I had juvederm injection and then my fotofacial RF treatment, will the heat from the fotofacial melt the juvederm?

Lasers and fillers

The lasers should not impact the fillers, but I would do the fillers after the lasers, because of the potential for bruising which  may impact the lasers.

IPL does not effect Juvederm

The material in Juvederm (Hyaluronic Acid) does not get melted by heat or IPL treatments. The only precaution is to not do both treatments at the same time. Bruising from the Juvederm injections can interfer with the IPL settings needed for photofacial. Regards

Generally, we do not see Juvederm dissolving due to IPL

We have used Fraxel, IPL, VBeam and Thermage following injections of Juvederm and Restylane without any loss of the filler. However, we do prefer to do the Lasers or Ipl Or Radiofrequency treatments first and immediately after do the fillers

Juvederm and radiofrequency treatment

I am not aware of any scientific studies that have shown any deleterious effect on fillers from subsequent treatment with IPL, V-beam laser, Fraxel laser, or Thermage tightening.
