Preparing for Juvederm treatment is straightforward, but following pre-treatment guidelines helps ensure optimal results and minimize side effects. Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil supplements for 7-10 days before treatment to reduce bruising risk. Also avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to your appointment.
Come to your appointment with clean skin—no makeup, lotions, or skincare products on the treatment areas. We will cleanse the area thoroughly, but starting with clean skin helps prevent infection risk. If you have a history of cold sores and plan lip treatment, discuss antiviral medication with Dr. Kupetz beforehand.
Schedule your Juvederm appointment in Olive, NY when you can avoid major social events for a few days afterward, just in case you experience temporary swelling or bruising. Most patients return to work and normal activities immediately, but having a buffer gives you confidence. We will provide detailed post-treatment instructions to optimize your healing and results.
