Extend The Results Of JUVÉDERM® With These Tips
- Follow All Aftercare Instructions
Although JUVÉDERM® requires very little downtime, many people assume it needs no aftercare, but the two aren’t synonymous. Your injection specialist will give you instructions for aftercare. Follow these instructions to help the effects of JUVÉDERM® last longer, deliver the best results, and minimize any swelling or bruising after injections. - Avoid Alcohol for 24 Hours
Not drinking alcohol for the first 24 hours after JUVÉDERM® injections will lower your risk of developing bruising or swelling shortly after injection. Remember that alcohol thins your blood and this can affect your results after any type of injection. - Protect Yourself Against UV Rays
Although you should always take precautions against UV rays in order to protect your skin, these precautions can also help your JUVÉDERM® results last longer. UV exposure can cause some fillers to break down, causing the plumping effect to wear off faster. To avoid this, wear sunscreen or a moisturizer with SPF 30 every day. And don’t forget the lips. To protect lip fillers, make sure your lip balm also has SPF protection. - Stay Hydrated
Hydrating your skin by drinking water and applying moisturizers can do wonders for keeping you looking young. Drinking plenty of water helps the effects of JUVÉDERM® last longer and it prevents the further development of wrinkles and fine lines while keeping your skin supple. - Use Serums
Although JUVÉDERM® will encourage the production of new collagen growth, using collagen serums can help maintain these results. Retinol can also help boost your body’s natural collagen production to prolong the effects of JUVÉDERM® fillers. - Eat Well
Processed sugars and excess salt and fat can cause inflammation in the body that leads to a faster breakdown of the injected JUVÉDERM®. To keep your skin healthy and to extend the effects of JUVÉDERM® for longer, eat a balanced diet with a variety of nutrients from veggies and whole grains, and include healthy fats. - Leave Your Face Alone
Within the first week after a JUVÉDERM® treatment, do not schedule any facials or face massages. Do not poke, prod, or vigorously scrub the areas with JUVÉDERM® fillers since they will need some time to settle. Treat your face gently to get the best and longest-lasting results from your fillers.
