A Trusted Injectable for Grand Rapids, MI. Time may give you wisdom, but it also tends to give you lines on your face.

As components vital to healthy skin break down over time, wrinkles and folds form, showing to all the world that you have the benefit of years of experience — whether you want to broadcast that fact or not.

For women and men who prefer to reveal their age on their own terms, there is JUVÉDERM XC. Grand Rapids plastic surgeon, Dr. Bengtson and his injection specialists use this member of the family of smooth gel dermal fillers to quickly smooth away wrinkles around your mouth, forehead, eyes, and nose.

What Is JUVÉDERM XC?

JUVÉDERM XC is a hyaluronic-based injectable gel dermal filler offered for our Birmingham, Grand Rapids, and Detroit patients. Hyaluronic acid is found in every cell of our body. As a natural filler, this injectable is used to treat mild to moderate facial creases by enhancing soft tissue volume to smooth a variety of wrinkles:

  • Nasolabial Folds: creases that resemble parenthesis on either side of the mouth
  • Smile Lines: lines that run vertically from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth
  • Marionette Lines: vertical facial wrinkles and folds that form below the corners of the mouth
  • Vertical Lines: facial wrinkles above and around the lips

Comprised of non-animal sources, the gel mimics the natural moisture-binding qualities of the skin and is safely and slowly re-absorbed by your body over time.

Bengtson Center JUVÉDERM XC Basics

  • JUVÉDERM XC is made by Allergan, the manufacturer also responsible for BOTOX Cosmetic, Latisse, and other trusted cosmetic treatments.
  • This injectable is ideal for treating nasolabial folds, smile lines, marionette lines, and vertical lines, with results that last up to a year.
  • The JUVÉDERM family also includes VOLUMA (used to add volume to the cheeks).
  • The Bengtson Center's Aesthetic Experts are specially trained in techniques designed to maximize aesthetic results while protecting patient health.
  • Visible, natural-looking results are possible after just one treatment, and no significant down time is needed after a session.
  • The "XC" in the name indicates the presence of lidocaine, which serves to minimize sensation at the injection site, improving comfort.

Beyond JUVÉDERM XC

JUVÉDERM XC and its fellow fillers from Allergan are made to treat static wrinkles, which form due to loss of volume and more in the skin. For dynamic wrinkles, created by years of muscles repeatedly contracting in the same place, patients can choose BOTOX Cosmetic, which relaxes the muscles for smoother skin.

Various injectables can be combined to give the face a refreshed look not possible with a single product or treatment. Known as a "liquid facelift," this technique is customized to the patient seeking rejuvenating results.

Ideal Candidates

Who Chooses JUVÉDERM XC in Grand Rapids?

Women and men of various ages choose facial rejuvenation to delay or improve visible signs of aging. The following factors generally define good candidates for JUVÉDERM XC:

  • You understand what this dermal filler can and cannot accomplish.

  • You are physically healthy, emotionally secure, and stable.
