Will IPL or Radio Frequency Treatment Dissolve Juvederm?

Question

I had juvederm injection and then my fotofacial RF treatment, will the heat from the fotofacial melt the juvederm?

Tanveer Janjua, MD · Answer

The material in Juvederm (Hyaluronic Acid) does not get melted by heat or IPL treatments. The only precaution is to not do both treatments at the same time. Bruising from the Juvederm injections can interfer with the IPL settings needed for photofacial.

I am not aware of any scientific studies that have shown any deleterious effect on fillers from subsequent treatment with IPL, V-beam laser, Fraxel laser, or Thermage tightening.

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

The scientific data supports no major issues with using hyaluronic acid fillers like juvederm or restylane, and having laser, light, or radiofrequency treatments. That said, my preference would be to wait at least 1 week after injecting fillers before using the other devices. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

The lasers should not impact the fillers, but I would do the fillers after the lasers, because of the potential for bruising which  may impact the lasers.

Nissan Pilest, MD · Answer

We have  used  Fraxel, IPL, VBeam  and Thermage following injections of Juvederm and Restylane without any loss of the filler.
However, we do prefer to do the Lasers or Ipl Or Radiofrequency treatments first and immediately after do the fillers
