WARNINGS

  •  Do not inject into blood vessels. Introduction of these products into the vasculature may lead to embolization, occlusion of the vessels, ischemia, or infarction. Take extra care when injecting soft-tissue fillers; for example, inject the product slowly and apply the least amount of pressure necessary. Rare, but serious, adverse events associated with the intravascular injection of soft-tissue fillers in the face have been reported and include temporary or permanent vision impairment, blindness, cerebral ischemia or cerebral hemorrhage leading to stroke, skin necrosis, and damage to underlying facial structures. Immediately stop the injection if a patient exhibits any of the following symptoms: changes in vision, signs of a stroke, blanching of the skin, unusual pain during or shortly after the procedure. Patients should receive prompt medical attention and, possibly, evaluation by an appropriate healthcare professional specialist should an intravascular injection occur

  • Product use at specific sites in which an active inflammatory process (skin eruptions such as cysts, pimples, rashes, or hives) or infection is present should be deferred until the underlying process has been controlled

    PRECAUTIONS

  • In order to minimize the risk of potential complications, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC and JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC injectable gels should only be used by healthcare professionals who have appropriate training, experience, and knowledge of facial anatomy

  • Healthcare professionals are encouraged to discuss the potential risks of soft-tissue injections with their patients prior to treatment and ensure that patients are aware of signs and symptoms of potential complications

  • As with all transcutaneous procedures, dermal filler implantation carries a risk of infection. Follow standard precautions associated with injectable materials

  • The safety for use during pregnancy, in breastfeeding females, and in patients under 18 years has not been established

  • The safety in patients with known susceptibility to keloid formation, hypertrophic scarring, and pigmentation disorders has not been studied

    anti-inflammatory drugs, and warfarin) may experience increased bruising or bleeding at treatment sites
