How To Prepare For Juvederm?

There isn’t a strict protocol for preparing for this treatment, but you have to take a few important steps. First of all, consult your doctor about the kind of Juvederm treatment you need. You have to let the doctor know about your expectations from this treatment and then the doctor would be able to suggest the best treatment method.

You would not have to prepare much as your treatment might be on the same day as the consultation. This is because Juvederm does not even require a lot of preparation by the doctor either, as it is minimally invasive. When you go to the doctor, make sure to tell him or her about the medicines you are taking.

A few weeks before the treatment, you must avoid drinking alcohol and stop smoking. These things help in minimizing the risk of bruising as a result of the treatment. If you have any allergies, especially skin allergies, let your doctor know about them

How Does Juvederm treatment Work?

The working of Juvederm treatment is quite simple: it helps in increasing the volume in different facial regions. The ingredient present in it, hyaluronic acid, brings volume to cheeks, lips and mouth region. Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced in the body too. It helps in strengthening the connections between different fibrous proteins in the skin. with age, the production of hyaluronic acid in the body is decreased and the skin starts to sag. With this treatment, the hyaluronic acid production is replenished and the skin regains its plumpness.

1. Before giving the injection, the doctor would mark the area of treatment with a pen.
2. Then, he or she will inject Juvederm filler into the marked region.
3. After that, they will massage the injection region so that the ingredients of the injection can spread evenly into the surrounding regions.

This process takes around 20 to 60 minutes. If the area to be treated is bigger, more time is needed. However, if the area to be treated is smaller, the process will be done in about 15 minutes
