Side Effects
Redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration. Most reactions will subside in seven days or less.
Recovery & Resuls
The treated area may feel fuller than normal right after treatment, but this condition should resolve on its own quickly.
Results of Juvederm will endure for about 6 months, but many patients can benefit from a follow-up treatment a few weeks later. Additional injections and touch-ups may be requested to achieve optimal correction. Because hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance, it will gradually absorb into the body.
Risks
There is a small risk of injection (as with any injection procedure). Because of the biocompatibility of hyaluronic acid, Juvederm carries little risk of allergic reaction.
