Safety Considerations
As with any cosmetic procedure, safety is our top priority. If you’re considering Juvederm treatment, it’s essential to consult with a qualified provider who understands your medical history and aesthetic goals. Our Juvederm XC specialists are dedicated to providing safe, in-office, non-surgical procedures with minimal downtime, making Juvederm filler treatment an ideal choice for busy lifestyles.
JUVÉDERM® XC Side Effects
JUVÉDERM® XC injectable gel is widely regarded as safe and well-tolerated. The majority of patients experience only mild to moderate side effects, which typically resolve within 7 days or less. Common side effects may include:
- Redness
- Tenderness or pain at the injection site
- Firmness or swelling
- Bruising
- Itching or discoloration
- Lumps or bumps at the treatment site
As with all skin injections, there’s a minor risk of infection. However, because Juvederm XC injections use hyaluronic acid—a substance naturally found in the body—skin allergy testing is generally not required before treatment.
Allergies
When considering Juvederm filler treatment, a full review of your medical history is important. While most patients are suitable candidates, Juvederm treatment should not be used in individuals who have:
- A history of severe allergies or anaphylaxis
- Allergies to lidocaine
- Allergies to gram-positive bacterial proteins
Your safety is paramount, and we will perform a thorough consultation to ensure that Juvederm is right for you.
Post-treatment Considerations
After your Juvederm treatment near me, we recommend the following precautions for at least 24 hours to reduce the risk of temporary side effects:
- Avoid strenuous physical activity
- Refrain from consuming alcohol
- Limit sun or heat exposure
These activities can increase redness or swelling at the injection sites. If swelling occurs, a cold compress may help. For any lingering redness or other concerns, contact your healthcare provider or Allergan Product Support at 1-877-345-5372.
