Description
Juvéderm Ultra 4 is the most robust and viscous formulation within the Juvéderm Ultra range. Developed by Allergan Aesthetics, this cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler is specifically engineered to treat deep skin depressions and restore significant facial volume. By utilizing Hylacross™ technology, Ultra 4 provides a smooth yet highly stable gel that offers a reliable and natural-looking correction for more advanced signs of aging.
Main Benefits of Juvéderm Ultra 4
-
Hylacross™ Technology: This technology creates a highly cross-linked, smooth-consistency gel that acts as a stable “cushion” in the deep dermal layers, offering resistance to immediate degradation.
-
Correction of Deep Depressions: Calibrated for challenging facial folds, its density effectively “pushes out” deep wrinkles that lighter fillers cannot adequately address.
-
Natural Structural Enhancement: Despite its density, it integrates well into deep tissue, allowing for structural enhancement (like chin or cheek contouring) that feels soft and moves naturally.
-
Maximum Patient Comfort: The formulation includes 0.3% Lidocaine, a local anesthetic that ensures the injection of this denser gel is as comfortable as possible for the patient.
Indications
Juvéderm Ultra 4 is the primary solution for deep-tissue correction:
-
Deep Nasolabial Folds: Filling heavy lines between the nose and mouth.
-
Marionette Lines: Correcting deep folds at the corners of the mouth and chin.
-
Cheek Augmentation: Restoring volume to the malar area.
-
Chin and Jawline Contouring: Defining the lower facial profile.
-
Facial Volumization: Correcting significant age-related volume loss in the mid-face.

Mechanism of Action
Ultra 4 operates through Deep Dermal Volumization:
-
Immediate Filling: The high-density HA gel occupies space in the deep dermis, immediately elevating depressions caused by wrinkles or volume loss.
-
Structural Support: The Hylacross matrix provides a stable support system for the overlying skin, preventing deep folds from “collapsing”.
-
Water Retention: HA molecules attract and bind moisture, keeping the treated area hydrated and improving skin suppleness.
Administration Protocol
-
Technique: Linear retrograde, fanning, or bolus injections.
-
Depth: Must be injected into the deep dermis.
-
Professional Note: It should not be used in the superficial dermis or peri-orbital area (tear troughs) due to the risk of visible lumps or the Tyndall effect.
-
Post-Care: Patients should avoid pressure on the area, high heat (saunas), and vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours.
FAQ
Q: How does Ultra 4 differ from Juvéderm Ultra 3?
A: Ultra 3 is designed for medium wrinkles and lip volume, while Ultra 4 is denser and intended for deep folds and structural volumization of the cheeks and chin.
Q: Can I use Ultra 4 in the lips?
A: It is generally considered too thick for the lips and may result in an unnatural feel; Ultra 3 or the Vycross range (Volift/Volbella) are typically preferred for lip treatments.
