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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
