I've NEVER Had a Problem with Breakouts Until I Had a Series of Juvederm Injections. Why is This?

Question

Narin (Joe) Apisarnthanarax, MD · Answer

There is no connection between Juvederm and breakouts that I am aware of.  I see many women in my clinic who present complaining of new onset breakouts of acne, so it may be coincidental.  Stressful events in life can be a source of breakouts.   If the Juvederm injections were a particularly stressful event for you, then perhaps that is a way they could be linked.

Jo Herzog, MD · Answer

There is nothing ion juvederm that should cause you to have acne as far as I know. I have not seen this happen and would not expect it to.  Maybe timing is a coincidence.

Sheri G. Feldman, MD · Answer

Juvederm usually does not cause acne so I cannot realate the two conditions.  If your "breakouts" are in the exact same places as your Juvederm injections, perhaps you are actually seeing small bumps of Juvederm.  If this is the case, please return to your injector as these can be treated.
