Juvaderm | Juvederm | Side Effects
Complications and side effects from Juvaderm (also known as Juvederm) are uncommon and usually mild and last no longer than a few hours to a few days. The most common side effects are temporary redness, swelling, itchiness, pain and bruising. As with all procedures where the skin is penetrated, there is always a risk of infection if strict hygiene is not maintained.
After the injection procedure patients are advised to avoid the following
- strenuous exercise
- excessive exposure to the sun
- Alcohol consumption
Apparently exposure to these three factors may cause itching, swelling or redness at the injection sites.
Similarly persons who have had skin treatment such as lasers or chemical peels just before a scheduled Juvaderm injection or plan to have these treatments immediately after the injection are advised to avoid having these procedures too close together as they may cause an increased inflammation at the injection sites.
Persons who are taking blood thinners such as aspirin, plavix and ticlid or warfarin may need to stop their medications for about a week before the procedure to minimise the risk of persistent bleeding after injections.
Patients who have a history of severe allergies, or a history of allergy to gram-positive bacterial proteins, are not advised to have Juvaderm injections.
