What to Do Before, During and After Juvederm

Making an appointment for any treatment, cosmetic or otherwise, can be pretty nerve-wracking. If you don’t know the protocol for the procedure, what you’re supposed to do before, during, or after, it can be pretty daunting when you walk into the clinic, not knowing what to expect. And while clinics do their absolute best to enlighten on as much of the information as possible, to ensure that you understand the procedure, they may not have the time to tell you everything you want to know.

Which is why there are some very important things which Manhattan’s MiracleFace MedSpa clinic would like to share with you about the Juvederm NYC area’s favorite dermal filler. Being more informed can help you understand what to expect, thus going to the clinic with more confidence, something that is very important when having cosmetic treatment.

So hopefully, after reading this, you’ll be a little more comfortable with Juvederm, as you’ll have a much better idea as to what it actually is, what it does, and what you can expect to see and feel.

Before the Procedure

While Juvederm injections are very casual, in the sense that they’re minimally invasive and don’t require the surgeons to cause any damage to your skin, there are still some things you can do to get ready for the treatment. There’s no such thing as being too ready and the more you know, the easier the treatment and procedure will be for you.

The first thing you should know about Juvederm is that much like pretty much any other dermal filler, it involves several injections into key areas of the face. This makes the procedure minimally invasive, as there is very little skin or bodily damage involved in the procedure. Any procedure, be it cosmetic or medical, comes with a certain amount of setbacks in the form of recovery and side effects.

The major advantage of minimally invasive procedures is that you don’t have to worry about any scars or stitches after the treatment is finished. With injections, the only side effects come from the compound itself, as opposed to the application of the compound. This means that the downtime and recovery will be much shorter and a lot lighter when compared to other kinds of procedures, again both medical and cosmetic.

As far as preparing for the actual procedure goes, there’s not much that you really have to do considering that Juvederm has been developed to be as widely applicable as possible. Very few people claimed they had any difficulties with the compound itself, but you should still consult your medical professional prior to making an appointment. Juvederm is considered to be one of the safest cosmetic treatments on the market, but clarifying the fact of whether or not your body is going to permit the compound will guarantee your safety.

Other than visiting your doctor, you should also try and put as little pressure on your skin as possible, to make sure that it’s ready and strong enough during the procedure itself. You never want to put too much strain on your body before any kind of treatment.

The Procedure

The procedure itself is very quick and painless. Depending on how many injections you’re going in for, the procedure should last you anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes maximum. If you made all the decisions beforehand, like what’s parts of your face you want to be treated and how, then the only thing left will be to administer the injections, and while there are several of them, they take very little time and you can expect to be finished within the hour.

Even if you’re afraid of needles, you have nothing to worry about, considering that the clinic specialists apply numbing cream to your face to make sure that no negative sensations are being full during the procedure.

The needles themselves are very thin and so the only thing you’ll be feeling is the sensation of tugging as they’re inserted and pulled out. Just know that the surgeons performing the treatments are highly trained and go through a lot of rigorous practice before they’re qualified to perform the procedure. If you go to the right clinic and know what you want, the procedure should be the shortest and easiest part of your Juvederm journey.

Post-Procedural Downtime

The downtime or the time it takes for your body to recover, exists for all treatments. You can expect side effects anytime you perform even the smallest change or alteration to your body. And Juvederm is no different.

However, the difference comes in the length and intensity of the recovery time. Some treatments out there require weeks, even months of recovery, using special skin products and other kinds of maintenance to calm so very uncomfortable sensations.

The most common side effects for Juvederm are very minor; most clients report things like itching, swelling, redness, dryness of the skin and very light aching. All of these have been reported to be barely painful or annoying and are easily treatable with common household skincare products.

Not only that, but the downtime also lasts for a maximum of a week after the procedure. Even if you do very little oh, you can expect the side effects to go away by themselves, although it is recommended that you do take care of the treated areas if any of the side effects do show up. But again, the recovery time is very short and light oh, you don’t have to worry about complicated maintenance procedures for your skin. You can just sit back and wait as the Juvederm compound performs its tasks.

How long or annoying your recovery time is depends on how qualified the clinic itself is. Which is why it’s always so important to pick out a good one, with proper, qualified professionals.
