How Long Is Recovery After Juvéderm?

After a JUVÉDERM treatment, patients often notice immediate improvements, although mild swelling or bruising might occur in the treated areas for roughly 7 to 10 days. Typically, the effects of JUVÉDERM dermal fillers last up to a year. In some cases, with repeated treatments over several years, patients find their enhancements lasting longer. It’s recommended to consult with Dr. Rao at Rao Plastic & Hand Surgery to determine the ideal timing for a touch-up session to sustain and refresh your results.

What To Expect During Juvéderm Injections

JUVÉDERM injections typically take around 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the targeted treatment areas. Before the injections, your face will be cleansed, and the specific sites for injection will be marked. To minimize discomfort, a topical anesthetic cream is applied. Additionally, JUVÉDERM dermal fillers contain a local anesthetic (lidocaine) for added comfort during the treatment. Following the procedure, you can resume your regular activities, but it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours. Also, refrain from touching or massaging your face to prevent unintended shifting of the filler.

Are JUVÉDERM injections painful?

While many patients don't require it, a local anesthetic can be applied before the injections if you're concerned about discomfort. Afterward, you might notice mild swelling or bruising, typically subsiding within 5 to 7 days, depending on the treated area. Should you experience prolonged discomfort or unusual side effects, please reach out to our office for assistance.

What is the difference between a wrinkle filler and relaxer?

Injectable fillers and relaxers offer solutions for facial wrinkles, but they work differently. Injectable wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX, target dynamic wrinkles formed by repeated muscle contractions. On the other hand, JUVÉDERM is an injectable dermal filler that addresses static wrinkles by restoring volume, ideal for mild to moderate wrinkles or enhancing volume in areas like the lips and cheeks.

What results can I expect?

The complete effects of your treatment may become evident within 1 to 3 days. Usually, one session is sufficient to meet your goals, but if you desire further enhancement or additional volume, you can schedule a follow-up appointment.

How long do results typically last?

The duration of results from a single JUVÉDERM treatment can range from 1 to 2 years. The longevity varies based on the specific filler used, injection sites, and individual metabolic rates, as your body's breakdown of the product influences how long the effects will last.
