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

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.

Hi CarlyMB!I appreciate your concern as Clexane is a blood thinner used to treat/prevent deep vein thrombosis. The half life of Clexane is 4.5 hours. However, if I was doing this injection I would ask you to wait 7 top 14 days depending on what other medications you're taking and your overall...

It can take up to two weeks for filler to fully settle and to see a final result. Most fillers can be easily molded and moved around if needed. I would follow up with your physician for any questions or concerns. If after the 2 weeks, you are still unhappy with the results, you can use ...

I recommend following up with your injector. If necessary, the filler can be reversed with hyaluronidase. I hope this helps.

There may be some bleeding with lip injections. Significant bleeding can be due to many factors. If you're concerned, I recommend following up with your injector about your treatment. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. I hope this helps.
