gel with a smooth consistency and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that attracts moisture to hydrate the cells and dermis. By adding a product with this biocompatible ingredient into the mid-dermis, the skin is hydrated and becomes suppler.
Thin lips can be effectively augmented via the injecting of this filler into the mucosa. Juvederm® Ultra 2 increases the volume of lips and improves its radiance.
This gel is premixed with lidocaine, an anesthetic that numbs the skin so that the injection procedure necessary to administer Juvederm® Ultra 2 is less painful and more comfortable for the patient.
