4 Tips To Prolong The Lifespan Of Your Juvederm Fillers

29 June 2018
 Categories: , Blog

Juvederm is one of the most popular fillers for patients who are interested in restoring volume to certain facial features, decreasing the appearance of their fines lines, or minimizing the appearance of deep wrinkles. Some advocates even argue that it mimics the results of a mini face lift without the need for surgery.

You can expect the fillers to last one to two years, depending on the exact composition of the filler and how much the doctor decides to use. Here are a few tips you can use to prolong the lifespan of your Juvederm fillers.

1. Work with an Experienced Treatment Provider

One of the reasons that there is such a large discrepancy in the expected lifespan of Juvederm fillers is that each individual metabolizes the fillers differently. This means that one patient's body may break down the fillers in a year, while another individual's body may take closer to two years.

Working with an experienced treatment provider helps ensure that your treatments are adapted to your body. For example, if you notice that your results seem to be diminishing sooner than expected, your doctor may conclude that you are a fast metabolizer. You may be advised to return more frequently for touch-up treatments to maintain your results and negate the need for more extensive injections. 

2. Use Sunscreen Every Day

Exposure to UV radiation will cause the effects of your fillers to prematurely fade. You may notice the reappearance of fine lines, and sun damage can reduce the smoothness associated with Juvederm fillers.

Make sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every single day, even if you have no plans to go outside. It is surprising how much sun exposure you receive when you are driving your vehicle or walking to and from your car. 

If you do plan to spend the day outside, make sure to reapply your sunscreen every two hours or after exposure to water. 

3. Follow an Appropriate Skincare Routine

Juvederm fillers are not a substitute for a skincare routine that is tailored to your specific skin issues and your age. Talk to your doctor regarding what products you should use; some options include retinol creams, vitamin C serums, and items with some type of physical exfoliant (such as glycolic or salicylic acid). 

4. Avoid Squinting and Contorting Your Face

Some patients find that squinting, frowning, or scowling cause their fillers to fade more rapidly. If you wear glasses, make sure that you always have them so that you aren't tempted to squint in order to read something. During physical activity, try to maintain a neutral face to make the most of your Juvederm services.
