Is it possible for Juvederm to hypopigment the skin?

Without seeing your before and afters it is very difficult to provide you a precise answer. I can say that I have worked with Juvederm for over 10 years and I have never seen hypopigmentation from the product. Sometimes the filler can be injected too superficially and you may in fact just be seeing some filler reflecting light. However, it would appear more blue in appearance and this is referred to as the Tyndall effect. Most importantly, I highly recommend following up with your doctor about your concerns. The nice thing about Juvederm, it can be reversed with hyaluronidase. My best, Dr. Rajani

Thank you for sharing your question.  By itself Juvederm does not cause hypo pigmentation of the skin but if placed superficially it can have a blue tinge (Tyndal effect) or can cause the overlying skin to blanch and appear white.  Without photographs it is difficult to offer definite advice but see your injector for an in-person evaluation and discussion.

This is tough to answer without pictures. It is unlikely that Juvederm caused hypopigmentation. It may be that it was placed superficially and you are seeing some filler. I recommend following up with your Dr about your concerns. If you're unhappy with your final results, it can be reversed with hyaluronidase and a different technique can be used next time.
