I do not use a depilatory as a part of my lip enhancement procedure with Juvederm or any other injectable HA. I would wait one week following the injection procedure, at which time a depilatory cream, waxing, or laser hair removal treatment could be safely performed.

You should not worry about breastfeeding and having had Juvederm. It is made up of hyalurons, naturally occurring substances in the body. Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been approved by the FDA. Patients who are pregnant or nursing are not normally tested in clinical trials. I...
