Question

Hi. I am 33 years old with acne prone skin and started to notice minor smile lines (nasolabial area). I am considering Juvederm Ultra Plus procedure. My query is whether I can start using M2 skin refinish 20% ( a combination of malic and mandelic acid) at night time and topical Vitamin C 10% (am) on my face a few days after this procedure. Or could it cause the filler to deplete more quickly? Thanks.

Fillers using Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultraplus, Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse, Fat Injections and even Sculptra volume augmentation, are not affected by the use of chemical peels or creams. The fillers are placed deeper than the effective penetration of the creams and peels

Great question! Products generally will not deplete your filler. It is ideal to utilize products that complement what you are doing in-office. We recommend a product that will help amplify skin’s own natural hyaluronic levels, such as SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier. This product is a multi-functional corrective serum that reduces the look of crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines for smoother, firmer skin. Clinical studies demonstrate that this product may be used as part of a home skincare regimen after injectable treatments. Always make sure to consult with your physician.
Vitamin C serums are most effectively utilized in the AM for optimal protection against environmental damage caused by free radicals. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic was was formulated under the Duke Antioxidant patent with a synergistic antioxidant combination of 15% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 1% vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), and 0.5% ferulic acid.

Thanks for the question.

	By waiting a few days following your Juvederm injection, you should experience no problems, with no concerns that the skincare products will effect the filler.

There should be no problem using skin care products after Juvederm.

	I'd wait for a day or two after your injection just to make sure you don't move the product or cause any irritation to your skin.  Regardless both of the products you mention are very mild and you should not have any problems.

It sounds like a good plan to avoid topical agents for a few days after treatment with juvederm of one of the other fillers.
