Annas Cosmetics Top After-Treatment Safety Tips - Juvederm | Page 6

Do Not Expose Your Skin to Heat
Heat expands the blood vessels and aggravates injection bruising. In addition,
high temperature can cause irritation on your skin, consequently leading to
inflammation. Therefore, it’s advisable to avoid sunbathing, hot showers, or
getting near a fireplace. Besides irritating your skin, UV rays from sunlight
degrade the hyaluronic acid, consequently reducing the effectiveness of Juvederm
treatment.
Avoid Strenuous Activities
Resting is paramount after Juvederm injection, otherwise, you will subject your
skin to inflammation besides bruising the injection location. Therefore, don’t
participate in engaging activities such as exercising, sports training, running for
about 24 hours after the treatment. Moreover, engaging in such activities may
worsen the side effects such as reddening, swelling, and tenderness.
