What is Juvéderm?
Juvéderm is a collection of hyaluronic acid fillers designed to enhance facial features, restore lost volume, and smooth lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that your body naturally produces to keep the skin hydrated. When injected, Juvéderm replenishes areas affected by aging or volume loss, helping patients achieve a refreshed appearance without surgery. Each product in the Juvéderm family is formulated to address specific concerns.

What to Expect
During your appointment, your injector will evaluate your facial structure and discuss your goals to determine the right Juvéderm product for each treatment area. The injections take between 15 and 30 minutes to complete. Many Juvéderm formulas contain lidocaine, which helps enhance your comfort throughout the injection process.
Juvéderm Results & Recovery
Juvéderm results are visible almost immediately and continue to improve as the filler settles and your swelling subsides. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur, but these effects typically last only a few days. Depending on the Juvéderm product used, results can last several months to two years. Maintaining good skincare habits and following post-treatment instructions can help prolong your results.
Juvéderm FAQs
Can I wear makeup after Juvederm?
We recommend that you wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup after Juvederm injections. This helps reduce the risk of irritation or infection at the injection sites.
Can you wash your face after Juvederm?
You can gently wash your face after Juvederm, but it’s best to wait a few hours post-treatment. Use lukewarm water and mild cleanser, avoiding pressure or rubbing on the injection sites. Pat dry instead of wiping.
Does juvederm expand?
When injected, Juvederm initially draws in water molecules and swells slightly, enhancing the plumped appearance in the treated area. This hydrophilic nature means that Juvederm can "expand" to some extent as it attracts moisture. However, this expansion is predictable and controlled, achieving natural-looking results that typically last several months to a year.
How painful are Juvederm injections?
Generally, patients have reported feeling a mild to moderate level of pain, which is often described as a slight pinch or a stinging sensation at the injection site. However, many Juvederm products are formulated with lidocaine, an anesthetic that helps to reduce pain during the procedure, making the experience more tolerable.
Does juvederm soften up?
Juvederm typically feels firmer right after treatment and softens over 1–2 weeks as it integrates with your tissue. This is a normal part of the settling process.
How can I make Juvederm last longer?
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and using quality skincare can help extend results. Follow all aftercare instructions from your injector. Regular maintenance appointments also help preserve your look.
Can juvederm migrate?
Juvederm can shift slightly from the injection site, but significant migration is uncommon. Proper injection technique helps minimize this risk. Swelling and movement in the days after treatment may cause temporary changes in appearance.
Can you drink alcohol after Juvederm?
It’s best to avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours after Juvederm injections. Alcohol can increase bruising and swelling by dilating blood vessels. Waiting ensures better healing and optimal results.
How do you get rid of Juvederm bumps?
Small bumps often resolve on their own within a week or two. Gentle massage may help if recommended by your provider. Persistent or firm bumps may require hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler.
How long after Juvederm will I see results?
You’ll notice results immediately after treatment, though some swelling and redness are normal. Most patients see their final outcome after about 1–2 weeks once the filler settles.
Is Juvederm better than Botox?
Choosing between Juvederm and Botox depends on individual goals and the specific areas of concern you wish to address. Some people even opt for a combination of both treatments to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Ultimately, the decision should be guided by your cosmetic objectives, taking into account the specific attributes of each product.
Is Juvederm safe to use?
Juvederm is widely regarded as a safe and effective dermal filler option for adding volume and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. As a hyaluronic acid-based injectable, Juvederm is biocompatible, which means it closely mimics the natural substances found in the skin, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
Can juvederm be reversed?
Juvederm can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed. This process breaks down the hyaluronic acid filler quickly. Reversal is usually done for overcorrection, asymmetry, or rare complications.
Does juvederm dissolve over time?
Juvederm naturally breaks down in the body over several months. The exact duration depends on the product used, treatment area, and your metabolism. Touch-up treatments are needed to maintain results.
How often can juvederm be injected?
The frequency with which Juvederm can be injected depends on various factors, including the specific type used, the area being treated, and an individual's unique skin properties. On average, many people opt to have touch-up injections every 6 to 12 months to maintain their desired look.
