What Is Juvederm?
Juvederm is made from a naturally occurring substance, hyaluronic acid sugar gel polymer, the dermal filler’s main ingredient. Dermal fillers are injected into areas of concern to add volume to the skin.
Which Areas Can be Treated With Juvederm?
Juvederm can treat areas such as the forehead, around the eyes, the nasolabial folds, and around the mouth. It can also be used on the lips and cheeks. Juvederm is also commonly used during eyebrow lifts.
Combination is The Key
At your consultation, your consult coordinator will review the best combination of dermal fillers to provide results.
Why are there so many dermal fillers available? The answer is simple: using only one dermal filler may not give very noticeable results. Soft tissue filler results are often only achieved by the customized combination of two or more dermal filler products that work in different yet synergistic ways. These dermal fillers include:
● Teosyal
● Sculptra
● Bellafill (Artecoll)
● Radiesse
Am I Ready for Juvederm?
You may qualify for Juvederm treatments if you’re relatively healthy, have reasonable expectations, and prefer a minimally invasive treatment with minimal downtime.
Who Is a Juvederm Candidate?
If you are unhappy with aspects of your appearance, such as age-related volume loss, you are likely a good candidate for Juvederm. Ideal candidates should have reasonable and realistic expectations going into their treatment.
If you aren’t a good candidate for Juvederm, you can review other nonsurgical treatments available at SpaMedica.
Juvederm Risks
Juvederm comes with a slight chance of potential complications. The best thing patients can do to minimize the likelihood of complications is to select a trusted physician.
Slight Swelling
It’s normal to experience subtle swelling at the injection site. This typically goes away within 1 to 2 days.
Mild Bruising
Some patients experience minor bruising at the injection site. The bruising typically goes away within a few days. Dr. Amber Chen and your SpaMedica injection specialist will help patients prepare for the treatment to minimize bruising.
Slight Discomfort
Slight discomfort is typical following a Juvederm injection. The discomfort is so mild that most people do not need to take over-the-counter medication to alleviate it.
Inflammation, Redness, and Lumpiness
While rare, some patients experience severe inflammation, redness, and lumpiness. These side effects normally disappear within a week. If they last longer, patients should contact SpaMedica.

How to Prepare for Juvederm
Juvederm injections are relatively simple, and minimal preparation is required. Patients need to:
- Stop smoking
- Avoid taking blood-thinning medication and Aspirin
- Stop drinking alcohol for two weeks
Dr. Chen or the injection nurse will discuss additional preparations with patients if needed. Proper preparation reduces the risk of swelling and bruising.
Juvederm Recovery and Timeline
People go home or back to work immediately following a Juvederm injection. There is no downtime, but people should take precautions, such as no direct sunlight, drinking alcohol or wearing makeup for the first 24 hours. Patients should also refrain from strenuous activity on the first day.
There might be slight swelling, bruising, and discomfort for a day or two. By day three, most people are completely healed. It’s important not to rub the treated area for the first several days.
