Sun tanning is not recommended whether you use Juvederm or not

Suntanning not only damages the skin but can ultimately lead to skin cancer. This includes the use of tanning beds. Spray tans are safe and recommended. If you choose to tan, which I do not recommend, the only restriction would be not to tan if you received a bruise from your Juvederm injection. I agree with Dr Cohen, that a tan over a bruise may leave you with a long term darkening of the skin in that area.

Sun tan treatment after Juvederm

Are you tanning the next day? Then NO! But wait a week than it is OK, but why tan? Use a spray less skin issues as you age. Regards from sunny Miami.

Juvederm and a Sun Tan treatment

A spray tan is ok the day after treatment. A tanning bed treatment is never ok because it damages your skin. If you decide that you want to get a tan, despite the risk, it is important not to get a tan if you have a bruise from the Juvederm treatment. A tan, over a bruise, can leave a long term darkening of the skin in that area.

Sun tan and fillers

If you are having a spray tan, wait until the next day so that the needle holes through which the filler was injected seal up and not allow entry of the tanning spray. If you are asking a dermatologist if it is safe to get a suntan from a suntan parlor or natural sun, then I'm afraid regardless of having a filler or not, we will all say it's not safe to get a tan.

Is it safe to have sun tan treatment after Juvederm?

Hi Lily, If you are asking about spray tan, then yes it is safe after Juvederm injections.  Tanning beds are never safe, with or without Juvederm as they have been associated with increased risk of skin cancer (see web reference below). Good luck and be well. Dr. P

JUvede mand tanning

It is perfectly fine to go for a tan after juvederm, it will not damage the product,  but I wouldn't recommend the sun exposure too much because it can prematurely age you.

You should be fine if you use tanning spray after Juvederm

We are all hoping that you mean tanning spray and NOT tanning beds. The answer in that case is that there should be no problem using spray tan after Juvederm injection, however it would be safer if you waited for a day or two so the injection sites heal first.

Juvederm and Sun Tan Treatments

Yes, it won’t be an issue at all. But my recommendation is a spray tan, looks just as good and is completely SAFE!  Remember artificial sun or regular sun tanning will break down your collagen.

Suntan may undermine youthful appearance after Juvederm

In your question you seem to be trying to trap me into saying that a suntan, under some circumstances is safe. I won't. What I will say is that tanning should have no affect on your Juvederm treatment. Presumably you are undergoing the Juvederm to maintain a youthful appearance. Why go through the expense and pain of this treatment, when you are making plans to undermine this very treatment?

I wanted to know the same question, because of this, my body is tanned and not my face. . I'm scared of wrinkles on my face and making my botoxed foerhead disintegrate fast in the rays, I think that juverderm will also disintegrate faster in the rays too. I tan my body all the time though (I live in Australia) My trick is to get a foundation that is a shade or two darker, to match. It may look wierd when you wash your foundation off . I've used fake tan on my face, but it comes off fast because of daily cleansing (I use a 2% Salicylic acid based face wash to prevent zits that I'd be prone to otherwise- which ruins fake tans fast :-/). I wish there was a better way. All I know is the "foundation to match the body" trick.
