Juvéderm Ultra 4 is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid dermal filler from Allergan Aesthetics (AbbVie), supplied as two 1 mL prefilled syringes at 24 mg/mL with 0.3% lidocaine. It is the firmest, most volumising member of the Juvéderm Ultra range, placed deeper than Ultra 3 for deep folds, facial contour, chin and jawline definition and lip projection. Injection depth and technique are product-specific per the manufacturer’s labeling, and it is intended for administration by qualified medical professionals.
What is Juvéderm Ultra 4?
Juvéderm Ultra 4 is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid dermal filler from Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company, and the most robust member of the Juvéderm Ultra range. Like the rest of the range it is formulated at 24 mg/mL of hyaluronic acid and carries 0.3% lidocaine for comfort during injection. It is supplied as two 1 mL prefilled syringes.
Within the Ultra range the number reflects how the gel behaves, not how much hyaluronic acid it holds: all of them are 24 mg/mL, while the higher numbers are firmer and more cohesive, so they are placed deeper and hold projection better.
How does Juvéderm Ultra 4 compare with the rest of the Ultra range?
Both are 24 mg/mL cross-linked hyaluronic acid with 0.3% lidocaine, supplied as two 1 mL syringes. The difference is the gel itself: Ultra 3 is the mid-to-deep dermal workhorse for folds and lip body, while Ultra 4 is the firmer, more volumising option placed deeper where projection and contour are the goal.

What is Juvéderm Ultra 4 used for?
It is commonly selected where volume and projection are wanted rather than fine-line correction — deep nasolabial folds, facial contour and cheek definition, chin and jaw refinement, and lip body volume where a firmer gel is preferred. Injection depth, volume and technique are product-specific per the manufacturer’s labeling and are decided by the treating clinician.
Commonly selected for
- Deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Facial contour and cheek definition
- Chin and jawline refinement
- Lip body volume and projection where a firmer gel is preferred
Hyaluronic acid fillers work by binding water in the tissue, so results are visible immediately and soften gradually as the gel is metabolised. Duration varies with the product, the area treated, the volume placed and the individual patient.
