What else helps besides cold after Juvederm around the mouth?

If you are concerned with swelling and bruising
there a couple of different things you could do to reduce the risks.One would be to stop all blood thinning
agents approximately one week prior to and one week after Juvederm injections
(such as alcohol, Ibuprofen, aspirin, Vitamin E and Fish Oil).Second would be to find a doctor who injects
using microcannulas.A microcannula is a
small flexible needle without a sharp tip.This allows
filler to be injected more precisely and reduces the chance of bruising.Icing the area on and off after treatment
will help to reduce swelling.I hope
this helps!

The microcannula is amazing!  I've been using it in my practice for a little over a year now and it has transformed the way I do fillers.  The biggest change is the incidence of severe bruising which has decreased from 30% to less than 5%

 

The round tip doesn't injure vessels like a needle does.  The round tip also allows me to inject around the tear trough more thoroughly. 

 

My patients that have had it both ways LOVE the microcannula, minimal bruising, and minimal discomfort.  I don't find the ice to really be necessary now that I'm using the microcannula.

 

Good luck in your search for information!
