What Happens when You Discontinue Use of Juvederm XL?

You'll look the same as before your treatment, although because the product can encourage the production of your own collagen, you may look better!

We have in the past fielded a similar question from a patient that thought they might look worse than when they started using Juvederm if and when they stopped.  Juvederm has not been on the market for that long so even patients using it since it's introduction should not look any different than they looked before starting it.

If anything, the patient may look better if they had used Juvederm continuously for a several year period.  The reason is that Hyaluronic acid fillers have been shown to help the body produce new and healthy skin tissue near and around the injections so continued use has an added benefit besides just the cosmetic look.  It does stimulate a biological response in the skin that leads to healthy tissue development.

Regardless of filler, Juverderm Ultra, Juvederm Ultraplus, Juvederm Ultra XC, Restylane L, etc., you're no worse off when stopping the filler than when you began. After all the filler wears off in a year or so, the area is not deeper than it was. In fact, there may be some of your own collagen that was formed by the healing after the procedure as proven in studies, so that you may even have a long term benefit when no longer continuing to have the filler injected.
