It takes a big person to admit they’re wrong- which means I’m morbidly obese.
I have posted in the past that Juvederm with numbing medicine is a waste of money. I’m wrong!
I was given a tester syringe of Juvederm XC, the Juvederm with numbing medicine in it. I put that syringe on the right side of a patient, and used regular Juvederm on the left side of the patient. My patient said that the Juvederm XC had substantially less pain, about a 2 out of 10. The regular Juvederm had a pain level of 5 out of 10. This patient is tough, and has had many other previous injections in the past several years. She was delighted to have the Juvederm XC.
Juvederm XC is regular Juvederm mixed with powdered numbing medicine inside the syringe. They make 2 kinds, Juvederm XC (lasts about 9 months), and Juvederm XC Ultra Plus (lasts about 12 months). They’re both a little more expensive than regular Juvederm, but I think it’s worth the price for alot less pain.
Below is propaganda, er video, of the introduction of Juvederm XC.
You should consider signing up for the Facebook link. I have no inside information at all, but I suspect that Allergan will send out coupons for Juvederm XC some day to people following them on Facebook.

Finally, here’s a picture of me with Dayna at the ASAPS meeting. She is a very funny and personable spokesperson.
Please note that I’m not paid by Allergan or anyone else, for this blog post. In fact, I’m starting to realize I should be paid by Allergan!
