How Long After Juvederm Should I Wait Before Having Other Facial Treatments?

Hi,

All of the treatments that you have asked about (IPL, Chemical Peel, & Microdermabrasion) are superficial and should not go deep enough to affect your Juvederm.  I would recommend waiting at least until your swelling and redness resolve from your Juvederm injections.

Good luck and be well.

Juvederm can be safely combined with other injectable fillers like Radiesse or Restylane. In addition, once the filler has had time to integrate into the skin, which is usually about a week after the treatment, it is OK to do other laser treatments, such as Fraxel laser treatment. They should not degrade or dissolve the filler.

As most treatment, such as microdermabrasion, lasers, and peels, do not penetrate the depth of the fillers, and there are no studies that demonstrate and adverse effect on the fillers by these procedures, provided that there is not too deep a pressure or manipulation of the recently injected filler, there shouldn't be a reason not to do the treatments as soon as a day after but usually we wait a few days, unless the other treatments are done immediately before the fillers, the same day.

You should wait at least several days after all filler injections before any facial treatments that will put pressure on your skin because all fillers are somewhat malleable for several days. Peels should not be a problem but most IPL devices, lasers and microdermabrasion could potentially change the shape of your filler if heavy pressure is applied during the treatment.

Generally we tell patients to wait a week for any bruising and swelling to go away before having other facial treatments. For more information about Juvederm visit my website.
