FDA Approves JUVÉDERM® XC, The Latest Advancement In Hyaluronic Acid
Dermal Fillers From Allergan, Inc., For A More Comfortable Injection Experience
Posted: 6/9/2010
(NAPSA) - There’s encouraging
news for anyone looking to
instantly smooth the wrinkles
around the nose and mouth but is
concerned about pain. Now available
nationwide, JUVÉDERM® XC
from Allergan, Inc. contains li -
docaine for enhanced comfort during
treatment of the “parentheses”
lines between the nose and mouth.
“The ‘no pain, no gain’ mentality
has definitely played a role in
the way women over the years
have thought about aesthetic
treatments. However, that is
changing with recent advancements
in aesthetic medicine,” said
Amy Wechsler, M.D., board-certified
dermatologist and psychiatrist.
“In the clinical trial leading
up to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) approval of
JUVÉDERM® XC, 93 percent of
patients reported less pain when
treated with JUVÉDERM® XC compared
to the non-lidocaine JUVÉ-
DERM® formulation1. Patients can
now receive the same smooth
results as demonstrated with
JUVÉDERM® but enjoy a more comfortable
injection experience.”
JUVÉDERM® XC with 0.3 percent
lidocaine numbs the treatment
area within seconds, po -
tentially reducing the need for
an additional anesthetic. Before
the introduction of JUVÉDERM®
XC, it often took up to 30 minutes
for an anesthetic block to
take effect. The new formulation
provides the same smooth, longlasting
results as demonstrated
with existing formulations of
JUVÉDERM® and now of fers a
more comfortable treatment
experience and potentially less
time spent in the physician’s
office compared to the non-lidocaine
JUVÉDERM® formulation.
“JUVÉDERM® is the first and
only hyaluronic acid dermal filler
approved by the FDA to last up to
one year from initial treatment2,”
said Dr. Wechsler. “My patients
are satisfied with treatment
results, and JUVÉDERM® has
steadily gained popularity since
its introduction.”
