JUVÉDERM® injections: before & after treatment instructions
Before JUVÉDERM® injection treatment
• No anti-inflammatory drugs (Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Vioxx, etc.), aspirin, high doses of Vitamin E, or Ginko Biloba one week prior to treatment. This will reduce the possible side effects of bruising and/or swelling in the treated area(s).
• Consumption of alcoholic beverages prior to treatment can
increase the chances of bruising and/or swelling.
• You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding to receive treatment.
• If you have a history of oral herpes, you must pre-treat with
an anti-viral three days before your scheduled visit.

After Your JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel Injections Treatment
• Swelling, redness, and tenderness will occur after your
treatment and usually resolves within 72 hours.
• Cold compresses (a cloth dipped in cold water, wrung out, and
applied to the injected area) may be used immediately after
treatment to reduce swelling.
• Avoid touching the treated area within 6 hours of treatment so
you do not accidentally injure your skin. After that, the area
can be gently washed with soap and water.
• Until there is no redness or swelling, avoid exposure of the
treated area to intense heat (sun lamp or sun bathing) or
extreme cold weather.
• If you have suffered previously from facial cold sores, there
is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another
occurrence. Ask your treatment provider about medications
that may minimize a recurrence.
• Avoid taking aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
medications, St. John's wort, and high doses of Vitamin E
supplements for one week after treatment. These agents may
increase the risk of bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
• Avoid aesthetic lasers, microdermabrasion, or IPL over areas
with JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel for a minimum of one week after treatment.

JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel Injections Treatment Follow Up
• Follow up JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel treatments should be scheduled usually every six months.
• Consistent repeated JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel treatments will produce best resolution of wrinkles.
