Is it okay to use mineral sunscreen before Juvederm or Voluma?

Thank you for your question.  It is completely safe to use your usual topical creams before your injection appointment.  The practitioner will be cleaning the area thoroughly before injecting .  Following your injections, you should wait about 8 hours to reapply any topical lotions or creams to reduce any chance of infection.  Best of luck. 

Yes, you can use mineral sunscreen prior to your Juvederm treatment. It will take up to 2 weeks for your final results with Juvederm. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question! It's a great idea for you to protect your skin and it is fine to use sunscreen prior to receiving your Juvederm treatment.  Your injector will remove all makeup, sunscreen, etc in the treatment area prior to injecting. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question! It is safe to use skincare, sunscreen and makeup prior to getting injected. At my office, we supply make up wipes and facial cleanser to our patients. Before the patient gets injected they can remove any product that's on their face. After they clean off their product, alcohol is then used to prep and sterilize the injection site. Alcohol disinfects the skin prior to injections in order to prevent infections caused by bacteria on the skin being injected within tissue.

Thank you for your question.  Sunscreen is the single most important treatment to prevent facial aging.  It is safe to use before and after injection with dermal fillers.  Your injector will likely sterilize the area to be injected with alcohol prior to your treatment.  An in-person consultation with an experienced injector can help provide more information.

You are smart to continue using your sunscreen at all times. You can wear your sunscreen directly to your appointment. When the provider injects any filler, it is standard for them to clean and sterilize the area before any injection so the sunscreen will not affect anything. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MDBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonIG: @drjohnsonlee

It is perfectly okay to use any sunscreen you desire. Your treating physician is still going to clean your face with some alcohol wipes prior to the treatment. You can reapply sunscreen approximately half an hour following your treatment. Good luck from New York City

Hi. It is safe to apply sunscreen, makeup, lotions etc. before your injections. However, the provider will remove this will alcohol prior to injection to ensure the area is sterilized. Then you should wait 6-8 hours after the treatment before applying any of these topicals to the area. Hope this information answered your question and best of luck with treatment!
