During your first visit, Dr. Grossman will take down your medical history to make sure that you are an ideal candidate for Juvederm. Juvederm is not animal-derived and therefore you will not need to undergo an allergy test before receiving treatment. However, patients with severe allergies should speak to Dr. Grossman before the procedure, as Juvederm may not be appropriate for people with a history of anaphylaxis. The Juvederm filler is composed of hyaluronic acid, which is a type of sugar molecule, which naturally occurs in the body. This makes it very safe and effective.
A week before you undergo the procedure, it is a good idea to avoid medications that can cause bleeding, such as aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Dr. Grossman’s experience allows him to complete the procedure quickly and very effectively. The procedure itself should take less than 10 to 15 minutes. You may want to avoid strenuous exercise for twenty-four hours after your treatment, excessive sun, or drinking alcoholic beverages. Your head should probably be slightly elevated while sleeping or lying down. After a day, you can resume normal activities. Juvederm treatments last about 6 months, though each patient is unique. Some people may return for additional volume touch-ups.
