JUVÉDERM® XC is a new, FDA-approved formula of the effective JUVÉDERM® dermal filler that contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize the mild discomfort previously associated with this treatment. Injected directly into targeted areas of the skin, JUVÉDERM® reduces the appearance of wrinkles and folds while also smoothing skin for an overall enhanced appearance. The new JUVÉDERM® XC eliminates the need for additional anesthetic, as well as the wait time of up to 30 minutes for the numbness to take effect. The lidocaine contained within this injection takes only seconds to spread across the treatment area. Results are reported to last up to a year, making JUVÉDERM® one of the most commonly requested treatments.
