Juvederm

What Does a Juvederm Treatment Consist of?

Juvederm treatments are safe for most clients. One of the professionals at Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics will meet with you to discuss your concerns, take a medical history and provide a facial analysis. At this time, we ask that you discuss any medical concerns, previous allergic reactions to lidocaine or other proteins used to create HAs and let us know if you are pregnant or nursing. This will help us to determine if JUVEDERM is safe and effective for you.

To reduce bruising and swelling, please discontinue over-the-counter aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin D, vitamin E, flaxseed, fish oil, ginger, garlic and gingko for one week prior to your appointment. Do not stop taking any prescription medications without first discussing this choice with your primary care physician. On the day of your treatment, avoid wearing any makeup to Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics in Scottsdale.

The day of your appointment, plan to spend about an hour in the facility. This allows ample time for any paperwork, questions and to help you feel comfortable in our treatment room. Once in a treatment room, Nicole Le Renard or Rebecca Embry will strategically mark spots on your cheeks to indicate the ideal injection sites. Your skin will also be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to enhance your comfort. Juvederm injections take only minutes. They typically cause little if any discomfort as the formulation includes lidocaine to help numb the area. The stunning results provided by JUVEDERM are noticeable almost immediately and last for about 6-9 months after your procedure.

To enhance the effectiveness of your Juvederm treatment session, do not apply pressure to the area for about 12 hours after your session. This could cause the filler to displace in the skin. It is also important to avoid vigorous activities for 24 hours after treatment. Some swelling and bruising is common, but it typically goes away after a few days. You can help manage it with ice packs placed gently against the skin. Avoid direct sunlight, and stay away from saunas or hot showers for 24-hours post-treatment. Exposure to heat can cause the blood vessels to dilate, increasing your chances of bruising or bleeding. Call Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics with any questions or concerns.
