Is It Safe to Get a Sun Tan After Juvederm?

Question

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

If you are having a spray tan, wait until the next day so that the needle holes through which the filler was injected seal up and not allow entry of the tanning spray.  If you are asking a dermatologist if it is safe to get a suntan from a suntan parlor or natural sun, then I'm afraid regardless of having a filler or not, we will all say it's not safe to get a tan.

Hi Lily,
If you are asking about spray tan, then yes it is safe after Juvederm injections.  Tanning beds are never safe, with or without Juvederm as they have been associated with increased risk of skin cancer (see web reference below).
Good luck and be well.

It is perfectly fine to go for a tan after juvederm, it will not damage the product,  but I wouldn't recommend the sun exposure too much because it can prematurely age you.

Nissan Pilest, MD · Answer

We are all hoping that you mean tanning spray and NOT tanning beds.
The answer in that case is that there should be no problem using spray tan after Juvederm injection, however it would be safer if you waited for a day or two so the injection sites heal first.

Bruce E. Katz, MD · Answer

Yes, it won&rsquo;t be an issue at all. But my recommendation is a spray tan, looks just as good and is completely SAFE!  Remember artificial sun or regular sun tanning will break down your collagen.
