How soon after Juvederm in my lips and around the mouth must I wait to use a facial depilatory cream like Nair? (Photo)

Question

I had juvederm in my lips and around my mouth yesterday. I am traveling for work tomorrow and have some important meetings and presentations over the week. I really really need to use a depilatory cream on my chin, upper lip and around my mouth if I’m going to look my best. My most critical meetings are next Thursday so I can wait til Thursday morning if absolutely needed but I’d like to do it sooner if possible.

I would ask your injector. You may have some swelling which will gradually resolve in 1-2 weeks. I recommend waiting until your final results. I hope this helps.

As Dr. Emer recommended, this is a question you should be posing to the person who actually did your injections.  They will certainly have their protocols and can best guide you through this process.I hope that helps and wish you the very best.-Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

I recommend following up with your injector about their recommended use of a depilatory after your injections. I would wait until the swelling, which can last 1-2 weeks has subsided. Best, Dr. Emer

I appreciate your question.It's probably better to wait 5 to 7 days, but perhaps your injector/physician has a different opinion. Please give them a call and inquire about this situation. Good luck. Dr. ALDO

Thank you for your question. Because you have some swelling immediately after injections that typically can last up to two weeks, I wouldn’t recommend using a facial depilatory this soon after your filler injections. My best advice would be to talk with your injector and get their recommendation regarding how long to wait before using a facial depilatory. Good luck!
