Frequently Asked Questions
As a hyaluronic acid-based filler, JUVÉDERM can help eliminate or improve the appearance of a number of facial features. JUVÉDERM is most commonly used in the upper areas of the face, such as the cheeks, to create soft contours and eliminate the appearance of signs of aging like wrinkles, lines, and folds. JUVÉDERM can also be effective at adding volume in places that appear hollow or sunken, prompting a more youthful appearance.
Ideal candidates for JUVÉDERM are adults in overall good health who are looking to enhance their facial features with dermal fillers. Candidates for JUVÉDERM injectables should be non-smokers and be able to maintain realistic expectations about the appearance of their results.
If you have skin infections, those will have to be treated before you can begin your dermal injections. You also should postpone the treatment if you are nursing or pregnant.
JUVÉDERM should not be used in patients who have severe allergies marked by a history of anaphylaxis or a history or presence of multiple severe allergies.
Just like any other injectable, JUVÉDERM treatments still come with several side effects. These include:
- Swelling
- Redness
- Pain
- Tenderness
- Lumps or bumps beneath the skin
- Discoloration
- Itching
- Dryness
These side effects are all common after receiving JUVÉDERM injections. For most patients, these side effects will resolve themselves within 30 days. If you experience any complications during your recovery, Dr. Belz is prepared to provide you with the care and treatment you’ll need.
JUVÉDERM injections typically do not require a long recovery time. Most patients can return to their daily routines immediately after receiving JUVÉDERM injections. However, side effects such as swelling, bruising, or redness may last for several weeks. Most of the healing from JUVÉDERM treatments occurs within the first two weeks after treatment.
The way you take care of your skin is essential to optimizing your JUVÉDERM results and making them last as long as possible. After receiving JUVÉDERM injections, you should avoid the following:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
- Avoid tanning beds, saunas, and hot tubs.
- Avoid high-intensity workouts or strenuous physical activity.
- Avoid drinking and smoking as your filler settles.
- Avoid applying strong topical products, such as retinoids or glycolic acid to the treated area.
- Avoid massaging or applying heavy pressure to the treated area.
- Stay hydrated.
Results from JUVÉDERM fillers can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the amount of filler used, the injection location, and the type of filler used. To achieve and maintain your ideal results, it is recommended that you schedule treatments every one to two years.
While JUVÉDERM can last up to two years, some patients like to be proactive about maintaining their results and ensuring their JUVÉDERM fillers last as long as possible. To make this happen, we recommend following these tips:
- Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
- Apply hydrating moisturizer to the skin.
- Wear sunscreen with SPF30 or higher daily.
- Avoid sun exposure.
