Annas Cosmetics Top After-Treatment Safety Tips - Juvederm | Page 5

Avoid Alcohol for At Least a Day Taking alcohol a few hours after Juvederm treatment will aggravate injection bruising and result in inflammation. In addition, consumption of alcohol following Juvederm injection has been shown to irritate the injection area. Besides, alcohol increases swelling of lips when Juvederm is administered for lip augmentation. Therefore, avoid the drink for at least 24 hours and instead consider drinking flavored water for hydration. Treat Your Skin with Care Inasmuch as you want to apply makeup and other cosmetic products, ensure that you apply them gently on your skin to avoid bruising. Juvederm requires some time to settle and it's highly recommendable that your skin stays clear of disturbances for at least one or two days. In addition, avoid applying exfoliating agents, glycolic acid products, and retinol for about 2 days to protect your skin from inflammation. Additionally, don’t use a cleansing brush or facial device that may inflame your skin after Juvederm treatment.
