What Should You Know Before You Get Juvederm® Dermal Fillers?
Facial fillers are soft tissue fillers that essentially fill out wrinkles, restoring a younger-looking appearance. The results vary depending on the patient, their goals, and what type of filler is injected. The most suitable option will depend on the specific needs of the patient.
Patients often wonder what they can do prior to Juvederm® dermal fillers for optimized results. If you’re getting facial fillers, here’s what you should know about preparation and aftercare to help you maximize results from these treatments.
It’s important to recognize that facial fillers will involve a medical procedure. It’s best to schedule a consultation so you can ask any questions you may have. Think about the specific effects you would like fillers to have on your face and ask to see before and after photos so you can get a better idea of what the results may be like. It’s also best to give it a week for the filler to settle in as there may initially be some short-term side effects such as redness, mild bleeding, and minor discomfort.
Fillers aren’t a cure-all. While they can add volume, they won’t improve the general quality of your skin or address deep acne scars, pronounced wrinkles, brown patches, or other skin issues.
You may want to schedule your filler injections at least four weeks prior to a special event or occasion such as a wedding or vacation. This allows for complete healing and the best possible results. Avoid blood thinners if at all possible before and after cosmetic treatments. Avoid manipulating the treatment area for at least three hours. Significant movement or massage of the treated area should be avoided.

What Are Some Other Options or Alternatives to Juvederm® Dermal Fillers?
Searching for advice online about Juvederm® cost and Juvederm® near me? Western Dermatology Consultants offers a variety of aesthetic treatments aside from Juvederm® dermal fillers. Botox® or other types of botulinum toxin injections or wrinkle relaxers such as Daxxify™ and XEOMIN® work differently to Juvederm® dermal fillers–they help to prevent the muscle contractions of overactive muscles in the face that contribute to dynamic wrinkles.
There are also other skin rejuvenation treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, and dermaplaning that work differently to Juvederm® dermal fillers. These skin treatments address uneven skin tone, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, dryness, and other cosmetic concerns that cannot be corrected with Juvederm® dermal fillers.
