Juvederm Ultra 3 with Lidocaine
Hybrid cross-linked hyaluronic acid dermal filler with 24mg/ml HA concentration and 0.3% lidocaine for mid-to-deep dermal implantation
VYCROSS™ Technology & Biocompatible Formulation
Juvederm Ultra 3 utilizes proprietary VYCROSS™ technology combining 50% high-molecular-weight (1,000 kDa) and 50% low-molecular-weight (20 kDa) hyaluronic acid chains. This creates a biphasic monophasic gel with optimal elasticity (G’ = 240 Pa) and viscosity (η* = 50 Pa·s) for natural tissue integration. Clinical studies demonstrate 92% patient satisfaction at 6 months post-treatment.
