Juvederm Ultra Plus XC
in Torrance
A structured hyaluronic acid filler for moderate to deep smile lines, marionette lines, and lower-face folds.
Ultra Plus XC at a Glance
Juvederm Ultra Plus XC in Torrance at Skin Works Medical Spa is a robust hyaluronic acid filler built for moderate to deep folds where a lighter gel wouldn’t hold enough structure. As volume decreases through the mid and lower face, smile lines deepen and the transition from cheek to lip can look sharper and more tired. Ultra Plus XC’s cross-linked formula provides firmer support in these areas while still allowing natural movement and expression. The gel also contains lidocaine for added comfort during treatment.
What Is Juvederm Ultra Plus XC?
Ultra Plus XC is a hyaluronic acid based gel, more heavily cross-linked than lighter Juvederm formulas, which lets it hold shape and support deeper lines rather than simply hydrating the skin’s surface. When placed correctly, it softens etched folds, restores gentle volume, and improves the transition between facial areas.
It’s a step up from Juvederm Ultra XC, its lighter sibling product, and often discussed alongside Restylane Defyne for patients who need more structural correction than a standard lip-and-line filler provides.
Cross-Linked Structure
More heavily cross-linked hyaluronic acid than lighter formulas, allowing the gel to hold shape and provide real structural support under deeper folds.
Built-In Lidocaine
Contains lidocaine to improve comfort during injection, on top of any topical numbing your provider applies.
Reversible When Needed
As a hyaluronic acid filler, Ultra Plus XC can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if medically necessary.
What Ultra Plus XC Treats
Ultra Plus XC is used where folds have become moderate to severe, not for fine surface lines. Your provider confirms fit for your specific anatomy at consultation.
| Concern | What Patients Typically See |
|---|---|
| Nasolabial folds (smile lines) | Softer, shallower creases from nose to mouth |
| Marionette lines | Reduced downturned, shadowed look around the chin |
| Corners of the mouth | Restored support where volume loss creates a tired look |
| Perioral volume loss | Smoother transitions that hold up better through the day |
Ultra Plus XC vs. Other Structural Fillers
Ultra Plus XC sits in the “moderate to deep fold” tier alongside a couple of other options. Here’s how they differ.
| Ultra Plus XC | Juvederm Ultra XC | Restylane Defyne | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Deep folds, marionette lines | Lips, mild-to-moderate folds | Deep folds with natural movement |
| Typical duration | 9 to 12 months | 6 to 12 months | 7 to 9 months |
| Structural strength | Firm, more cross-linked | Moderate, flexible | Firm, flexible with expression |
| Reversible | Yes | Yes | Yes |
All three are hyaluronic acid and reversible. The right choice depends on fold depth, how much movement matters in the treated area, and how long you want results to last.
Is Ultra Plus XC the Right Choice?
Ultra Plus XC works best for patients with more pronounced folds who need firmer support than a lighter gel can provide, without wanting surgery.
- Deeper smile lines or folds that remain visible even when your face is at rest
- Want folds to look softer and less etched without changing your overall look
- Prefer a structured filler that shows noticeable improvement in one visit
- In good general health and not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
When another filler may fit better
Fine, superficial lines: a lighter filler like Belotero is a better match than Ultra Plus XC’s firmer gel.
Cheek or jawline structural volume: Voluma or Radiesse provide more lift in those specific zones.
Want the longest possible duration: Bellafill lasts significantly longer, though it’s not reversible and requires a skin test.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Ultra Plus XC make my face look heavy?
Not when placed correctly in appropriate amounts. It’s chosen when deeper folds need more support, and the goal is to soften lines while keeping your face light and expressive.
How much swelling should I expect?
Mild to moderate swelling is possible in the first few days, especially in areas that move frequently. It usually improves on its own.
How soon will I see improvement?
Most patients see improvement immediately after treatment, with the fold looking shallower right away. Results become more natural over 1 to 2 weeks as swelling settles.
Will it affect how I smile or talk?
Properly placed filler shouldn’t interfere with normal movement, though you may feel temporary fullness or awareness in the treated area for the first few days.
Can Ultra Plus XC be dissolved if needed?
Yes. As a hyaluronic acid filler, it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if medically necessary or if adjustment is desired.
Is it painful?
Most patients describe it as tolerable. The product contains lidocaine, and additional topical numbing is available. You may feel brief pressure or stinging that improves as the area numbs.
How often will I need touch-ups?
Many patients have maintenance treatments about once a year, depending on how results age and how strong you want the correction to remain.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients combine filler with other procedures for a more complete result. Your injector can sequence a plan around your priorities and schedule.
