Hello. I halve systemic scleroderma (dx’ed 2007: prom ain’t Rynauds, esophageal dymotility, and severe mall owl involvement) and have considered juvederm volbella to help the slightly drunken appearance to my tear troughs. I handle Botox well with no side effects/exacerbation of my scleroderma. I have no facial involvement. Is there my complications with an injectable filled in an individual with systemic scleroderma?

Answer: Volbella Thank you for your question. I have had patients with Scleroderma who do well with aesthetic treatments. There is no contraindication to having a hyaluronic acid filler like any from the Juvederm family of fillers if you have Scleroderma. Make sure to discuss your condition with your provider beforehand. Also make sure that every measure is taken to prevent an infection with your treatment. I am very hypervigilant about avoiding infections especially with someone who already has a chronic disorder. My protocol includes for you to wash your face at the office before I start, then I clean with alcohol and again with Hypochloris Acid before each injection. In other words choose your provider based on competency and results and not just on price to set yourself up for the best possible outcome

Answer: Juvederm and Scleroderma Hi, thank you for your question. Having Scleroderma is not a contraindication with any HA fillers including juvederm. I would suggest providing detailed medical history to your provider.
