I've NEVER Had a Problem with Breakouts Until I Had a Series of Juvederm Injections. Why is This?

I've NEVER Had a Problem with Breakouts Until I Had a Series of Juvederm Injections. Why is This?

A: Juvederm and acne breakouts

There is no connection between Juvederm and breakouts that I am aware of.  I see many women in my clinic who present complaining of new onset breakouts of acne, so it may be coincidental.  Stressful events in life can be a source of breakouts.   If the Juvederm injections were a particularly stressful event for you, then perhaps that is a way they could be linked.

Juvederm Bruising

I had restaylne in the past and it really bruised. the bruises lasted over 3 weeks!! is juvederm similar in that I will get bruising from the injection?

A: Bruising with fillers

3 weeks is a bit long for bruising after your treatment. Unfortunately both products Juvederm and Restylane cause bruising. They are both Hyaluronics and there is something in the product that makes you bruise. The good news is that they last a long time for the patient. There are some things you can do to decrease your chance of bruising. you want to avoid Aspirin, anti-inflamatories (such as Motrin and Alleve), vitamin E and some herbals for 10 days prior to your treament.. Applying ice afterwards helps a little. also arnica cream and/or pills help for some patients.

If a patient really can't have bruising I offer Sculptra or Artefill if they are treating areas compatible with these products. I find these 2 products don't bruise much in most patients. Of course, you can't use these products in or around the lips but they work well for the nasolabial and marionette lines..
