Juvederm® is a popular anti-aging treatment used to smooth facial lines and wrinkles and rejuvenate skin. If you’re considering this procedure, you might be wondering what to expect from your appointments. The guide below reveals everything you need to know about these injections.

The Beginner’s Guide to Juvederm Treatments

Initial Consultation

Before undergoing any anti-aging treatments, schedule a consultation to discuss your medical history, medications, and allergies. The specialist will likely give you some recommendations to prepare for injections. For example, you should avoid taking blood thinners a week before the procedure, which could lead to bruising.

Preparation

On the day of your Juvederm appointment, your injector will answer any lingering questions and review post-treatment care. When you’re ready to begin, they will apply a topical numbing cream to the injection site. This will sit for about ten minutes to help alleviate any discomfort you may feel.

Injection

The procedure itself takes anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. Your provider will carefully administer a series of small injections to the desired site. Once finished, they will gently massage the area to even out the filler. You’ll notice a change immediately. Expect some swelling, bruising, and redness, which should clear up within a few days.

Post-Treatment

Pay close attention to the instructions you’re given for post-treatment care. Your specialist will suggest avoiding excessive heat, direct sunlight, intense workouts, and alcohol for 24 hours. If you’re experiencing pain or swelling, ice packs can help reduce symptoms. In general, it is safe to apply makeup 15 minutes after treatment.

Follow-Up

Always book a follow-up appointment to discuss your results after the Juvederm treatment has settled in. This gives you time to make sure the anti-aging injections gave you the outcome you wanted. You can use this opportunity to ask the specialist any further questions about maintenance, as well as repeat treatments you’ll need in the future.
