Affirm laser and fillers

The Affirm is a non-ablative fractionated laser that improves fine lines and wrinkles. Although I respect both of the doctors that anmswered the question, they are wrong. I published a research study that proved that lasers do NOT effect fillers placed under the skin in any way. Goldman MP, Alster TS, Weiss RA: A randomized trial to determine the influence of laser therapy, monopolar radiofrequency and IPL therapy administered immediately after hyaluronic acid gel implantation. ... more

Affirm treatment after juvederm

The answer to your question is "it depends".  Factors to consider is the depth to which the juvederm is injected and whether you are referring to the 1440 nm Affirm laser or the Affirm CO2.  You should discuss this with your doctor.  I would not use a laser that would interact with the filler but it may be safe to deliver laser energy over the top of the filler if there isn't any penetration of laser energy into the filler itself.

Affirm laser therapy should not be performed for several weeks after Juvaderm

Affirm laser therapy should not be performed for several weeks after Juvaderm. Before that time there is a theoretical risk that the heat from the laser might damage the Juvaderm.
