First Timers: What to Expect During Juvéderm Injections

Juvéderm is a non-invasive treatment option for fighting signs of aging. Juvéderm is a dermal filler most often used to erase lines and wrinkles, or plump the tissue, on the face, neck, and lips. Juvéderm works by using hyaluronic acid to promote long term volume by retaining moisture and giving instant results. This allows skin care providers to build volume based upon a patient’s specific cosmetic desires.

Understanding what to expect during a Juvéderm injection appointment can help patients feel more comfortable during the procedure. For this reason, our skin care experts at AMAE Med Spa in the Troy, MI area have created a guideline for what to expect during a Juvéderm visit.

Juvéderm Consultation

The first thing patients can expect is a Juvéderm consultation. This collaborative consultation helps the skin care team understand a patient’s goals. At the Juvéderm consultation, you will be asked about your medical history, current skin concerns, and cosmetic goals. A skin care expert will evaluate your skin’s health and areas of concern.

If a patient is a candidate for treatment with Juvéderm, the skin care team will help to identify the best formula for the goals discussed in the consultation. In addition to treatment with dermal filler, suggestions for different treatment combinations can be made to help skin appear its best! After the consultation is complete, preparation for Juvéderm injection will begin.

Juvéderm Preparation

Skin that has been cleansed regularly and cared for properly is important prior to Juvéderm injection. In preparation for a Juvéderm appointment, the skin care team will help to evaluate skin care regimens and have patients stop use of any irritating skin care products. Products that irritate the skin include exfoliants and peels. This can also include in-office treatment such as microneedling. The skin should be protected from the sun prior to the appointment. In addition to proper skin care ahead of the Juvéderm appointment, patients may also be asked to hold blood thinners.  The skin care team at AMAE Med Spa in Troy, MI will offer customized guidance in preparation of the Juvéderm appointment.

Treatment with Juvéderm

On the day of the Juvéderm treatment appointment, the skin in the area of treatment will be cleansed and a topical anesthetic will be applied to help to number the treatment area. Juvéderm is injected into the skin through a syringe. The skin care expects at AMAE Med Spa will inject the product to build volume based on the pre-discussed goals in the consultation.

The quantity of filler received at the visit will vary depending on the patient and their goals. But on average, the Juvéderm treatment time is 20 – 45 minutes. After Juvéderm treatment is complete, the injection sites are cleaned, and results will be instantly visible. Lines, folds, wrinkles, and sagging skin will be noticeably different, if not entirely erased. Patients will be given the opportunity to evaluate their Juvéderm results in the mirror. Once treatment is finished, the skin care team will provide recovery instructions.

Recovery After Juvéderm

The skin care experts at AMAE Med Spa in the Troy, MI area will provide patients with Juvéderm post procedure instructions. For approximately 2 weeks following Juvéderm injections, treatment areas shouldn’t be touched and should be washed very gently. The filler will need time to settle before the skin in the area can be touched. Until otherwise instructed by a doctor, exfoliants, sun exposure, and blood thinners should continue to be avoided. Patients report skin returning to normal within a week of treatment.

Results with Juvéderm

Final results from a Juvéderm injection treatment will be visible in 2 weeks. Skin improvements and anti aging benefits will remain in place from 6 – 18 months. Juvéderm filler is safely absorbed into the body over time, and at this stage patients will notice signs of aging returning. This is an ideal time to schedule additional treatment appointments. On average, most patients receive Juvéderm just once or twice per year. Juvéderm is an easy, non invasive treatment with long-lasting results.
