I Had Juvederm Injected in my Nose to Mouth Lines. Can I Use BHA Exfoliator and Cream with Retinol?

Question

I had juvederm injected in my nose to mouth lines. I was wondering when can i start using BHA exfoliator and cream with retinol? I m a little bit worried because after 3 days i used 2% bha liquid exfoliator which i use everyday. Should i use these products and avoid putting them on my nose to mouth lines?

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

After injections, I recommend gentle handling and avoiding "active" products that may sting or burn for a few days. This allows you heal from the injections without further irritation. This usually resolves within a week after the treatment. You may resume your regular skin care routine when your skin is not swollen or tender. In the meantime use gentle, soothing products

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

You should avoid the areas for at least a few days and until there is an absence of bruising or swelling.

Martie Gidon, MD, FRCPC, FAAD · Answer

You should avoid any exfoliating products and retinols for at least 3 days after your Juvederm injections or until any bruising or tenderness has disappeared.

I ask my patients to avoid aggressive touching, rubbing, and products for at least 3 days after injections. Even though the injection sites are tiny and close quickly, they can be irritated by certain products like retinols and this will make it sting and red.
